📊 LLM-DETERMINED DCF PARAMETERS FOR EEFT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Euronet Worldwide is a payments/fintech infrastructure company (EFT processing, epay, money transfer) with strong FCF generation. FCF/share has compounded at ~17% over 14 years, but the business is maturing from a $4.2B revenue base. At $66.53 with ~$10/share in FCF, the stock already yields ~15% on FCF, so growth assumptions must be moderate to avoid implausible valuations. I use reported FCF of $420M as the base, which aligns with OCF minus CapEx and represents a reasonable normalized year.

Scenario Parameters (LLM-selected based on fundamental analysis):
  🔻 Bear: 3.0% growth, 12.0% WACC, 2.0% terminal
     → European ATM/payment volumes stagnate as cashless adoption accelerates, epay gaming tailwinds fade, and Ria/Xe money transfer faces margin pressure from digital-native competitors like Wise. Revenue growth decelerates to low-single digits and FCF growth barely exceeds inflation as the company reinvests to defend market position.
  ⚖️  Base: 8.0% growth, 10.5% WACC, 2.5% terminal
     → Euronet sustains mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth through geographic expansion in EFT (Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific ATM deployments), digital money transfer growth at Xe/Ria, and epay content diversification. Operating leverage and continued share buybacks drive 8% FCF growth — a deceleration from the 17% historical CAGR but still strong given the $4.2B revenue base.
  🔺 Bull: 12.0% growth, 9.5% WACC, 2.5% terminal
     → Digital payments infrastructure demand accelerates globally, Euronet's Dandelion real-time settlement network gains traction with bank partners creating network effects, and the money transfer segment benefits from structurally higher remittance volumes. Margin expansion from operating leverage and aggressive buybacks on a depressed stock drive double-digit FCF/share compounding for the decade.

Base FCF: Reported FCF of $420M aligns with OCF-CapEx calculation and is consistent with the recent $490-510M range (FY2023-2024) adjusted slightly downward for FY2025's lower OCF. The ROIC.AI FCF/share history shows a clear upward trend ($5.49 in 2018 to $14.08 in 2024), and $10.02/share on 42M shares = ~$421M confirms the reported figure. No normalization needed — this is a clean FCF generator without lending distortions.
