version: "1.0.1" name: company-valuation description: > Estimate the intrinsic value of a public company using DCF, relative (peer multiple) and sum-of-parts (SOTP) methods, then triangulate to an implied share price with upside/downside versus the current market price. Use this skill whenever the user asks: "what is AAPL worth", "valuation of NVDA", "fair value of TSLA", "intrinsic value", "DCF for MSFT", "build a DCF", "discounted cash flow", "WACC", "terminal value", "implied share price", "upside to fair value", "is X overvalued/undervalued", "relative valuation", "peer comparison valuation", "EV/EBITDA target", "SOTP", "sum of the parts", "how much is [company] worth", "price target from fundamentals", "value this company", or any ticker in the context of computing intrinsic or relative valuation. Default to running ALL three methods (DCF + relative + SOTP-if-applicable) and presenting a blended implied price with a sensitivity table. Do not answer valuation questions from memory — always run the workflow.

Company Valuation

Triangulates intrinsic value via three methods, then blends them to an implied share price:

1. DCF — 5-year FCFF projection, discount at WACC, terminal value.
2. Relative — apply peer median P/E, EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA.
3. SOTP — when 2+ distinct reporting segments exist, value each at pure-play peer multiples.

Always present a WACC × terminal-growth sensitivity table and Bull/Base/Bear scenarios.

Disclaimer: Research/educational output. Not financial advice.

Step 1: Detection Flow

Detect data source and runtime deps. The skill supports 3 method paths — pick the richest one available.

Environment status:

!`python3 -c "exec('try:\n import yfinance, numpy, pandas\n print(\'YFIN_OK\')\nexcept Exception:\n print(\'YFIN_MISSING\')')"`

!`(command -v funda && funda --version) 2>/dev/null || echo "FUNDA_CLI_MISSING"`

!`python3 -c "exec('try:\n import yfinance as yf\n t=yf.Ticker(\'^TNX\')\n p=t.fast_info.last_price\n print(f\'RF_10Y={p/100:.4f}\')\nexcept Exception:\n print(\'RF_FETCH_FAIL\')')"`

Decision tree:

If RF_10Y= printed, use that value as rf in Step 4d instead of the hardcoded 4.5%.

Step 2: Choose Methods & Set Defaults

Method applicability

Defaults table

Every parameter below MUST have a value before moving to Step 3. Use these unless the user overrides.

See references/wacc_erp_rates.md for current risk-free rates, ERP tables, and sector WACC benchmarks.

Step 3: Pull Data

import yfinance as yf
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
TICKER = "AAPL"  # replace
t = yf.Ticker(TICKER)
info       = t.info
income_a   = t.income_stmt
cashflow_a = t.cashflow
balance_a  = t.balance_sheet
income_q   = t.quarterly_income_stmt
cashflow_q = t.quarterly_cashflow
earnings_est = t.earnings_estimate
revenue_est  = t.revenue_estimate
price       = info.get("currentPrice") or info.get("regularMarketPrice")
market_cap  = info.get("marketCap")
shares_out  = info.get("sharesOutstanding")
total_debt  = info.get("totalDebt") or 0
cash        = info.get("totalCash") or 0
beta        = info.get("beta") or 1.0
sector      = info.get("sector")
industry    = info.get("industry")

Step 4: DCF Build

Full methodology + industry-specific tweaks in references/dcf.md. Quick skeleton:

# 4a. Revenue growth path — fade from Y1 (consensus or hist CAGR) to terminal g
hist_cagr = (rev[-1] / rev[0]) ** (1 / (len(rev)-1)) - 1
y1 = float(revenue_est.loc["+1y", "growth"]) if "+1y" in revenue_est.index else hist_cagr
g_terminal = 0.025
growth_path = np.linspace(y1, g_terminal + 0.01, 5)
# 4b. Margins — 3y median
ebit_margin = float((income_a.loc["Operating Income"] / income_a.loc["Total Revenue"]).iloc[:3].median())
da_pct      = float((cashflow_a.loc["Depreciation And Amortization"] / income_a.loc["Total Revenue"]).iloc[:3].median())
capex_pct   = float((cashflow_a.loc["Capital Expenditure"].abs() / income_a.loc["Total Revenue"]).iloc[:3].median())
nwc_pct     = float((cashflow_a.loc["Change In Working Capital"].abs() / income_a.loc["Total Revenue"]).iloc[:3].median())
tax_rate    = max(0.15, min(0.30, 0.21))  # use effective if available
# 4c. FCFF per year
rev_t = [float(income_a.loc["Total Revenue"].iloc[0])]
fcff  = []
for g in growth_path:
    rev_t.append(rev_t[-1] * (1 + g))
    ebit = rev_t[-1] * ebit_margin
    nopat = ebit * (1 - tax_rate)
    fcff.append(nopat + rev_t[-1]*da_pct - rev_t[-1]*capex_pct - rev_t[-1]*nwc_pct)
# 4d. WACC
rf, erp, kd = 0.045, 0.055, 0.055  # override rf with live value from Step 1
ke = rf + beta * erp
e_v = market_cap / (market_cap + total_debt)
d_v = 1 - e_v
wacc = e_v*ke + d_v*kd*(1 - tax_rate)
# 4e. Terminal value — compute both, use midpoint
tv_gordon = fcff[-1] * (1 + g_terminal) / (wacc - g_terminal)
tv_exit   = (rev_t[-1] * ebit_margin + rev_t[-1] * da_pct) * 15  # peer median EV/EBITDA
tv_base   = 0.5 * (tv_gordon + tv_exit)
# 4f. Bridge to equity
pv_fcff = sum(f / (1+wacc)**(i+1) for i, f in enumerate(fcff))
pv_tv   = tv_base / (1+wacc)**5
ev      = pv_fcff + pv_tv
equity  = ev + cash - total_debt
implied_price_dcf = equity / shares_out

Gates: (a) if wacc <= g_terminal → stop, g too aggressive; (b) if pv_tv / ev > 0.85 or < 0.45 → flag and show both TV methods; (c) if wacc is outside the sector sanity band in references/wacc_erp_rates.md → note.

