Hello everyone - hoping to get some insight from someone more experienced. When building out a DCF over a 10 year period, how do you forecast FCF? I only have a 3 statement model going out 3 years and wasn't sure if It made sense forecasting out the 3 statements all the way down to 10 years - looking for advice on how it's done in the industry (vs a more theoretical approach that some professors take)

Hi there, I am on the same boat as you. I am trying to build a dcf for CAVA which only has 3 years of financial data; I was wondering if you ever found the answer. I would really like to hear what type of information you gatherd>
