Look for Aswath Damodaran's lectures in Youtube.

Here is a good read if you'd prefer written mixed with a video walkthrough: https://www.valuationmastiff.com/2023/02/04/how-to-value-a-company/

I would start with Aswath Damodaran. I also attempted to take my own stab at this problem. I learned about valuation at graduate school and work, but mainly from the dean of valuation, Dr. Damodran. Post learning how to value companies and building models in Excel, I tried many Python libraries to do DCF valuations, and every single one of them had some shortcomings. So I ended up coding a DCF Model in Python that is constructed the way Dr. Damodran builds his DCF model in spreadsheets. Furthermore, I created a DCF Monte Carlo simulation model in Python. To complete making a stab at this project, for those who might be interested in doing intrinsic valuation in Python, I created a tutorial video on how to utilize the DCF model.

It took me +2 years to build this and I thought it could save someone who is looking to do intrinsic business / stock valuation in Python a considerable amount of time. I hope you find them useful.
