Your investigation

Match the claim and required return, expose the cost of growth, challenge a low-P/E shortcut, and save a valuation range to your plan.

OPS Guide

Price is a quote you can read today. Value is an estimate you have to build. Learn the four inputs that move it before you touch a formula.

Read the four valuation inputs, then predict what a higher required return does to value.
Stage 1 of 7 · Frame

Price is observed. Value is investigated.

Definition · Intrinsic value
An estimate of what an asset’s cash flows are worth when the growth and risk assumptions are stated consistently.
Price

The quote available in the market now. It can move before the underlying business changes.

Value range

A set of defensible outcomes caused by uncertain cash flow, growth quality, and required return.

01

Cash flow

What existing assets produce after the spending needed to sustain them.

Higher durable cash flow raises value.

02

Growth

Future cash-flow change from new investment or better use of existing assets.

Growth needs capital; it is not free.

03

Competitive period

How long returns above the required return can persist before maturity.

A durable advantage extends value-creating growth.

04

Required return

Compensation for time and risk, used to discount future cash flow.

More risk raises the hurdle and pulls value down.

Try itCause and effect

Investors suddenly require a higher return. Cash flow and growth are unchanged. What happens to the estimated value?

Read the four valuation inputs, then predict what a higher required return does to value.
