Are you looking to sharpen your valuation skills and explore how pros assess blue-chip companies like Microsoft?
I’ve built a full DCF valuation model based on Microsoft’s publicly available data—structured for learning, practice, and deeper insight into what drives real value in stock investments.
🧠 Why DCF Still Matters in 2024
Despite all the buzz around AI and quant trading, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) remains the most rigorous, fundamentals-based method to estimate a company’s intrinsic value.
But a DCF is only as good as the assumptions behind it. That’s why I’ve designed this model to highlight the key value drivers every investor or analyst must investigate:
🔍 Drivers You Should Analyze:
✅ Growth Drivers – Where’s future growth coming from? Cloud, AI, Gaming?
✅ Sales Drivers – Pricing power, subscriptions, enterprise deals
✅ Profitability – EBIT margins, operating leverage, scale effects
✅ Reinvestments – CapEx, R&D, acquisitions, intangibles
✅ Capital Efficiency – Return on capital, reinvestment rate
✅ HR & Organizational – Leadership, talent retention, structure
✅ Technology Edge – Product cycle, patents, innovation
✅ Lifecycle Stage – Is this early-growth or late-stable?
✅ Cost of Capital – Risk-free rates, beta, equity risk premium
📊 What’s Inside the Model?
This isn’t just a plug-n-play Excel file. I’ve embedded key valuation techniques used by professionals:
📌 Industry & Market Analysis
📌 Peer Benchmarks & Multiples
📌 Detailed Historical Financials (Revenue, EBIT, CapEx, FCF)
📌 Scenario Planning & Sensitivity
📌 Growth Assumptions with Justifications
📌 Checks & Diagnostics for every assumption
📌 IRR, Terminal Value, WACC, Reinvestment Rate, ROIC
You’ll be able to learn how real investment decisions are shaped—and what separates a bad model from a good one.
