Alphatec Holdings shares have fallen 49.6% so far this year to $10.46, raising the question of whether the spinal surgery company's cash generation supports its valuation. Over the last twelve months, the company's free cash flow was about negative $35 million. Analysts expect it to turn positive and grow, with projections rising from the late 2020s onward. A two-stage discounted cash flow model based on those forecasts puts Alphatec's intrinsic value well above the current price. The headline estimate is that the stock is 48% undervalued. One community narrative on Simply Wall St is more cautious, putting the stock at 13% undervalued. It warns that cost pressures and lower-cost rivals could erode pricing power and margins.
