This section introduces the concept of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, emphasizing its importance in determining a company’s intrinsic value2. It explains the difference between a stock’s price and its intrinsic value, highlighting the goal of value investors to identify undervalued stocks. The section also outlines the purpose of the lesson: to teach how to calculate intrinsic value using the DCF model, while noting that the information provided is for educational purposes and should be verified with a financial advisor.
This section delves into the DCF model, a method for calculating a company’s intrinsic value by discounting future cash flows to their present value. It highlights the importance of fundamental analysis before valuation, the advantages and limitations of the DCF model, and provides a simplified example to illustrate the process. The DCF model is particularly useful for companies with stable cash flows but requires careful assumptions and projections.
This section explains the 7 steps to calculate the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), including determining the discount rate, projecting free cash flows, and calculating the present value. It also delves into free cash flow, emphasizing its importance as a measure of profitability and how it is used to determine a company’s intrinsic value.
Learn how to determine the cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the cost of debt by analyzing interest expenses and tax rates. A practical example using Apple’s financial data to calculate its Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). Understand the importance of using conservative estimates for discount rates to ensure a margin of safety in your valuations.
This section explains how to estimate a company’s future free cash flows over a period of 5 to 10 years using a growth rate. It details the process of projecting these cash flows and discounting them to present value using a discount rate, ultimately helping to determine the company’s intrinsic value.
This section explains how to determine the present value of projected future cash flows using a discount rate. It involves converting future cash flows into today’s value to find the company’s intrinsic value. The process includes using the Net Present Value (NPV) formula and applying the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as the discount rate.
This section explains how to estimate a company’s future cash flows beyond the forecast period using the Gordon Growth Model or the Exit Multiple Model. It emphasizes the importance of using conservative growth rates, such as the GDP growth rate or inflation rate, to project the terminal value and then discount it to present value.
This section explains how to adjust the total cash flow by subtracting the company’s total debt and adding cash equivalents to determine the net value. It emphasizes the importance of these adjustments in calculating the company’s intrinsic value.
This section explains the final steps in determining a company’s intrinsic value using the DCF model. It covers summing up total cash flows, subtracting debt, adding cash, and dividing by the number of outstanding shares to find the intrinsic value per share. It also discusses comparing this intrinsic value with the current stock price to determine if the stock is overvalued or undervalued.
This section explains how to use an online DCF calculator to estimate a company’s intrinsic value. It highlights the importance of understanding the model’s assumptions and differences, and provides a step-by-step guide to inputting necessary financial data, such as free cash flow and discount rates, to calculate the intrinsic value per share.
