    Searching for Advice and Guidance on DCF Modeling

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 06:23 PM PST

    Hello,

    I am a current university student studying finance. I recently began learning about DCF models and I decided to try constructing a DCF of Netflix using Damodaran's videos and a template of his as a base. I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism that can be offered and, if you are aware of any, possible template suggestions that might better enable me to construct DCF models in the future.

    In addition, I am planning on constructing a subscriber-based valuation of Netflix in the not-too-distant future, so any advice regarding starting points for that would be appreciated as well.

    Thank you all for your time and expertise.

    Why is SunPower (SPWR) not an obvious put option play?

    Posted: 24 Feb 2019 02:26 PM PST

    What are yall's thoughts on SPWR? It seems like a solar firm that is barely solvent, and management has already expressed going concerns and acted like bankruptcy is eminent (did not put new director on for a while, cut sg&a and capex in half). The common stocks been held up by an "environmental" institution according to Cap IQ, which bought up a quarter of the float recently. Seems like all the institutions will flee to the exits once SPWR declares bankruptcy. Also "beta" seems pretty low since the stock hasn't moved wildly for a little while, so puts are cheap. Their book value just flipped to the negatives after they sold off a bunch of assets to pay up to lenders. A good portion of their debt also expires in 2021.

    This seems like an obvious 2 year put option play, since book has just turned into the negatives and it seems as if lenders are barely willing to loan to SPWR due to their insolvency and austere operating performance (negative gross margins anyone?). Any thoughts or reasons not to load up?
