Decent overview of the workings of a DCF Model click here
Boxes that are highlighted in black throughout the spreadsheets are where users can plug in their own assumptions
Discounted cash flow (DCF) As the name implies, a companies future cash flows are discounted back to the present to derive a valuation for the company in
question. The DCF Model is certainly not a perfect valuation tool (as it is very difficult to predict what a company will grow its cash flows at), but it can provide
one estimate of value that, when combined with all the other components of a users research on a company, can help give an idea of what a company is
worth. The user should also keep in mind that the Intrinsic Value that is produced is only as good as the numbers put into the model. If you assume
unrealistic growth rates (or terminal value) you will get an unrealistic intrinsic value result. The investor should think of the Intrinsic Value figure given in this
light: you need to pay the price given, or lower, in order to achieve a given return (i.e. the discount rate) on your investment if your assumptions are correct.
Limitations of my excel DCF Models: You can only use 5 year time periods unless you modify the spreadsheet. I will continue to work on this issue.
Terminal Value: The PV of the all the companies future cash flows.
Terminal Value Growth Rate: The rate that you expect the company to indefinitely grow its cash flows by.
Discount Rate: The investors required rate of return. NOTE: (If your growth rate is higher than your discount rate, the model will not function properly)
Note: This is a beta copy and as such may have some bugs. If any are found please email [email protected] so they can be corrected.
