“Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) vs Comparable Company Analysis in Valuations”
- Location: India
Valuation is a cornerstone of corporate finance, and two widely used methods—Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Comparable Company Analysis (CCA)—offer distinct perspectives on determining a company’s value.
The DCF method estimates intrinsic value by forecasting a company’s future cash flows and discounting them back to their present value using a discount rate, typically the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This approach reflects the company’s internal financial performance, growth potential, and risk profile, making it ideal for long-term investors who seek a fundamental view of value.
In contrast, Comparable Company Analysis relies on market data by comparing valuation multiples such as Price-to-Earnings (P/E) or EV/EBITDA ratios of similar companies. It provides a market-based benchmark that reflects investor sentiment and current market conditions.
While DCF delivers a more detailed, intrinsic assessment, it is highly sensitive to assumptions and forecasts. CCA, though quicker and easier to apply, may overlook unique company characteristics. In practice, analysts often use both methods together—DCF for intrinsic value and CCA for market validation—to arrive at a balanced and realistic valuation.
