About this project

DCF is the canonical valuation skill. This project teaches the full stack: free-cash-flow forecasting, WACC computation (with proper beta unlevering), terminal value selection (Gordon vs exit multiple), and the sensitivity discipline that catches bad assumptions. Pick a stable public company and produce a defensible valuation.

Why build this in 2026?

DCF interviews are still standard at IB, equity research, and PE shops. Most candidates fudge WACC; demonstrating real rigor is differentiated.
