DDM and goodwill question

how does the DDM implicitly include for goodwill?

what is DDM bro?

Dividend Discount Model bro

isn’t DDM a measurement of the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying amount (purchase price) to decide the existence of goodwill?

most companies use EBITDA or EBITDAR as a proxy for their cash flow when determining fair value, DDM is way too simplistic.

what’s EBITDAR?

earnngs before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, and rent.
