  1. 1The idea of a DCFA business is worth the cash it will produce, adjusted for when it arrives and how risky it is. A DCF is that sentence turned into arithmetic.7 min
  2. 2Unlevered free cash flowProThe cash the business throws off before anyone who financed it gets paid. It starts at EBIT and adjusts for taxes, non cash charges, and reinvestment.9 min
  3. 3Cost of equity and CAPMProShareholders want a return for bearing risk. CAPM estimates how much, using the risk free rate, the stock's beta, and the extra return investors demand for owning stocks.8 min
  4. 4WACCProThe weighted average cost of capital blends what lenders and shareholders each require, weighted by how much of each the company uses. It is the rate for discounting unlevered free cash flow.9 min

  1. 5Terminal valueProThe forecast ends but the company does not. Terminal value captures every year after the forecast in one number, either with a perpetual growth rate or with an exit multiple.10 min
  2. 6Discounting and the walk to share priceProDiscount each year's cash flow and the terminal value, add them to get enterprise value, then bridge to equity value and divide by diluted shares.11 min
  3. 7Sensitivities and what moves the answerProA DCF is a range, not a number. Sensitivity tables show how far the answer moves when the two most uncertain inputs move.8 min
