Description of the dataset
- For valuation and corporate finance workflows, LSEG provides StarMine Weighted Average Cost of Capital as a robust estimate of a company’s cost of capital. Our analytics calculate the expected average rate paid to debt, equity and preferred stockholders, weighted in line with the company’s capital structure.
- LSEG enhances traditional WACC analysis by incorporating proprietary StarMine content and models, including StarMine Credit Risk and StarMine Equity Risk Premium analytics. We use these inputs to produce a more realistic view of financing costs across companies with different capital structures and risk profiles.
- Our methodology is designed to address situations where conventional WACC calculations can oversimplify or fail to reflect company-specific conditions. LSEG applies intelligent assumptions and model-driven adjustments to support more accurate valuation, discount rate selection and investment analysis.
- We deliver StarMine WACC as part of our broader quantitative analytics capabilities for investors, bankers, analysts and other financial professionals. Our cost of capital measures help clients strengthen discounted cash flow analysis, peer comparison, portfolio screening and risk assessment.
