Overview
DCF ties intrinsic value to cash available after reinvestment (FCFF) or to equity cash (FCFE). You bridge revenue to cash, choose WACC consistent with risk, and cap the story with a terminal value via growth or exit multiples.Practical takeaway
Always publish sensitivity tables: ±1% moves in terminal growth or WACC often swing value more than a heroic revenue forecast.How this connects to Finvestopia
