How to value a stock with a DCF

A discounted cash flow (DCF) model estimates what a business is worth today based on the cash it should generate in the future. KineRuby fills in the company's latest revenue, free cash flow, share count and net debt from its SEC filings so you can focus on the assumptions.

  1. 1Load a ticker to pull revenue, free cash flow, diluted shares and net debt from the latest annual filing.
  2. 2Set revenue growth and free-cash-flow margin changes for each five-year phase.
  3. 3Choose a discount rate (WACC) and a terminal growth rate below long-run economic growth.
  4. 4Compare the intrinsic value per share with today's price, and stress-test it in the sensitivity table.

What is a DCF valuation?

A discounted cash flow valuation projects a company's future free cash flows and discounts them back to today at a required rate of return. The sum, minus net debt and divided by shares outstanding, gives an estimated intrinsic value per share.

What discount rate should I use?

Most analysts use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), typically between 7% and 12% for large U.S. companies. Higher-risk businesses deserve a higher rate, which lowers the valuation.

What is terminal growth?

Terminal growth is the rate cash flows grow forever after the forecast period. It should usually sit between 2% and 3%, close to long-run inflation and GDP growth; higher values can inflate the result dramatically.

Is a DCF accurate?

A DCF is only as good as its assumptions. Small changes to growth or the discount rate move the answer a lot, which is why KineRuby shows a sensitivity table — use it as a range, not a single precise number.
