Can you build your own DCF in Simply Wall St?

From a visual report to your own research

Brief Equity and Simply Wall St are both built for long-term investors in stocks. Brief Equity puts your own work at the centre: one feed for everything you track, a research library with a notebook for every stock, valuation models you build yourself, and 13F ownership, in one workspace. Simply Wall St calls itself a Portfolio Command Center: its pages describe portfolio analysis, discovery tools, and market alerts in one place, with a visual report on each stock it covers (as of October 2026).

Its company report sums a stock up in the Snowflake: 30 checks, six each on valuation, future growth, past performance, financial health, and dividends (as of October 2026). In Brief Equity the reading, the numbers, and the conclusion are yours. The passage you saved goes into a note, beside the model you built and the ownership picture for the same stock.

Valuation models

Brief Equity's models are a discounted cash flow and an EV/EBITDA model, driven by your own assumptions. Base starts on the latest Street consensus, so you adjust from a real anchor, and Bear, Base, and Bull sit side by side. Sensitivity analysis maps fair value across two drivers at once, a Monte Carlo run plots the full range of outcomes, peer comparables line up the multiples, and the model shows an exit-multiple value on EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, or EV/EBIT beside the DCF value.

The model stays yours as the company changes. Refresh re-pulls the newest filings and analyst consensus and lists what changed. Save a version whenever the thesis moves, and restore an earlier one from the Versions list.

Simply Wall St shows its own fair value estimate for each stock. Its help centre describes four variants of a discounted cash flow, chosen by the kind of company: a two-stage model built on analyst consensus estimates of free cash flow, a dividend discount model, an excess returns model for banks and insurers, and an AFFO model for REITs. A Valuator tool adjusts inputs such as growth rates or P/E ratios to show how the fair value changes (as of October 2026).

The research you keep

Brief Equity's feed carries news, press releases, earnings-call transcripts, SEC filings, insider trades, and analyst ratings for every ticker on your watchlists, with a tab per source. A transcript opens in a reader that sets each speaker apart and groups the Q&A question by question. Select a passage in a transcript or press release and it saves into a note as a callout with a back-link to the exact spot. A block of cells from the financials saves as a table, and a chart or a model's valuation card saves as an image.

The notes sit in a research library with your own columns, stages, and tags, and a notebook for every stock. Your columns come in 7 types, any of 182 market metrics can sit beside them, you can filter by any column, and a board lays the stocks out in lanes by a field such as Stage or Conviction. A knowledge graph draws your watchlists, stocks, notes, and the funds you follow as one picture.

Simply Wall St's plans page lists stock notes on every plan, and a Narrative records a thesis with your own fair value and is published to its community. It sends daily alerts on earnings, dividends, valuation changes, and insider trading, and on its paid plans an AI agent, Charlie, reviews your holdings and the companies you follow. Its pages list no research library or knowledge graph (as of October 2026).

13F ownership

Quarterly 13F filings show who holds a stock and what each fund did last quarter. Open a fund for its portfolio, turnover, 1-year relative performance, and concentration, save the funds you follow into one dashboard, and see ownership filtered to the tickers on your watchlists.

Simply Wall St's company report has an Ownership section: recent insider transactions, an ownership breakdown, and the top shareholders of that company. Its feature pages and help centre list no page for a fund's 13F portfolio (as of October 2026).

Data and coverage

Brief Equity covers US and international stocks on 60+ exchanges. Every stock page has four tabs: Overview, Charts, Financials, and Dividends. Financials hold the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, with 20 years of annual statements, 40 quarters, and a trailing-twelve-month column. Charts carry price with volume, moving averages, and Bollinger bands, plus panes for P/E, EV/EBITDA, and other multiples.

Watchlists are unlimited, each with the columns you choose, and every list feeds an events calendar of earnings dates and US economic events. Filings, insider trades, and 13F ownership come from SEC records.

Simply Wall St's plans page and help centre both cap the number of watchlists and set a limit of 50 stocks in each (as of October 2026).

Plans and pricing

Brief Equity is one plan with everything included: a 10-day free trial with no card, then $38/mo billed annually ($48/mo monthly). Simply Wall St has three plans: Free, Premium, and Unlimited. Its plans page sets company reports at 5 a month on Free and 30 a month on Premium, holdings at 10 and 30 per portfolio, and keeps broker sync and its AI agent, Charlie, for the paid plans. Its help centre says the paid plans are sold as annual subscriptions (as of October 2026).
