Explain why terminal values in accounting-based valuation are significantly lower than those for DCF valuation


DCF terminal values include the present value of all expected cash flows beyond the forecast horizon. Note that the expected cash flows beyond the forecast horizon can be broken down into two parts: normal and abnormal. Since the terminal value in the accounting-based technique includes only the abnormal earnings (expected earnings minus cost of capital times beginning book value of equity), the terminal values in accounting-based valuation are significantly less than those for DCF valuation. The accounting-based approach recognizes that current book value and earnings within the forecast horizon already reflect many of the cash flows expected to arrive after the forecast horizon.
