Reverse DCF for BSX (BSX) backs out the revenue or earnings growth rate the current share price implies, holding terminal value, margin, and discount-rate assumptions constant.
We compare the implied rate to our own forecast deceleration curve and to the historical five-year actual. When the implied rate exceeds the realistic ceiling, the price is pricing in optimism the business has not yet demonstrated.
Reverse DCF uses cost of equity (Ke), not WACC, to stay consistent with the EPS-based forward valuation models. Ke is derived from CAPM with adjusted beta; the strict and moderate variants are documented in the assumption ledger.
When the implied growth rate is below our forecast, the market is underpricing the business; when it is above, the market is overpricing. The reverse-DCF read is one of four lenses that feed the composite fair-value range and the rating band.
