    DCF Analysis Conclusion

    Uploaded by

    DCF analysis estimates a company's current value based on projections of its future cash flows, which are discounted to present value. The tutorial demonstrated the basic DCF technique to value stocks, although analysts have different methods. While DCF analysis requires more work than metrics like P/E, it treats a company as a business rather than just stock prices and considers the factors influencing future performance. External resources on valuation techniques and case studies are recommended for further understanding DCF analysis.

    DCF Analysis: Conclusion 1

    DCF Analysis: Conclusion


    By Ben McClure
    Contact Ben

    As you have seen, DCF analysis tries to work out the value of a company today, based
    on projections of how much money it will generate in the future. The basic idea is that
    the value of any company is the sum of the cash flows that it produces in the future,
    discounted to the present at an appropriate rate.

    In this tutorial, we have shown you the basic technique used to generate fair values for
    the stocks that you follow. But keep in mind that this is just one approach to doing
    DCF analysis; every analyst has his or her own theories on how it should be done.

    Although manually working your way through all the numbers in DCF analysis can
    be a time-consuming and tricky process at times, it's not impossible. Yes, using a DCF
    model probably entails a lot more work than relying on traditional valuation measures
    such as the P/E ratio, but we hope this step-by-step guide has shown you that it is
    worth the effort.

    DCF analysis treats a company as a business rather than just a ticker symbol and a
    stock price, and it requires you to think through all the factors that will affect the
    company's performance. What DCF analysis really gives you is an appreciation for
    what drives stock values.

    Valuing Intel: A Strange Tale of Analysts And Announcements - Bradford Cornell,
