Learn how to spot undervalued stocks with the Discounted Cash Flow Valuation formula! Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) is a valuation metric used by investors to gauge the attractiveness of an investment opportunity. Most people accept that money loses value overtime, which is a particularly important consideration for value investors who buy and hold, long-term investors: it's a fact that next year's $100 will be worth less than this year's $100. The value investor will apply DCF analysis to projected cash flows (perhaps over 5 years or more) to arrive at the net current worth of those projected cash flows.
