You should also add a terminal growth rate after the 10years because a business doesn’t just die after 10 years (those having much smaller impact on the valuation but they still do).
Great video ! + Those who are wondering how to calculate discounted case flow. Here’s the formula: DCF= [CF/(1+r)^n] Where: CF = Cash Flow in the Period r = the interest rate or discount rate n = the period number
Hi. Thanks for the formula. I just have one question and I have no one to answer.. So we should sum all the DCFs and 10*FCF together, right? $306644 is the number but how can it be compare with the stock price? The stock price wouldn't certainly be like $200000, right? Thanks in advance.
I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next META in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’AILEEN GERTRUDE TIPPY” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

The stock market is a complex system that is influenced by a variety of factors, including economic indicators, political events, and global trends. The relationship between policies and the stock market can be complex and multifaceted, and it can take time for the full effects of policies to be reflected in market trends. Therefore, it is possible that policies implemented in the past may have a "lagged effect" on the stock market, as their full impact may not be felt until later on.
you're absolutely right, the stock market is a dynamic and constantly changing environment that can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including government policies. It is important to approach investing with a long-term perspective, also, understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional investment coach and to carefully consider the potential risks and rewards of any investment decision.

That’s probably as close to understanding intrinsic value as I’ve ever been. I appreciate your video that shows this. Things can be explained confusing or plain and simple. Thanks for the plain and simple.
Fantastic! I know it’s hard to make such a complex topic so simple. I think the one thing most investors miss when calculating intrinsic value, is that they look solely at the history to estimate growth in the future. The growth rate is very important, it arguably should take the most time in valuation. The past 10 years could be unusually good/bad due to acquisitions/dispositions affecting financials. Look to the future and make your best judgements! Thanks man, super helpful.

@@Alexiasarah when the stock value drops, don't pull out. All stocks fluctuate. When it drops, invest more - within reason so long as the business isn't a long term risk
6:34 just so people don't fuck up their numbers, the first row at $23579 should be looked at as a value at 115% i.e. already giving a 15% return in the first year. We then divide this value by 1.15 to bring the value back down to 100% to give us our discounted/true value. Then for each year following, you multiply the preceding discounted value by the rate of growth (which is 10% in this case) and then divide by 1.15 to give us the discounted/true cash flow value for each year. If you want the fast way to do this as well, divide the 10x value by 1.15^10 and you have the discounted value. Also note that you can change the discount depending on market conditions and the percentage return you think is suitable. 20% is probably a good figure to use right now.
This is hands down the best 15-min video describing intrinsic value and margin of safety. Excellent work. Please keep sharing this kind of knowledge. We need more Warren-Buffett, long-term investment education under these current market conditions. Thank you!
I find so much value in your videos. There is so much useless crap on the internet these days, so it's really great when you find some truly valuable content.
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
The safest approach I feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
@WilliamsJulians Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully, I can get some insight into where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend when I hear back from MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY.

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
This was fantastic, thanks so much. For the first time ever, I just calculated the margin of safety share price for a company I'm following and I can use this model for future analyses.
Brandon does a fine job of explaining the general concept of how this works. It is clear and easy to follow. Brandon’s videos, in general, are like this, and thus are a pleasure to watch. However, calculating the cash flows into their discounted versions would have been helpful, as I am totally new to value investing. In my efforts of trying to understand how to do this in a real-world scenario, I found that the most elusive figure of all is the actual discount rate (often referred to in formulas as ‘r’). How do you arrive at this figure?? Most websites/examples just say “let’s assume a discount rate of XX%”, but don’t explain the ingredients to determine it in the real world.
1 year later... Not sure if you're still curious, but I can help to provide some insight: To calculate an appropriate discount rate, you want to use a rate that reflects the opportunity cost of capital and the expected rate of return for the company/investment. When looking at a DCF, there are two primary formulas that are used to calculate the discount rate: the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and adjusted present value (APV) - I would definitely look into these terms to learn more about them. Hope this helps!
You can also use the current yearly free cash flow figure and check thr ratio of price/free cash flow... lets day the average p/fcf over the last 10 years is 20 ratio and the company makes 10bill in fre cash flow then it is 20x10 is 200bill and that is your number!

