The DCF method is the most commonly used method internationally to determine the value of a company. The calculation is based, on the one hand, on the future free cash flow that the company is expected to be able to generate and, on the other hand, on the interest rate expectations of potential investors. The DCF method also allows to estimate the enterprise value of young companies in the seed or start-up phase whose earnings expectations are still purely future-oriented. The DCF method also proves useful for companies with significant expansion plans that expect significant increases in earnings in the future.
