Sorry everyone! And thank you! Due to high volume I am hitting my API limits. If you are getting a server error that is why. The limit resets ever minute so please wait and try again.

Always be mindful of this when submitting to HN. The real test of traffic surge. Right now, it is of not much use as it just gives server error.

Haha yeah, I will have to upgrade my api limit. Thank you!

your model is bonkers NVDA - Current Price: $921.93 | Projected Price: $30,082.68 | Difference: 3,163.01%

If the AI says it it must be true. For the sake of my portfolio, fingers crossed.

lol I hope so to! there is no AI on the model though. Pro users can have an AI fill in the model for them. But the base model you see when you load up a stock is just projecting the previous years metrics out 5 years!

If this worked you wouldn't be selling access, especially not for a one-time fee of $10. You'd be making millions. You could probably get away with charging a subscription fee.

I am not advertising this as a stock price predictor. This is for people to make valuation models on stocks but the valuation depends on user input.

I'm interesting in learning more about individual stock investing. I mean, I've been doing it for years, but more just on hype. I've been very successful, but I do very little research on fundamentals and I want to do more of that.

So, your tool sounds interesting, but I don't know enough to use it. Do you have a tutorial video or anything that might walk me through a user story on how somebody would use your tool? Or, do you know of a good fundamentals course that would give me the knowledge to be a customer of your tool?

Hey, the model starts with the previous years growth numbers projected out 5 years. You are meant to give your assumptions to get to a valuation. NVDA revenue grew 125% last year so projecting that out for 5 straight years results in a very high value but is most likely inaccurate!

It sounds like a couple people in this thread have misunderstood how to use your tool. Perhaps you want to hide the projected numbers at least until they start to put in their own assumptions.

Everyone: This is a nice simple interface for making a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, and the pro version lets you export that to Excel. There’s still a lot of work to fill in those fields. More on DCF: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/valuation/dc...

OP: What are “AI Models"

Hi, the pro version allows you to tell an AI what you think aboout the company and it will fill in the DCF model for you.

So you can say, "I think AAPL will have strong growth over the next 5 years, they will also see costs go down as xyz will happen" and the AI will use your assumptions to fill in the DCF

Taking the defaults Boeing is going to -424 a share. Will check this out again later when I can actually try some sane numbers

Hi, DCF models are not very effective when a company is cashflow negative. That can result in weird looking values. On the last tab of the model you can switch the exit multiple to look at EV-Sales which will work better on a cashflow negative business like Boeing. Doing this with the model defaults results in a value of $149. Thanks for checking it out!

This is a good suggestion. Thank you!

Hey, thank you for the compliment. Aswath Damodaran is a professor at NYU and puts out a lot of good content on valuation. You should check him out.
