This is a class about the valuation of businesses – publicly traded and private. It is a 26-session full semester class for MBAs.
Valuation is a key component of almost every aspect of business. If you run a business, you need to be able to not only assess its value but determine how your actions affect that value, in positive and negative ways. If you are planning on investing in a business or a publicly traded company, you have to estimate its value.
In this class, we will look at the tools that are available to value a business and different ways of estimate that value. We will begin by describing how all valuation models can be broadly categorized into three approaches. In intrinsic valuation, you value an asset or business based on its fundamentals (cash flows, growth and risk). In relative valuation, or pricing, you value an asset based upon how similar assets are priced. In contingent claim valuation, you attach a premium to some assets because they offer a payoff, if something happens. |
