Generation

Discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation determines a company's intrinsic value by calculating the present value of its expected future cash flows, accounting for the time value of money. It provides a fundamental, theory-based approach to valuation that is independent of market sentiment and comparable company metrics. DCF is widely used in investment decisions, M&A transactions, and corporate finance because it directly links value to a company's ability to generate cash.
