Is DCF vital to an ER report?

I'm doing a 6-slide Equity Research report on Boeing and was wondering I should include a DCF analysis report to it as well. Right now, I'm planning to do slides on stock pitch, company overview, swot analysis, comparables and technical analysis. The problem is that if I plan to include a DCF I would have to take out one of the above slides. Is DCF really vital? Should I include an entire slide for it? Ideas?

Who is your audience? A class of finance majors? An investor? This really depends on the audience.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

The audience is a couple of finance professors.

Also, a general question about buy-side ER - is more emphasis placed on technical analysis or fundamental analysis? I've a worked a great deal on the SWOT, which I think is the most important part. Is that correct?

Specifically about Boeing - I'm not a master in accounting, but does Boeing demand a ton of financial statement adjustments? If so, in what regard?

 

yup just do a simple DCF, should take two seconds

I would use some projections from equity research reports if you can get them. If not -- just be prudent in your projections

Don't worry about adjustments unless you're using previous years to project future growth. Basically you just have to scrub their statements for non-recurring charges, etc
