Composite Cost of Capital

Trading Term

Composite cost of capital is the combined return required by a company’s lenders and equity investors. It reflects the overall cost of financing the business rather than one individual source of capital.

Analysts may use this rate when discounting projected company cash flows. The calculation depends on assumptions involving financing weights, borrowing costs, taxes, equity risk, and the company’s target capital structure.
