Tag: Discounted Cash Flow

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) is the process of determining the present value of a series of future cash flows. DCF is used by investors to assess the value of a company, as it takes into account not just the current profits of a business but also future projected cash flows. It is a useful tool for companies looking for a way to calculate the future value of their investments and to compare investments against each other for the best return on investment. DCF can be used with any type of financial asset and can be adjusted for risk or inflation. Further, by taking into account the opportunity cost of investing in a company or project, DCF can help identify projects with the highest return on investment.
