Course overview
Investment analysts examine a company's cash flows to gauge its financial health and valuation. Unlike earnings influenced by accounting practices, cash flows offer a clear picture of a firm's financial activities.

Analyzing these flows helps determine a company's ability to operate, pay debt, and provide shareholder value. This analysis is foundational for valuing a company, as future cash flows, when discounted, determine its intrinsic worth. In essence, understanding cash flows is central to accurate company valuation.

Let us take you thorough the process of cash flow building into the analysis.
