How to use

- 2For the DCF, enter current free cash flow, growth for the next 5 years, a terminal growth rate and your discount rate.
How it's calculated
Market cap = price × shares. P/E = price ÷ EPS. DCF: free cash flow grows for 5 years; terminal value = FCF₅ × (1 + g) ÷ (r − g); all discounted at r. Equity value = enterprise value − net debt; ÷ shares = intrinsic value.
Frequently asked questions
What discount rate should I use?
Many analysts use 8–10% for large, stable companies — roughly the expected market return. Riskier companies deserve higher rates.
Why is the DCF so sensitive?
Most of the value usually sits in the terminal value, so small changes in growth or discount rate swing the result a lot. Try a few scenarios.
What's a good P/E?
It varies by industry and growth. The S&P 500's long-run average P/E is roughly 15–17.
