The first section of our Discounted Cash Flow Valuation course starts by providing context about the two variables that determine a company’s value in the long run: revenue growth and profitability. Then the lessons focus on the mechanics of Unlevered Free Cash Flow calculation and the appropriate discount to be used when discounting UFCF: Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).
