Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis in stock valuation tests how changes in key input assumptions affect the output (intrinsic value). A sensitivity heatmap typically varies the discount rate (WACC) and growth rate simultaneously, revealing the range of plausible intrinsic values.

示例

Running a DCF sensitivity analysis on a stock might show intrinsic value ranging from $45 (pessimistic: 11% WACC, 4% growth) to $95 (optimistic: 7% WACC, 12% growth). This range captures the model's uncertainty and is critical for responsible stock valuation.

为什么重要

No single set of assumptions is correct. Sensitivity analysis turns a point estimate into a probability-weighted range, making stock valuation more intellectually honest. It also reveals which inputs matter most — helping investors focus their research on the highest-leverage assumptions.

MiniValuator 如何使用 Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis is a core feature of MiniValuator. Every DCF stock valuation automatically generates a color-coded 3×3 heatmap showing how intrinsic value changes across a grid of growth rate and terminal-value assumption combinations, while the discount rate is held fixed.
