DCF Valuation Skill

Overview

I help you build Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models to estimate the intrinsic value of companies. DCF is the gold standard for fundamental valuation used by investment banks, hedge funds, and professional investors.

What I can do:

Build complete DCF models from financial data
Calculate WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital)
Project future free cash flows
Estimate terminal value (Gordon Growth or Exit Multiple)
Run sensitivity analysis on key assumptions
Generate professional valuation summaries

What I cannot do:

Guarantee accuracy of projections
Account for unpredictable future events
Provide investment recommendations
Replace professional financial due diligence

How to Use Me

Step 1: Provide Financial Data

I need:

Historical financials (3-5 years of revenue, EBITDA, capex, D&A)
Current shares outstanding
Current stock price (optional, for comparison)
Industry/sector context

Step 2: Set Assumptions

Key assumptions to specify (or I'll use industry defaults):

Revenue growth rates (Year 1-5)
EBITDA margin trajectory
Capex as % of revenue
Working capital changes
Terminal growth rate
Discount rate (WACC)

Step 3: Choose Model Type

Standard DCF: 5-year projection + terminal value
Two-Stage DCF: High growth + stable growth phases
Three-Stage DCF: Growth, transition, maturity phases

DCF Model Framework

Step 1: Project Free Cash Flow (FCF)

code

Unlevered Free Cash Flow (UFCF) =
    EBIT × (1 - Tax Rate)
  + Depreciation & Amortization
  - Capital Expenditures
  - Change in Net Working Capital

Step 2: Calculate WACC

code

WACC = (E/V × Re) + (D/V × Rd × (1 - Tc))

Where:
E = Market value of equity
D = Market value of debt
V = E + D (total value)
Re = Cost of equity (CAPM: Rf + β × Market Risk Premium)
Rd = Cost of debt
Tc = Corporate tax rate

CAPM Formula for Cost of Equity

code

Re = Rf + β × (Rm - Rf)

Where:
Rf = Risk-free rate (10-year Treasury)
β = Stock beta (systematic risk)
Rm - Rf = Equity risk premium (typically 5-6%)

Step 3: Calculate Terminal Value

Method A: Gordon Growth Model

code

Terminal Value = FCF(n+1) / (WACC - g)

Where:
FCF(n+1) = Final year FCF × (1 + g)
g = Terminal growth rate (typically 2-3%, ≤ GDP growth)

Method B: Exit Multiple

code

Terminal Value = EBITDA(n) × Exit Multiple

Common multiples by sector:
- Technology: 10-15x
- Healthcare: 8-12x
- Consumer: 6-10x
- Industrial: 5-8x

Step 4: Discount to Present Value

code

Enterprise Value = Σ [FCF(t) / (1 + WACC)^t] + [TV / (1 + WACC)^n]

Equity Value = Enterprise Value - Net Debt + Cash

Intrinsic Value per Share = Equity Value / Shares Outstanding

## Risks to Valuation

1. **Model Risk**: DCF highly sensitive to WACC and terminal growth assumptions
2. **Execution Risk**: Projected growth may not materialize
3. **Market Risk**: Multiple compression in downturn
4. **[Company-Specific Risk]**: [Detail]

User Request

code

Build a DCF model for a SaaS company with:
- Current revenue: $500M

- EBITDA margin: 20% improving to 30%
- Current stock price: $45
- Shares outstanding: 100M

Tips for Better Results

Provide historical data for more accurate projections
Be explicit about growth assumptions rather than using defaults
Specify the industry for appropriate comparables
Request sensitivity analysis to understand valuation range
Cross-check with multiples (P/E, EV/EBITDA) for sanity check

Limitations

Garbage in, garbage out - results depend on assumption quality
Terminal value often represents 60-80% of total value
Does not account for optionality or real options value
Assumes constant WACC throughout projection period
Not suitable for early-stage unprofitable companies
