 Detailed Calculation Walkthrough
 Here is an in-depth explanation of each step in the valuation process.
+
+
 Step 1: Data Acquisition (get_stock_data)
 The pipeline begins by fetching all necessary raw data for the selected ticker from yfinance. This includes:
 Company Profile: Market data like market cap, beta, and the number of shares outstanding.
 Financial Statements: The last 4-5 years of the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement.
+
+
 Step 2: Key Metrics Calculation (calculate_metrics)
 The raw data is processed to calculate two crucial metrics for our analysis:
 Operating Margin: A measure of core business profitability.
 Formula: Operating Income / Total Revenue
 Free Cash Flow (FCF): The cash a company generates after accounting for capital expenditures. This is the bedrock of the DCF model.
 Formula: Cash from Operating Activities - Capital Expenditures
+
+
 Step 3: Weighted Average Cost of Capital (calculate_wacc)
 The WACC is the discount rate used to bring future cash flows back to their present value. It represents the blended cost of a company's financing and is a critical input for the DCF model. It is calculated in three parts:
 A. Cost of Equity (Re): Calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
@@ -80,6 +86,8 @@ B. Cost of Debt (Rd): The effective rate the company pays on its debt.
 Formula (Proxy): Interest Expense / Total Debt
 C. The WACC Formula: The final weighted average.
 Formula: (Equity Weight * Re) + (Debt Weight * Rd * (1 - Tax Rate))
+
+
 Step 4: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation (run_dcf_valuation)
 This model calculates the company's intrinsic value based on its ability to generate future cash.
 Forecast FCF: The model projects the company's Free Cash Flow for the next 5 years. The growth rate is based on the company's historical Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of revenue, which is then gradually tapered down to a conservative perpetual growth rate.

 Discount to Present Value: All projected FCFs and the terminal value are discounted back to today using the WACC. The sum of these is the Enterprise Value.
 Calculate Equity Value: The model subtracts the company's Net Debt (Total Debt - Cash) from the Enterprise Value to arrive at the total value attributable to shareholders.
 Final Value: The Equity Value is divided by the number of shares outstanding to get the final intrinsic value per share.
+

 Step 5: Comparable Company (Comps) Valuation (run_comps_valuation)
 This model provides a relative valuation based on how the market is pricing similar companies.
 Identify Peers: A predefined list of close competitors is used.
@@ -96,6 +106,8 @@ Apply Multiple: This median multiple is multiplied by the target company's own E
 Formula: Target Company EBITDA * Peer Median EV/EBITDA
 Calculate Equity Value: Just like in the DCF model, Net Debt is subtracted from the Implied Enterprise Value to get the Implied Equity Value.
 Final Value: The Implied Equity Value is divided by shares outstanding to get the final market-based value per share.

 Step 6 & 7: Synthesis and Final Decision (analyze_stock)
 This is the final step where all the analysis comes together.
 Blend Valuations: The application takes a simple average of the DCF and Comps values to create a single, blended Avg. Intrinsic Value.

 Apply Margin of Safety: A final decision is made based on a 25% margin of safety.
 Rule: If Upside Potential > 25%, the decision is "Buy". Otherwise, it is "Hold/Not Buy".