Great video man. I've been trying to understand how to determine if a company is overvalued, undervalued, or priced correctly for the last day or so and it just wasn't making sense until I watched this video. You broke down the concept and explained it really well with easy to understand visuals and the slickest hairdo on the net. Thank you for putting this one out at just the right time!
Thank you for providing the alternate names for the same things, such as explaining how "Total Capital Expenditures" is also found on the info sheet as "Payments for acquisition of property, plant, and equipment".

So thank you for flushing that out here, big LIKE.

Sup dude, just wanted to let you know that I recently discovered your channel and the quality of your videos is amazing. Many videos on investing seem to very quickly glance over stuff and the rest is all hype, bragging or purely speculation, but yours are always calm and in-depth so that they actually have great educational value. Keep doing what you're doing 🚀
The emphasis on margin of safety is key! The way I apply that in my own investing is buying stocks at a discount to their average PE ratio over five years, amongst other methods.
That was enlightening. I managed to apply it to a company on the stock market but of course, like most great companies, they are overpriced. Still an enjoyable exercise though. Can I ask why we take a 15% discount for the next 10 years and then also add a margin of safety afterwards? I understand there's inflation, which has been skyrocketing of late, but that's not the norm and even then it hasn't reached 15%. I completely understand that someone like me would need a margin of safety of at least 30-40%. But I didn't quite understand the 15% discount (I could work it out with the company I was researching but don't quite get why we're applying such a high discount). Thank you for one of the best videos I've ever seen on the stock market.
I was told to spread my money across different things like stocks and bonds to protect my $750k retirement savings. Now, with the markets being shaky, should I keep adding money to my portfolio or consider other options?
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
Thank you for the video Brandon! Would love to know your thoughts on position sizing as value investors. How much of our capital should we put per company?
Hi @Gerald Ong, from my own experience, I like to have 70-80% of my portfolio in less than 10 companies. So I never put more than 10% of my portfolio into any one stock. having a concentrated portfolio allows you to do a deep dive in to each company and really understand them. Hope this helps.
@@EarnMoreSpendLessInvesttheRest Thank you for the sharing! I've a few deep questions I wanted to ask actually. The worry I have as I become more experienced, I realized is that 'deep dive' is relative... my intensive research is usually subpar compared to professional analyst who dive very deep(e.g digging into earnings per sq foot per restaurant in Mcdonalds by geography) and hence why I am very concerned about taking big positions and taking on too much risk. I worry I might feel like I know a lot about a company, but in actuality know very little about compared to the insiders and what's actually on the ground. Also, even with a ~10 stock portfolio, I'm unsure of a good framework to determine how much of each (30% in your best company, then 10% in the next, 2% etc) Unless you put equal weightage in each company, which is counter-intuitive to the logic that I should put more money in places I have more convictions in no?

Tesla has always been a spec stock for me, but looking back to 2017 I reckon I did actually get it reasonably cheap (when you look at the 10-20 year plan). :)
Market cap / number of shares outstanding = stock price. Intrinsic value / number of shares outstanding = intrinsic price. Using the small store example, let's say you have 1000 shares for that store for investors to buy. The intrinsic value was $306,664. In this case, the stock would be trading at the intrinsic price if it cost ~$306/share. With a 20% margin of safety, you'd have a buy signal for the stock at $255 (306/1.2). Hope this helps.

