RingCentral
RingCentral's revenue rose 4.8% to $2.5 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 4.8%, up from 0.1% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $587 million, up 28.2%. It paid out $334 million in dividends and buybacks, 57% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 1.0%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

Valuation
Two ways to value RingCentral yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What RingCentral says to expect
- Full year 2026: free cash flow
Raising free cash flow guidance of $620 to $630 million.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from RingCentral's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from RingCentral's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $587M, net cash of −$1.1B at December 31, 2025 and 91 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to RingCentral: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 8.1% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 11%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Application Software), plus 1 point as a smaller company, worth $7.6B, plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2024); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

- Everything after year 10, valued today
- —
- Plus net cash
- —
- Share of value from after year 10
How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from RingCentral's earnings per share of $7.56 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 21×, the middle of RingCentral's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (its peers' median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 12%, 11% and 10%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
