Valuation models

We value Arcus Biosciences, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.21 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model

Growth cash-flow model Revenue for this year and next from analysts' consensus, then growth fading to 2.5%; the operating margin moving to profitable peers'; investment needed per dollar of growth from peers; reduced by a failure probability.

Moat

10 /100

Weak moat

How hard Arcus Biosciences's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 9 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -23.2% of total assets over 9 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -258.7%; its worst year was -1679.2%.

  • Cash conversion 2 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 2 of 9 years, at a median -261.2% of revenue.

  • Discipline 0 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 79.4% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 52.7% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (15 before it).

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.
