Learn how the valuations work

Why discounted cash flow, how StockValuer runs it end to end, and what every figure means. No terminal required.

Why the price and the value disagree

When our estimate and the market differ, the useful question isn't who's right — it's what the price must be assuming, and whether that's plausible.

What is a DCF, and why we use it

A discounted cash flow values a company by the cash it can generate — not by sentiment or a multiple. Here's the idea in plain language.

Frequently asked questions

What is intrinsic value?
Intrinsic value is an estimate of what a company is fundamentally worth based on the cash it can generate in the future, independent of its current market price. StockValuer computes it per share with a discounted cash flow (DCF) model.
What is a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation?
A DCF projects a company's future free cash flows and discounts them back to today using a rate that reflects their risk (the WACC). The sum of those discounted cash flows is the business's intrinsic value.
How does StockValuer value a stock?
It pulls a company's financials from SEC filings, researches the judgment inputs — growth, margins, tax, and terminal rate — with sources and citations, computes a discount rate from CAPM/WACC, and runs bear, base, and bull DCFs you can inspect and edit.
What is margin of safety?
Margin of safety is how far a stock's market price sits below its intrinsic value — the buffer that protects you if your assumptions turn out to be optimistic.
Is StockValuer financial advice?
No. StockValuer is an educational analysis tool. Nothing it produces is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
