Monte Carlo DCF Model

Run thousands of DCF simulations with randomized growth, margins, and discount rates to produce a probability distribution of fair values instead of a single point estimate.

Overview

What is a Monte Carlo DCF?

A Monte Carlo DCF combines traditional discounted cash flow analysis with probability distributions. Instead of a single point estimate, it runs thousands of simulations with randomized inputs to produce a distribution of possible fair values — giving you a probability-weighted view of intrinsic value.

Quantitative analysts and risk managers use Monte Carlo simulation to stress-test valuations. PE firms use it to model downside scenarios. Advanced students use it to stand out in interviews by demonstrating probabilistic thinking.
