The estimated intrinsic value of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (CIG) using a Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is $8.74 (based on the recommended DDM method), compared to the current stock price of $2.69. This suggests the stock may be undervalued by 224.9% relative to its intrinsic value.

For utility companies, which are valued primarily for their stable and predictable dividend streams, SharesGrow uses a Dividend Discount Model (DDM): Intrinsic Value = Annual Dividend ÷ (Cost of Equity − Dividend Growth Rate). This model assumes a long-term dividend growth rate of 4% — consistent with the historical average for regulated utilities — and uses a minimum 7% cost of equity. The DDM is the preferred valuation method for income-oriented stocks with stable payout histories.

The valuation uses a CAPM-derived discount rate of 4.09% (CAPM-derived from beta of 0.24). For comparison, the standard 20-year DCF model produces: Operating Cash Flow (OCF): $4.91 | Free Cash Flow (FCF): $4.16 | Net Income (NI): $5.78.

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is based on current cash flows projected at estimated growth rates. Different assumptions about future growth, margins, or risk can lead to significant valuation differences.
