The Discounted Cash Flow Model (DCF)

Equity Valuation and Sensitivity Analysis
Now that the operating cash flows have been discounted, this session shows the adjustments necessary for investments and other balance sheet items. The result will be a value to the equity holders, dividing by the number of shares; the class will jointly arrive at the price per share.
As an exercise, the class does a sensitivity analysis of the valuation using different assumptions.
Application of the DCF Model
Together, the class works an example of a high growth company.
