Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into BJ?

RICH

At today's price, BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 16.2% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.00% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 11.1% a year, so the market is asking for 5.1 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis BJ looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
48%

BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. is currently running 29.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BJ's own 8 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 36th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 32.4%. 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.

BJ is trading -17.0% below its running peak. Across 7 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -24.1%, and the deepest was -26.8% in 2019. 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 +6.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 51st percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year BJ closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 8 years of records, BJ finished the month higher 4 of 8 times, with a median return of -1.4% and an average of -1.7%. Its strongest month historically has been March at +8.7% on average, its weakest December at -2.9%. 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: BJ has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 164 of 2,083 sessions (7.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.5% and -8.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,084 daily closes between 2018-06-28 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against BJ's own 8-year history, not a peer group or index.
