About this course

Master the art and science of business valuation in DCF: Build, Apply, and Evaluate. This intermediate-to-advanced course is designed for finance professionals who aim to move beyond theory and build robust, defensible Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models from the ground up. You will learn to construct a dynamic, modular DCF template in Excel that can be reused across multiple projects, saving time and reducing errors. Through a series of expert-led videos, practical readings, and hands-on labs, you will dive deep into the core drivers of valuation: forecasting unlevered free cash flows, calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), and estimating terminal value. Using real-world case studies, such as the valuation of a high-growth tech firm like NVIDIA, you will learn to apply these concepts in complex scenarios. You will leave this course with a complete DCF model and the confidence to apply it to sophisticated investment appraisal and strategic financial decision-making.

What you will learn

  • Analyze future cash flows using the DCF methodology in Excel, incorporating WACC and terminal value to support informed investment decisions.
