Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation's cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 1.8% to 5.2% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 71, DPO 58, DIO 19). At a 7.5% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (89% of enterprise value) is derived from the Gordon Growth Model on Year 6 FCFF at a 2.5% perpetual rate. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $0.47 per share, suggesting GLDD is overvalued by 97.3% at the current price of $17.00.

Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation's cash flows over 10 years with analyst estimates for the first 3–5 years, fading toward long-term GDP growth for the remaining years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 1.8% to 3.4% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 71, DPO 58, DIO 19). At a 7.5% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (75% of enterprise value) is derived from the Gordon Growth Model on Year 11 FCFF at a 2.5% perpetual rate. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $4.32 per share, suggesting GLDD is overvalued by 74.6% at the current price of $17.00.
