Claude for Excel built a 5-year DCF model for Nvidia directly inside the workbook, using live formulas linked to the historicals tab and no hardcoded numbers.
0:02 This is exactly the same type of model that junior financial analyst are creating in big financial institutions. Let's try to create exactly the same model using Cloud's new financial agents. For the context, Anthropic launched Cloud that is sitting in your own Excel sheet. It has access to all the data in your Excel and can create formulas for you. If we haven't met, my name is Annie Bjorkstrom. I'm a tech consultant working in financial industry in Stockholm. Now, let's get started. This is my Excel sheet and here on the first tab under historicals, I have all the historical information about Nvidia. Nvidia is publicly traded company, which means that all the financial statement can be income statement, balance sheet, cash flow is accessible publicly and you can just come to this website and copy this information.
0:55 If you I go back to my Excel sheet, here all the numbers that are under historicals will be used to calculate DCF or default cash flows. We can go to the second tab and let's clean all this information because I want to showcase in real time how Cloud can create this data. Next, let's go to assumptions. Here we also have some data and let's try to clean all of this as well and then under earnings we have nothing. Now our Excel sheet is totally free of numbers. The only thing that we have are historicals that will be used to create the model. If you click on start, you can see Cloud icon in here. Let's click on this and let's prime the model, which means that we are saying to Cloud who it needs to be and what it needs to do.
1:43 Let's try to copy paste the first prompt. Do not worry about the prompts. I will be sharing all the prompts with you. And now this is the actual prompt. You are a senior equity research analyst working directly inside this Excel workbook. On the historical tab, I have past Nvidia's financials, all values in US millions. Build 5-year DCF on the DCF tab. Project revenue forward, but taper Nvidia's growth down each year. Use live formulas linked to historicals, no hardcoded numbers. Confirm you understand the workbook. Now, we click on enter button. And the assumption is that at this point, it will read all the historical numbers and it will come with a plan. It is not building or putting any formulas or numbers in this Excel sheet at the moment.
2:34 Instead, it will create a plan because we asked it to create a plan, to present the plan for us, and then after that, we will define if we want to go with the plan or not. Here comes an answer. It says, "I have reviewed the workbook. Here's what I see." And it is referencing to historicals, it is referencing to DCF tab. And this is the proposed assumptions. It's saying that growth rate was 65% for the last year. However, it is projecting lower growth rate as we asked, and this is very expected because the same company cannot have a very high growth rate every single year, so that's fine. Then we have operating assumptions. It is generating other assumptions that will be used as input parameters for calculating DCF. All of this looks good, so I will say, "Yes, go with it." We have a result.
3:24 You can see that under DCF, now we have an actual model. Here we can see both unlevered free cash flows, we can see evaluations, and we can see implied value per share. But what is very shocking is implied value per share. So, this means that this is the value for every single share of Nvidia. Now, if we come back to the fact that Nvidia is publicly traded company, it means that we can actually check what is the actual market value for Nvidia. And if we just write Nvidia stock price, we can see that it is 194 instead of the number that are based on fundamental analytics. So, this is the actual number that it's worth.
4:09 So, now we can ask a question. Is Nvidia stock overvalued or not? And let's actually send one prompt to Cloud, give it the actual number, and see what Cloud will do. So, I'm saying on the assumption tab at the blue input cell called current share price, and here we are giving the current share price. Let's wait until Cloud will do those updates. Okay, we have a result. Now Cloud actually added the current share price in here under assumption, and if we go back to DCF, here we can see applied value per share, terminal growth rows, we see VACC columns, and you can see that all of those are red, and we can also see that implied value per share is yellow.
4:55 And now, if you are a new financial analyst, maybe you will stay here. But if you are in the junior financial analyst, you have more questions, and you will ask more skeptical, and you will use this prompt that is saying assumption tab is too aggressive or unsupported. Pay special attention to terminal growth rate. It should not exceed long-run GDP growth. Change the terminal growth rate to 2.5, and tell me what it implies per share value. Here, if I go to assumptions, here we can see Let's try to find what is the growth rate. So, it is 3%. However, we are assuming that GDPR needs to be around 2.5%, which means that Cloud may be used for high growth rate, and that is why the numbers are not quite right.
5:47 So, this is something that you need to be aware of when you are using Cloud in Excel. It can do the math, but it might not know all the context information that a financial analyst will know. So, now let's try to send the Okay, we have a result in here. You can see that Cloud is explaining the numbers, and it also checked numbers. For example, here for terminal growth, it down created a number. Instead of 3% we have 2.5, and then it's explaining all the other numbers, and it applied also the numbers here in DCF model. Now, can Cloud in Excel replace a junior financial analyst? The answer is yes and no, because it did 90% of the job. It can take the historical numbers for Nvidia.
6:33 It can create the DCF model. It can create the assumptions and all the difficult formulas. However, it is still lacking the sense how sensitive different numbers should be. So, even if you can use Cloud as a financial analyst, you still need the experience and number sensitivity to understand and to apply some logic which numbers make sense and which numbers do not make sense. Now, if you want to get the prompts that I used during this video, just comment prompts and I will send those to you. And if you like this video and want more videos in this format, give me thumbs up and I will create more videos in the same format. Have a good day, and bye.
