The Foundations of Free Cash Flows - Online

This module will discuss how to create a projection of free cash flows to use as the foundation of our DCF valuation. First, you'll learn how free cash flow differs from what you see on the cash flow statement. Then we'll start laying down the free cash flow foundation. We'll see that there are important factors that will determine which way our foundation comes out — whether it's firm, wobbly, flexible, or brittle. These are called value drivers and each has an impact on our free cash flow projections.
