Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) is a valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows. The core idea is that money available today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This principle, known as the time value of money, is fundamental to DCF analysis. Investors and financial analysts use DCF to determine if an investment is worthwhile by comparing the calculated present value of future cash flows to the current cost of the investment.
