Examining the Effectiveness of Discounted Cash Flow Models

Braw, Daniel LU (2010) NEKK01 20092
Department of Economics
Abstract
The paper examines whether a variation of the one and two period discounted cash flow models using optimized investment horizons can be used to explain and/or predict stock prices. In addition to this, the optimized horizons themselves are analyzed to see how long a stock is held in different market climates.

The results show that the models cannot be used for pricing stocks. Neither can they explain stock prices. Regarding the investment horizon, no conclusive results are generated.
