Present valueThe value today of a stream of payments and/or receipts over time in the future and/or the past, converted to the present using an interest rate. If Xt is the amount in period t and r the interest rate, then present value at time t=0 is V = St (Xt)/(1+r)t.Present valueThe amount of cash today that is equivalent in value to a payment, or to a stream of payments, to be received in the future. To determine the present value, each future cash flow is multiplied by a present value factor. For example, if the opportunity cost of funds is 10%, the present value of $100 to be received in one year is $100 x [1/(1 + 0.10)] = $91.Present value Similar MatchesPresent value factorPresent value factorFactor used to calculate an estimate of the present value of an amount to be received in a future period. If the opportunity cost of funds is 10% over next year, the factor is [1/(1 + 0.10)].

Present value of growth opportunitiesPresent value of growth opportunitiesNet present value (NPV) of investments the firm is expected to make in the future. Net present valueNet present valueA calculation which is based on the idea that £1 received in ten years' time is not worth as much as £1 received now because the £1 received now could be invested for those ten years and compound into a higher value.The NPV calculation establishes what the value of future earnings is in today's money. To do the calculation you apply a discount % rate to the future earnings. The further out the earnings are (in years) the more reduced their present value is.NPV is at the heart of securities analysis. Analysts use predictions of a company's future earnings and dividend payments, appropriately discounted back to current value, to establish a 'fundamental' value for the shares. If the current share price is below that value, then the shares are, on the face of it, attractive, If lower, they are 'overvalued'. In practice the analysis is more sophisticated, but it is based on the concept of NPV.
