You're missing my point altogether. I'm aware of how DCFs work and you describe their mechanics accurately. My point is that the drop in Twitter's stock price has nothing to do with DCFs and more broadly, that DCF models are useful (and used) primarily as a means of comparing similar companies rather than as a "true measure" of a company's value.
