To do this we need to predict the future cash flows and then determine how much those cash flows are worth to us today. We predict the future expected cash flows by predicting what the financial statements will look like in the future, and then using this to determine the cash the company will have in the future. This cash is paid to share holders. We use linear regression to predict the future financial statements. Once we have our predicted financial statements we need to determine how much the cash flows are worth today. This is done with a discount factor. Our DCF allows users to choose between Fama French and CAPM for the factor. This allows us to calculate the present value of the future cash flows. The present value of all of these cash payments is the companies' value. Dividing this value by the number of shares outstanding allows us to calculate the value of each share in a company.  optional arguments:   -t TICKER, --ticker TICKER                         Ticker to analyze (default: None)   -a, --audit           Generates a tie-out for financial statement                         information pulled from online.

Summary: Perform a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis on a specific stock ticker to determine its value. The DCF analysis predicts future cash flows using linear regression and calculates their present value with a discount factor. Users can choose between Fama French and CAPM for the discount factor. Additional options include auditing financial statement information, removing ratios, filtering similar companies, adjusting prediction years, specifying beta, and using a growth estimate instead of linear regression.

Examples:
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL>: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL>
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> with a custom beta: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> -b 1.2
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> with growth estimate instead of linear regression: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> -g
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> and generate a tie-out for financial statement information: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> -a
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> without ratios: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> --no-ratios
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> with no market cap filter for similar companies: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> --no-filter
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> predicting cash flows for 5 years: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> -p 5
- Analyze the DCF of <SYMBOL> and generate ratios for 3 similar companies: stocks/fa/dcf -t <SYMBOL> -s 3
