The three valuation tools every IB analyst uses.
Learn by doing. These free calculators replicate the models a Day-1 investment banking analyst builds in Excel with the theory, formulas and interview context that recruiters actually test.

Open toolWhy these three?
In investment banking, valuation is triangulated never a single number. DCF gives you intrinsic (fundamental) value; Comps gives you what the market is paying right now for similar businesses; Football Field stitches every method into one visual range for the client.
Master these three and you've covered ~80% of what a first-year analyst does on a live deal.
How to use this toolkit
- 1. Pick a real listed company (e.g. TCS, Infosys, HDFC Bank).
- 2. Build the DCF using its latest 10-K / annual report numbers.
- 3. Enter 4–6 peers into the Comps tool.
- 4. Drop both ranges into the Football Field and compare to CMP.
- 5. Write a 1-page memo defending your view. That's an IB analyst's week.
Educational tool only. Not investment advice, not a recommendation, and not a substitute for professional valuation work.
