Valuation

Access Newswire Inc. valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies cash flow shrinking about 13.2% a year for five years.That is slower than the 0.5% a year revenue growth Access Newswire has delivered.

Read with care: free cash flow has swung sharply in the past year (often a one-off tax, legal or working-capital item), so the cash-flow base behind this reading may be unusually low or high.

  • Priced in-13.2%
  • Last 12 months-0.4%
  • 3 years a year-9.9%
  • 5 years a year0.5%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($3.57, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Access Newswire Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($1.9M, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing 2.8% and 2.5% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$6.4–~$11 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Access Newswire Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $1.9M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Access Newswire Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.78 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$8.5 ~$6.4–$11 Primary model, counts double

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Access Newswire Inc. with Research & Consulting Services in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

35 /100

  • Cash conversion 18 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 16.7% of revenue.

  • Discipline 8 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 81.5% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 3.8% of revenue.

Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts (US and foreign periodic filings); column headings link to the filing. EBITDA is operating income plus depreciation and amortisation. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
