DCF Valuation, Intrinsic Value and Target Prices

A DCF valuation estimates intrinsic value from forecast cash flows, discount rates, and terminal value. It is useful because it forces assumptions into the open.

What intrinsic value means

Intrinsic value is the modeled value implied by the assumptions. It is not a guarantee, and it should be read with the sensitivity grid, risk section, and peer context.

How target price connects to DCF

The target price can use the DCF as an anchor while also considering comparable valuation, business risk, and data freshness. The public notes keep those inputs visible.

Why upside/downside needs context

Upside or downside is simply the gap between target price and current market price. The important question is whether the assumptions behind that gap are reasonable and current.
