FEIM’s beta varies significantly by source and methodology: - 0.31 (StockAnalysis, likely 5-year monthly regression vs S&P 500) - 0.36 (Yahoo Finance, 5-year monthly) - 1.18 (TradingView, may use a shorter lookback or different methodology)
For a DCF, you have options: 1. Use raw beta of ~0.31-0.36 and accept FEIM’s historically low correlation with the market (makes sense for a niche defense/space company with no debt). 2. Relevered/adjusted beta closer to 0.5-0.7 – many practitioners adjust toward 1.0 using the Blume adjustment (Adjusted Beta = 0.33 * 1.0 + 0.67 * Raw Beta). 3. Industry beta: Small-cap aerospace & defense companies typically have unlevered betas of 0.7-1.0 per Damodaran’s industry tables.
Given FEIM’s tiny float, illiquidity, and niche positioning, using an industry beta (~0.85-1.0 unlevered) for the DCF is arguably more appropriate than the regression beta.
