Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)


About Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)

A form of financial model known as discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation assesses the value of an investment based on projected future cash flows. A DCF model is predicated on the notion that a company's value is established by its ability to provide future cash flows for its owners.

Why is Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) important?

Investors may assess how much money goes into an investment, when that money is spent, how much money the investment generates, and when the investor can receive the proceeds from the investment by using discounted cash flow.

The use of accurate statistics and the fact that a discounted cash flow analysis is more objective than other ways of assessing an investment are its key benefits.
