Any input on how to value/discount an NOL carryforward into perpetuity if there is a substantial NOL balance remaining at the end of the 5 year projection period? Everything I've read assumes the NOL balance is used up by the end of the projection period.
Thanks

Hmm...that's an interesting question. But, think about it - wouldn't it be weird for a company to have NOLs forever? Wouldn't that mean they never have positive net income? Regardless if FCFFs are positive, I don't think having 0 net income into perpetuity would make sense.
If you have a 100M NOL balance as of 2020 and have 10M NI for 2021-2025, I believe you pay taxes on 2M (80% rule) and are left with 60M NOL balance at the end of 2025 (100-(8*5)). Q is what to do with that 60M for the TV.
