ITW's  Free Cash Flows are expected to grow at a rate of 10% next year and then decline 1% per year in the next 7 years; then ITW's FCF will grow at a perpetual rate of 3%.  ITW's  weighted average cost of capital is 7.70%, it has $990M excess cash (short term investments) and market value of its debt is $8,000M. ITW has 300M outstanding shares.
