What is MBG's discount rate?

MBG 's current Cost of Equity is 6.61%, while its WACC stands at 5.7%. The selection of the appropriate discount rate is contingent on the type of cash flows being discounted.

For Equity Valuation: When valuing equity, especially in scenarios where you are discounting cash flows to equity holders (such as Net Income, Earnings Per Share (EPS), or Free Cash Flow to Equity), the Cost of Equity should be used.

For Firm Valuation: In contrast, when valuing the entire firm and discounting cash flows available to both debt and equity holders (like Free Cash Flow to the Firm), the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the appropriate rate."
