About IntrinsiclyIQ
Professional financial valuation platform for institutional-grade analysis
Our Mission
IntrinsiclyIQ is a professional financial valuation platform that provides institutional-grade DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) modeling capabilities to investors, analysts, and financial professionals worldwide.
We democratize access to sophisticated financial modeling tools that were previously only available to investment banks and hedge funds, enabling users to make data-driven investment decisions with confidence.
Why We Built IntrinsiclyIQ
Traditional financial modeling tools are expensive, complex, and require significant training. Excel-based DCF models are error-prone and difficult to validate. Free online calculators use arbitrary assumptions and outdated data. We saw a clear need for a professional-grade platform that combines ease of use with institutional accuracy.
Our platform emerged from the recognition that individual investors and small investment firms deserve access to the same quality of financial analysis tools used by major investment banks. By leveraging modern web technology and premium financial data sources, we built a system that delivers professional results without the traditional barriers of cost and complexity.
IntrinsiclyIQ represents a new approach to financial modeling: transparent methodologies, real-time data integration, and user-friendly interfaces that don't sacrifice analytical rigor. Whether you're conducting due diligence for an acquisition, building investment theses for your portfolio, or learning advanced valuation techniques, our platform provides the tools you need.

Our Valuation Methodology
IntrinsiclyIQ uses institutional-standard valuation methodologies that match those taught in top business schools and used by professional analysts at major investment banks. Our DCF models implement the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) for cost of equity calculations, using live 10-Year Treasury yields as the risk-free rate rather than arbitrary assumptions.
Dynamic WACC Calculation
Unlike many online calculators that use fixed discount rates, our platform calculates company-specific Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) using actual financial data. We pull beta values from market data, interest expense from income statements, and debt levels from balance sheets. This approach recently achieved 99.3% accuracy against Wall Street consensus for companies like Micron Technology, compared to arbitrary 12% assumptions used by competitors.
Proper Free Cash Flow Modeling
Our Unlevered Free Cash Flow (UFCF) formula follows professional standards: NOPAT + Depreciation - CapEx - Working Capital Change. We add back depreciation as a non-cash expense and use industry-specific depreciation rates (35% of revenue for semiconductors, 15% for technology companies). This rigorous approach prevents common modeling errors that underestimate cash generation.
Historical Data Analysis
Before you start modeling, we analyze 10+ years of historical financial data to calculate realistic default assumptions for revenue growth, operating margins, CapEx as a percentage of revenue, and working capital changes. These historically-grounded defaults help users build credible projections while maintaining full flexibility to adjust assumptions based on their research.
Data Quality & Accuracy
Data quality is paramount for accurate valuation. We integrate with multiple premium financial data providers to ensure reliability and comprehensiveness:
- QuickFS: Primary source for 15+ years of comprehensive historical financial statements, ratios, and metrics with institutional-grade data quality.
- Alpha Vantage: Professional-grade financial data with 20+ years of detailed income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and real-time market data.
- Interactive Brokers API: Premium real-time market data, fundamentals, historical data, and current market metrics including live Treasury rates.
- Damodaran Data: Professor Aswath Damodaran's implied equity risk premiums, updated monthly, providing academic rigor to our WACC calculations.
Validation Against Wall Street Benchmarks
We validate our DCF calculations against professional analyst consensus targets. Our accuracy scoring system compares your intrinsic value calculations to Wall Street price targets, providing a reality check against institutional research. When users follow sound assumptions, our models consistently achieve 95%+ accuracy scores compared to analyst consensus.
Data Transparency: We clearly display data sources and calculation methodologies throughout the platform. Users can see exactly where each number comes from and how it's used in the final valuation, enabling informed decision-making and model auditing.
