Course overview
As both an analyst and educator, I strongly advocate for the use of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuations as a primary tool for appraising value. Yet, I am acutely aware of the potential shortcomings when wielded improperly, turning it into a flawed instrument.

Missteps in DCF can easily go unnoticed, embedding significant errors in valuation. To mitigate this risk, I have crafted the "DNA of a DCF" framework. This structured approach not only guides my interrogation process as I formulate investment theses but also helps in identifying and rectifying any discord between the narrative and the numbers. This framework is a fundamental aspect of my approach to investment analysis, ensuring the rigorous application of DCF.