Cracking vid! Does any else get frustrated that a companies numbers change from website to website. I never know which ones to trust and use for calculations.
Trying to test this out and I'm having trouble with the Discounted amount calculations. In the video, it doesn't look like the amount is being reduced by 15% each time. For example, 23,579 - 20,503 = 3076. 3076 / 23,579 = 0.13.
For a 16 minute run down on basic financial analysis, this video is great. I suggest a prospective investor would be wise to consider technology (e.g. digitalisation) impacts, competitive (disruptor) impacts, trends in consumer tastes, and business cycle (interest rate) impacts on future cash flows. These refinements may feel like speculation, but they undoubtedly affect your valuation. Today we are also necessarily speculating on the rate of emergence from pandemic business conditions.
Hi Brandon, my only issue with DFCf models is that it’s not very good at helping you predict long term or even short term gains. I find I would miss out on a lot of opportunities if I discount at 15% even if I use 0 margin of safety. A prime example would be Exxon Mobil. If you assume fcf is around 11 billion for next 10 years with 0 growth you wouldn’t buy Exxon till share price reached $25 or less. The truth though is Exxon was a bargain when price was in low 30s as evidenced by the huge come back in stock price towards $50. We are living in an era with 0 interest rates and unlimited growth of money supply. I don’t think the market would allow us to buy anything below it’s Intrinsic value. Everything is overpriced and we would be lucky to get anything even slightly above intrinsic value.
Thanks for the video, it was very informative. I don't seem to follow the calculations shown in this video. For instance, you took the free cash flow of $23,579 for the year 2021 and discounted it by 15%, and came up with $20,503. In contrast, when I subtract 15% from $23,579 (in an Excel workbook), I end up with $20,042. The same goes for the sum of the cash flows?
It just has to be to the second and third and fourth power as you go down one more line for the calculation to be correct which is not shown in the video. Second year has to be to the second power third year has to be to the third power and so on.
Hi Brandon, thank you for the video, the margin of safety concept is explained concisely and clearly. I have only one observation: at 14:40 you trace an orthogonal line between the 2 parallel lines of intrinsic value and margin of safety. I think that the line should be vertical, as that (even if expressed in % points) still refers to value, which is reported on the Y axis. Thanks again for your video. Best, Nicola
Thks for the clear explanation. I guess books has it but explained technically. Th4 appreciate his effort and time to set up this video to explain the concepts simply and provides clear understanding. No right or wrong but we are all wired differently.
Understanding intrinsic value requires some skill. By looking beyond just the stock price and evaluating fundamentals like earnings, growth, and risk, you can identify the true worth of a company. Buffett is one of the best due to his outstanding track record.

Lol this comment is P/B= 0.2
What's the margin of safety would you give. 30 or 50 percent or more?
Discount Equation for those asking. CF / (1 + R) to power of N
Cf = Cash Flow
R = Discount Rate
N = Number of years.
Do you mean multiply by N, the power of is very different
@Ryan Tibbo I got you, thanks
Dude can you tell me which book taught you this? And are there any other financial tools used by investors? 😄
Thanks for this...was trying to wrap my head around the discounted values.
I hated when teachers gave us bare formulas in school and university. And I hate it now. And I hate this comment :)
I understand it perfectly and I can derive it and know why there is plus, division and power, but for the newbies it looks like black magic. Maybe some people now think that value investing is not for them, because they are too stupid to understand these formulas.
Been looking for this for months. Finally, someone who talks in a language people can understand. Thanks!
That’s probably as close to understanding intrinsic value as I’ve ever been. I appreciate your video that shows this. Things can be explained confusing or plain and simple. Thanks for the plain and simple.
Fantastic! I know it’s hard to make such a complex topic so simple. I think the one thing most investors miss when calculating intrinsic value, is that they look solely at the history to estimate growth in the future. The growth rate is very important, it arguably should take the most time in valuation. The past 10 years could be unusually good/bad due to acquisitions/dispositions affecting financials. Look to the future and make your best judgements! Thanks man, super helpful.
I'm literally calculating this for a company right now and immediately realized the growth rate is where I'm held up. Thanks for bringing this up.
I was planning on researching this tonight ! Thank you perfect timing.
Haha perfect timing indeed!

