Generation

Net present value (NPV) is a key metric that determines whether an investment will create value by calculating the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows. A positive NPV indicates the investment will generate more value than it costs, making it financially worthwhile to pursue. It's widely used in capital budgeting decisions to compare and prioritize investment opportunities.
