Lorna

Lorna is an intelligent valuation engine designed to streamline and professionalize the complex process of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling. It empowers financial analysts, investors, and students to perform comprehensive equity analysis with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. By combining guided workflows with powerful analytical tools, Lorna transforms a traditionally time-consuming task into an intuitive and efficient process. The platform is built to produce professional-grade outputs, allowing users to build compelling investment narratives backed by solid financial projections.

A standout feature is LORNA Notes, an AI-powered tool that generates research summaries, helping users quickly grasp key information. Whether you are a seasoned analyst or just starting, Lorna provides the resources and structure needed to build robust valuation models from the ground up.

How to use Lorna

Lorna employs a structured, step-by-step workflow to guide users through the entire valuation process, ensuring all critical components are covered:

1. Company Overview: Begin by building your investment thesis. Define the company's business dynamics, competitive advantages, and the core narrative that will drive your financial assumptions.
2. Financial Projections: Set key financial drivers for your model. This includes forecasting revenue growth over a flexible period (3-20 years), defining margin expansion, and estimating capital requirements like CapEx and changes in working capital.
3. Valuation Analysis: Lorna automatically calculates the enterprise value and intrinsic share price based on your projections. The platform handles the complexities of DCF mechanics, including terminal value and discount rate (WACC) calculations. Users can perform advanced scenario and sensitivity analysis to test their assumptions.
4. Export & Share: Once the model is complete, export your work into professional, JP Morgan-style Excel models. You can also generate comprehensive, shareable interactive reports to present your findings to colleagues or clients.