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 75K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a Fin-Advisor) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities.
A good starting point is the book "One up on the Wall Street"
Invest in a mutual fund or ETF in the beginning and diversify your portfolio to minimize risks.
@@Alexiasarah when the stock value drops, don't pull out. All stocks fluctuate. When it drops, invest more - within reason so long as the business isn't a long term risk
Learn as much as you can, get good at it, be carefull, it will take time, baby steps but NEVER delegate you money management! My 2 cents.
Literally been spending all my free time trying to understand this. Great stuff.
@@REALVINERGY we’ll see in 10 years
6:34 just so people don't fuck up their numbers, the first row at $23579 should be looked at as a value at 115% i.e. already giving a 15% return in the first year. We then divide this value by 1.15 to bring the value back down to 100% to give us our discounted/true value. Then for each year following, you multiply the preceding discounted value by the rate of growth (which is 10% in this case) and then divide by 1.15 to give us the discounted/true cash flow value for each year.
If you want the fast way to do this as well, divide the 10x value by 1.15^10 and you have the discounted value. Also note that you can change the discount depending on market conditions and the percentage return you think is suitable. 20% is probably a good figure to use right now.
This is hands down the best 15-min video describing intrinsic value and margin of safety. Excellent work. Please keep sharing this kind of knowledge. We need more Warren-Buffett, long-term investment education under these current market conditions. Thank you!
I find so much value in your videos. There is so much useless crap on the internet these days, so it's really great when you find some truly valuable content.
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
The safest approach I feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

This was fantastic, thanks so much. For the first time ever, I just calculated the margin of safety share price for a company I'm following and I can use this model for future analyses.
Brandon does a fine job of explaining the general concept of how this works. It is clear and easy to follow. Brandon’s videos, in general, are like this, and thus are a pleasure to watch. However, calculating the cash flows into their discounted versions would have been helpful, as I am totally new to value investing.
In my efforts of trying to understand how to do this in a real-world scenario, I found that the most elusive figure of all is the actual discount rate (often referred to in formulas as ‘r’). How do you arrive at this figure?? Most websites/examples just say “let’s assume a discount rate of XX%”, but don’t explain the ingredients to determine it in the real world.
1 year later... Not sure if you're still curious, but I can help to provide some insight: To calculate an appropriate discount rate, you want to use a rate that reflects the opportunity cost of capital and the expected rate of return for the company/investment. When looking at a DCF, there are two primary formulas that are used to calculate the discount rate: the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and adjusted present value (APV) - I would definitely look into these terms to learn more about them. Hope this helps!
You can also use the current yearly free cash flow figure and check thr ratio of price/free cash flow... lets day the average p/fcf over the last 10 years is 20 ratio and the company makes 10bill in fre cash flow then it is 20x10 is 200bill and that is your number!
Simple to understand - Thank you so much.

Really nice overview mate - Super clear & concise from start to finish 👏
The emphasis on margin of safety is key! The way I apply that in my own investing is buying stocks at a discount to their average PE ratio over five years, amongst other methods.
More of these kind of videos please!
That was enlightening. I managed to apply it to a company on the stock market but of course, like most great companies, they are overpriced. Still an enjoyable exercise though. Can I ask why we take a 15% discount for the next 10 years and then also add a margin of safety afterwards? I understand there's inflation, which has been skyrocketing of late, but that's not the norm and even then it hasn't reached 15%. I completely understand that someone like me would need a margin of safety of at least 30-40%. But I didn't quite understand the 15% discount (I could work it out with the company I was researching but don't quite get why we're applying such a high discount).
Thank you for one of the best videos I've ever seen on the stock market.
I was told to spread my money across different things like stocks and bonds to protect my $750k retirement savings. Now, with the markets being shaky, should I keep adding money to my portfolio or consider other options?
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?
Finally understood the method. valuable content. Thank you
Thank you for the video Brandon! Would love to know your thoughts on position sizing as value investors. How much of our capital should we put per company?
Hi @Gerald Ong, from my own experience, I like to have 70-80% of my portfolio in less than 10 companies. So I never put more than 10% of my portfolio into any one stock. having a concentrated portfolio allows you to do a deep dive in to each company and really understand them. Hope this helps.
@@EarnMoreSpendLessInvesttheRest Thank you for the sharing! I've a few deep questions I wanted to ask actually.
The worry I have as I become more experienced, I realized is that 'deep dive' is relative... my intensive research is usually subpar compared to professional analyst who dive very deep(e.g digging into earnings per sq foot per restaurant in Mcdonalds by geography) and hence why I am very concerned about taking big positions and taking on too much risk. I worry I might feel like I know a lot about a company, but in actuality know very little about compared to the insiders and what's actually on the ground.
Also, even with a ~10 stock portfolio, I'm unsure of a good framework to determine how much of each (30% in your best company, then 10% in the next, 2% etc) Unless you put equal weightage in each company, which is counter-intuitive to the logic that I should put more money in places I have more convictions in no?

