This was a tremendously helpful video! I have completed numerous DCF models, but when describing how to walk through a DCF I tend to run into the issue of going too far into the weeds. This helped simplify my thinking drastically.
I really enjoyed all the explanation you gave. Very simplified and insightful. I will.appreciate if you can through more ligjt in another video on the following: 1. Do a video on time period less than 1 year from the purchase date in discounting or calculating thr NPV 2. Calculate cost of equity for a private company, given Unlevered and levered beta of comparable companies. Thank you. Esther
Thanks so much. We have even deeper dives into this and walk me through an LBO in our Analyst Starter kit articles: finance-able.com/analyst-starter-kit/ definitely check these out when you have a sec @matt franks
As you said in the beginning the most common way is to calculate unlevered cfs. What changes would one need to do in case of levered cfs? Subtract intt amount from ebit?

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.
True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

I am not sure why we need to add cash back in step 5 as the enterprise value (Total Asset Value) already includes cash. It sort of violates the accounting equation of A = L + E. Please let me know if I am wrong. Thanks!

Hello ~ quick question: to get to unlevered FCF, would you add back other non cash expenses besides D+A such as goodwill amortization or stock comp? Thanks a ton!
What are your personal thoughts on WACC and whether or not it should be used? I have heard many investors completely disregard WACC and say its a useless discount rate.
We’ve set this up to be the cleanest answer. You could provide an interview and it’s work for thousands and thousands of people. Of course, there are always variations that you could come up with, but I think if you stick with this, you’ll be in a good spot
Hands down the clearest video I have seen on this topic. Well done 👏👏👏

So, the enterprise value is the sum of all the cash flows present and future?
That’s correct
EBIT is profit before tax then why we subtract (1-Tax) again while calculating FCFF ??
That allows us to capture the tax deduction from the depreciation expense (ie the depreciation, tax shield)
TOP! Thx!
This is amazing
Glad it was helpful!!
Great video. Thank you 👍

What are your personal thoughts on WACC and whether or not it should be used? I have heard many investors completely disregard WACC and say its a useless discount rate.
WACC is a super helpful conceptual framework, but it can result in false precision/confidence if taken at face value
Awesome video!
Thanks
nice!
Thank Y🐱u
shouldn't the step 3 be step 2? because step 2 requires 'r' (preptuity method) which is WACC which is being calculated in step 3
