The DCF valuation model is only feasible for companies with at least slightly predictable cash flow, it doesn't work well in cyclical or biotechnology sectors, or for companies undergoing rapid change. As estimating a discount rate for each company is more art than science, I have used several discount rates to show potential undervaluation/overvaluation. Only companies with a profit this year, or estimated profit next year were valued. As I used a general formula for all stocks, there might be some extremes due to their growth rates/estimated profits.
