# Discounted Cash Flow Valuation **Definition:** DCF valuation calculates a company's intrinsic value by projecting its future free cash flows and discounting them back to present value using a discount rate (typically the weighted average cost of capital). **Why it matters:** DCF is fundamental because it values a business based on its actual ability to generate cash rather than market sentiment or comparable company multiples. It forces investors to make explicit assumptions about growth, profitability, and risk, revealing whether a stock is truly worth more or less than its current price regardless of market conditions.
