Standard Practice for Building a DCF when Company is Partway Through FY

Title says it all. I am trying to build a DCF to help with stock pitches so that I can land a role in ER.

I am currently looking at a company that has just reported Q3 earnings. Is it standard practice to only consider the most recent 10-K and forecast the current FY, or should I use TTM method to readjust the periods.
