ABC Corp had sales of $375million in 2023 and you expect sales to grow at a 3% in 2024, 2% in 2025 and 1% in 2026.

The company has $35 million in cash, $7 million in debt, 15 million shares outstanding, Tax rate is 20% of EBIT and a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. What is your estimate of the value of the stock in January 2024?
