How it works

This workflow builds a discounted cash flow model for the company: it projects forward revenue and free cash flow, applies a discount rate reflecting the stock's risk profile, and compares the resulting intrinsic value estimate against the current market price. It also runs a comparable-company check (multiples on similar businesses) as a sanity check against the DCF output, since a DCF alone is highly sensitive to its growth and discount-rate assumptions — the output shows both numbers side by side rather than collapsing them into one figure. Ticker, company name, market, and a projection-years horizon are the inputs; if you omit risk tolerance or investment amount, it assumes a moderate, $50,000, 3-5-year diversified profile rather than failing, and always returns exactly two candidate stocks with ROE, revenue growth, and debt-to-equity shown alongside the price target.
