TL;DR: Got frustrated with broken DCF calculators, so we built one using weighted regression growth analysis and exponential growth tapering.
**The Problem with Existing DCF Tools**
Most online DCF calculators are overly simplistic. They use linear growth assumptions, static WACC calculations, and don't properly handle transitions from high growth to terminal rates.
These tools offer no user control. You're stuck with whatever defaults the calculator uses, with no way to incorporate your own research or market views.
The methodology is completely opaque with no visibility into calculations or assumptions.
You get a single number with no component breakdown. It's impossible to understand if the result is reliable or how much weight to give it.
**What We've Built**
Sophisticated Growth Analysis: Uses weighted regression combining historical data with analyst estimates, automatic outlier detection, and confidence scoring.
Realistic Growth Transitions: Two-phase model with exponential tapering instead of unrealistic cliff effects.
Robust WACC: Automatic spread protection, proper beta unlevering/relevering, and dynamic risk-free rate adjustment.
Industry-Specific Models: Automatically switches to Dividend Discount Model (DDM) for banks and financial institutions, since traditional DCF doesn't work well for companies where "cash flow" is really lending capacity.
Interactive Controls: Users can adjust growth rates, discount rates, and other parameters in real-time.
Full Transparency: Complete visibility into calculations, assumptions, and data sources with expandable breakdowns.
**Questions for the community:**
Our platform is currently in beta, and we're actively seeking feedback from the value investing community:
\- What's your experience with DCF reliability?
\- How does your current calculator (or you) calculate growth? Simple historical average, analyst consensus, or something more sophisticated?
\- Does your current calculator (or you) calculate WACC?
\- Any suggestions for additional validation checks?
Happy to share code snippets or discuss specific implementation details if anyone's interested.
Thank you!
