Net present value

/nɛt ˈprɛzənt ˈvælju/ noun

Definition

The difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows over a period of time, used to evaluate investment profitability. A positive NPV indicates the investment will generate more value than it costs.

Etymology

Emerged from discounted cash flow theory in the 1950s as corporations needed systematic ways to compare investment projects. The 'net' aspect reflects the subtraction of initial investment from discounted future returns, making it a comprehensive profitability measure.

Kelly Says

NPV is the ultimate financial truth detector - it strips away accounting tricks and tells you exactly how much richer (or poorer) a decision will make you in today's money! Warren Buffett essentially built his fortune by finding investments with massive positive NPVs that others missed.
