The main objective of this research is to use Discounted Cash Flow Method to evaluate the real value of the shared bicycle companies, Mobike and ofo. I use the information obtained from the market reports and estimate the free cash flow for the next five years. Then, I calculate the present value by using the estimated free cash flow. The calculated results are used for sensitivity analysis to explore the key factors affecting the development of shared bicycle companies. The research result shows that the key factors of the development of shared bicycle companies are the number of bicycles, the rent price, and the cost of manufacturing bicycles. It is suggested that Mobike and ofo should be merged into one company in order to avoid the waste of bicycle resources and the unnecessary price war. They should optimize efficiency as the next stage of business policy because the government regulators are tightening controls. These recommendations provide a reference for Mobike and ofo's future business strategy and direction.
