Can I calculate IRR like this?

Can I just take current stock price (and make it a negative number) and terminal stock price...and calculate IRR with just these two figures?

To get terminal stock price, I would project FCF at terminal year and multiply it by X multiple

Do I need to discount this terminal FCF number before I calculate the IRR?
