Excel Template for DCF

I have saved up some money to invest and would like to learn how to make DCF analysis for companies to find undervalued stocks. I have been using the Rosenbaum's format and found it to be quite challenging to follow so if anyone has an excel template that I can use then I will highly appreciate it. Thanks!

Btw. are there programs that automatically compute DCF for you?I found this website (http://www.wikiwealth.com/discounted-cash-flow-analysis:amzn) but don't know if it's reliable.

Cheers

 

I'll be following this post to see if anything turns up. Interested to see what people post here, there hasn't been a post like this in a while.

The Rosenbaum DCF model is pretty tough, but it's one of the most reliable DCFs around, and you should really persist with learning it.

Once you master the DCF, you'll be able to analyse companies in no time, and begin to find undervalued companies everywhere.

Assuming your assumptions are correct.

And if you're finding undervalued companies everywhere, you're doing it wrong.

 

Haha. This thread is funny.

OP, the books come with templates. And if you don't like them, make ones you do, but honestly, all it is is an assumptions deck, FCFF lines, terminal value calc then discount those bad bois.

You might have known but just in case...

Google for: exinfm free_spreadsheets

That site has plenty of templates.

At the end of the day, Oreos has the best advice; build one for yourself if you are not satisfied with any of the templates out there

DCFs suck dude...something is only as valuable as the price that someone will pay for it

Always find this is tough for people to grasp until they work in the real world.

Real way to value a company - take Co's highest bid price, work backwards adjusting your valuation methodologies till VOILA! - you're price somehow is within 5% of the Co's target price.

 

I don't think its as simple as running a DCF for finding undervalued stocks...if that was the case, major long/short hedge funds wouldn't be so competitive to get into and banking wouldn't necessarily be a prerequisite to get into many of em.

OP, I really think you are underestimating how difficult it is to "correctly" or "accurately" price an equity until you've had formal training/have worked in an AM firm/HF/technical IB group

Just take one from Macabacus or see if you can find one from a similar website. No need to pay money for this man.

Normally I don't think the mods/admins take outside site promotion well, but this looks like an amazing (and free, if I'm not wrong) resource for our users. Best of luck, Mark!

A fruitless attempt. Financial models are strictly confidential. Each bank has slightly different "template" models and some banks even have different ways of getting WACC and etc. You aren't going to learn much from just looking at financial models. Just read up on accounting/finance stuff once again.