Step 5: Relative Valuation

Select 4-6 peers. Peer map and adjustment rules in references/relative_valuation.md.

PEERS = ["MSFT", "ORCL", "CRM", "NOW", "SAP", "WDAY"]  # pick by industry
multiples = {}
for p in PEERS:
    pi = yf.Ticker(p).info
    multiples[p] = {
        "pe_fwd": pi.get("forwardPE"),
        "ev_rev": pi.get("enterpriseToRevenue"),
        "ev_ebitda": pi.get("enterpriseToEbitda"),
        "ps": pi.get("priceToSalesTrailing12Months"),
    }
med_pe     = np.nanmedian([v["pe_fwd"] for v in multiples.values()])
med_ev_rev = np.nanmedian([v["ev_rev"] for v in multiples.values()])
med_ev_eb  = np.nanmedian([v["ev_ebitda"] for v in multiples.values()])
eps_ttm    = float(income_q.loc["Diluted EPS"].iloc[:4].sum())
rev_ttm    = float(income_q.loc["Total Revenue"].iloc[:4].sum())
ebitda_ttm = float(income_q.loc["EBIT"].iloc[:4].sum()) + float(cashflow_q.loc["Depreciation And Amortization"].iloc[:4].sum())
net_debt   = total_debt - cash
implied_pe       = med_pe * eps_ttm
implied_ev_rev   = (med_ev_rev * rev_ttm - net_debt) / shares_out
implied_ev_ebit  = (med_ev_eb  * ebitda_ttm - net_debt) / shares_out
implied_price_rel = np.nanmedian([implied_pe, implied_ev_rev, implied_ev_ebit])

Adjust peer median ±10-30% if target's growth or margin profile diverges materially. Always state the adjustment and reason. Rule of 40 anchor for SaaS in references/relative_valuation.md.

Step 6: SOTP (multi-segment only)

Skip unless the 10-K reports 2+ operating segments with distinct economics. yfinance does NOT expose segment data — user must supply or parse from filings. Full methodology in references/sotp.md:

• Identify segments + pure-play peer for each
• Apply peer median EV/EBITDA (or EV/Rev for growth segments)
• Subtract unallocated corporate costs (cap 2-5% of revenue if unknown)
• Subtract net debt, minority interest; divide by shares

SOTP discount = (SOTP price − market price) / SOTP price. Flag if >20% (conglomerate discount).

Step 7: Triangulate, Sensitivity, Scenarios

# Blended implied price
if sotp_price is None:
    blended = 0.5*implied_price_dcf + 0.5*implied_price_rel
else:
    blended = 0.4*implied_price_dcf + 0.3*implied_price_rel + 0.3*sotp_price
# 5x5 sensitivity grid
wacc_grid = [wacc + dx for dx in (-0.01, -0.005, 0, 0.005, 0.01)]
g_grid    = [0.015, 0.020, 0.025, 0.030, 0.035]
sens = {}
for w in wacc_grid:
    for g in g_grid:
        tv = fcff[-1]*(1+g)/(w-g)
        pv = sum(f/(1+w)**(i+1) for i,f in enumerate(fcff)) + tv/(1+w)**5
        sens[(w,g)] = (pv + cash - total_debt) / shares_out

Also produce Bull / Base / Bear: shift revenue growth ±300bps, EBIT margin ±200bps, WACC ∓100bps, terminal g 3.0% / 2.5% / 1.5%.

Step 8: Respond to the User

Output in this order:

1. Headline verdict — one sentence: blended fair value, vs. current, % upside/downside, most bullish/bearish method. Example: "AAPL fair value ≈ $215 (blended), vs. current $198 → ~9% upside; DCF is most bullish at $228."
2. Snapshot — sector, industry, market cap, current price, 3M / 12M price change, LTM revenue growth.
3. Three-method summary — 3-column table: method | implied price | weight | brief rationale.
4. DCF build — assumptions table (growth path, margins, WACC components, terminal method) + 5-yr FCFF projection table + EV-to-equity bridge.
5. Peer comparison — table of peers with P/E fwd, EV/Rev, EV/EBITDA, gross margin, rev growth; bottom row = median; flag target's premium/discount.
6. SOTP (if applicable) — segment table + adjustments + equity value.
7. Sensitivity matrix — WACC × g grid (5×5), base case highlighted.
8. Scenarios — Bull / Base / Bear table with levers + implied price.
9. Key risks — 3-5 bullets: which assumption moves the answer most; what could break the thesis.

Error handling

Caveats to include

• TTM data lags real-time; peer multiples reflect market sentiment (can overshoot)
• DCF is garbage-in/garbage-out; sensitivity matters more than a point estimate
• yfinance data is unofficial; cross-check any decision with primary filings
• Not financial advice
