Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a valuation method that estimates the value of an investment or business based on its expected future cash flows, discounted back to present value using a required rate of return. It is widely used by financial analysts, investment bankers, and corporate finance teams to assess whether an asset is over- or under-valued. The technique accounts for the time value of money, since a dollar received in the future is worth less than one received today.
