Definition of DCFDCF Discounted Cash Flow. DCF techniques are used to value investments. The cash flows associated with the investment are projected out into the future and discounted back to present day value. In theory, the maximum that an investor would pay for an investment is the present value of the future cash flows that will be received. This technique is used for valuing companies, acquisition targets and commercial property. It is also used in project appraisal (you may have come across the term NPV which means net present value - ie present value after deducting the cost of the investment).
