No. Various methods of valuation by discounting flows always give the same value (when done correctly). In Fernández (2006 and 2004) shows that 10 methods of valuation through the method of flows discount always give the same value. That result is logical as all the methods analyze identical reality under the same hypothesis; they are different just in the cash flows they use as a starting point into the valuation.
