Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into ALSN?

FAIR

At today's price, Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 2.4% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.85% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 4.0% a year, so the market is asking for 1.6 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis ALSN looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. is currently running 27.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against ALSN's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 60th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 25.6%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

ALSN is trading -19.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.0%, and the deepest was -45.1% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits -6.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 18th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year ALSN closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, ALSN finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.0% and an average of +2.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.7% on average, its weakest March at -1.9%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: ALSN has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 159 of 3,266 sessions (4.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +11.0% and -17.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against ALSN's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
