Annual reporting periods — this market does not have reliable quarterly data on Yahoo (either it isn’t required, or coverage is incomplete), so annual is the most granular consistent series across free cash flow and dividends.

🏦 Bank/Insurer — valued with the Dividend Discount Model
DCF is not used for bank/insurer stocks: deposits or reserves are a raw material rather than funding, so there's no clean free cash flow. This valuation uses the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) instead.

Assumptions used in this valuation
Every input below is either fetched live from Yahoo Finance or a documented default — nothing is hidden.
| Bear | Base | Bull | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dividend growth | 2.7% | 5.4% | 8.1% |
| Terminal growth | 2.5% | 2.5% | 2.5% |
| Cost of equity | 10.20% | 9.20% | 8.20% |
Cost of Equity (CAPM) = Risk-free rate + Beta × Equity Risk Premium = 4.80% + 0.73 × 6.00% = 9.20%
These numbers come from running Westpac Banking Corporation's dividends through the mechanical DDM formula and assumptions above — not from any view on the news, management, or WBC.AX's competitive position. What is DDM?

Not financial advice. DDM valuations are highly sensitive to assumptions — small changes in growth rate or discount rate produce large swings in output. This is a mechanical calculation, not a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell.
