Introduction to Cash Flow Valuation Methods
Abstract
Provides an introduction to three cash flow valuation methods. The three methods differ in their measure of cash flows and the discount rate applied to those cash flows. The names for the three methods correspond to the type of cash flow that is used in the valuation: Equity Cash Flow (ECF), Capital Cash Flow (CCF), and Free Cash Flow (FCF). The three methods provide consistent valuations when applied correctly.
