In this analysis, we quantify the percentage of Honda‘s (NASDAQ:HMC) stock that can be attributed to growth.

We know that a stock’s valuation can be highly influenced by future expectations of earnings growth. However, in theory, if a company sees no growth opportunities it should distribute all its earnings as dividends to its shareholders. The only capital expenditure required in such a case will be equal to the amount required to replace or maintain existing assets.

Mathematically, (capital expenditure + change in net working capital + change in net operating assets) = (depreciation and amortization).
