Investment Bankers have DCFs templates that they modify for each deal?

Do investment bankers have Excel DCF templates that you can add/modify stuff depedning on the company to build a clean an orderly DCF? Or they always start from scratch with a blank spreadsheet? Same goes with PowerPoint presentations. As BBs always deal with big companies and sometimes the same industry I suppose they have their blueprints right?

Depends on the team/who’s actually doing the work. Templates are normally used for pretty much everything ppt related, and some analysts like to make models from scratch depending on complexity (more complex = greater need to create from scratch).
