Overview

What is a DCF Valuation?

A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model estimates the intrinsic value of a company by projecting its future free cash flows and discounting them back to present value. It's the most fundamental valuation methodology used in investment banking, equity research, and corporate finance.

Investment banking analysts build DCF models for every pitch book and fairness opinion. Equity research analysts use them to set price targets. Finance students use them to prepare for technical interviews where DCF is the most commonly tested topic.
