A reverse DCF (discounted cash flow) works backwards from the current stock price to find the growth rate the market expects. Instead of estimating what a stock should be worth, it reveals what assumptions are already priced in.

If the implied FCF growth rate looks too high compared to historical performance, the stock may be overpriced. If it looks achievable, that tells you the market is not asking for a miracle to justify the price.