This is a world class explanation of this 👏
Great walk-through! Would have been good to connect the intrinsic value back to the stock price to see how you select the right price to buy at.
that would have been great
I was wondering about the same! how does the value of the company translates into the stock price.
Market cap / number of shares outstanding = stock price.
Intrinsic value / number of shares outstanding = intrinsic price.
Using the small store example, let's say you have 1000 shares for that store for investors to buy. The intrinsic value was $306,664. In this case, the stock would be trading at the intrinsic price if it cost ~$306/share.
With a 20% margin of safety, you'd have a buy signal for the stock at $255 (306/1.2).
Hope this helps.

Trying to test this out and I'm having trouble with the Discounted amount calculations. In the video, it doesn't look like the amount is being reduced by 15% each time. For example, 23,579 - 20,503 = 3076. 3076 / 23,579 = 0.13.

Fantastic video, intrinsic value and margin of safety are so well explained. Thank you, I learned a lot by watching!
For a 16 minute run down on basic financial analysis, this video is great.
I suggest a prospective investor would be wise to consider technology (e.g. digitalisation) impacts, competitive (disruptor) impacts, trends in consumer tastes, and business cycle (interest rate) impacts on future cash flows. These refinements may feel like speculation, but they undoubtedly affect your valuation. Today we are also necessarily speculating on the rate of emergence from pandemic business conditions.
Intrinsic value investing demystified, great presentation.
Hi Brandon, my only issue with DFCf models is that it’s not very good at helping you predict long term or even short term gains.
I find I would miss out on a lot of opportunities if I discount at 15% even if I use 0 margin of safety.
A prime example would be Exxon Mobil. If you assume fcf is around 11 billion for next 10 years with 0 growth you wouldn’t buy Exxon till share price reached $25 or less.
The truth though is Exxon was a bargain when price was in low 30s as evidenced by the huge come back in stock price towards $50.
We are living in an era with 0 interest rates and unlimited growth of money supply. I don’t think the market would allow us to buy anything below it’s Intrinsic value.
Everything is overpriced and we would be lucky to get anything even slightly above intrinsic value.
Yikes
Turns out the market really was overpriced and now we might be able to find real 'margin of safety' stocks below intrinsic value!
A ton of intrinsic value in this video! I bought 1 share by hitting like!
By far the best explanation on 'margin of safety'. Overall good explanation!
I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS MAN. HE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH !
Thanks for the video, it was very informative. I don't seem to follow the calculations shown in this video. For instance, you took the free cash flow of $23,579 for the year 2021 and discounted it by 15%, and came up with $20,503. In contrast, when I subtract 15% from $23,579 (in an Excel workbook), I end up with $20,042. The same goes for the sum of the cash flows?
Found the answer in the comment section. DCF = CF/(1+r)^n where CF is the Cashflow, r the discount rate and n the number of years. Hope it helps.
@@obelix247 👍 thanks

Hi Brandon, thank you for the video, the margin of safety concept is explained concisely and clearly. I have only one observation: at 14:40 you trace an orthogonal line between the 2 parallel lines of intrinsic value and margin of safety. I think that the line should be vertical, as that (even if expressed in % points) still refers to value, which is reported on the Y axis. Thanks again for your video. Best, Nicola

Understanding intrinsic value requires some skill. By looking beyond just the stock price and evaluating fundamentals like earnings, growth, and risk, you can identify the true worth of a company. Buffett is one of the best due to his outstanding track record.
But how du you calculate a business with a highly inconsistent cash flow growth rate ??
