Book Description
Pick the right model for the right moment every time. Whatever your investment philosophy and goals, you’ve probably had trouble at one time or another in measuring the value of a particular asset. Maybe you’ve been wary of the effectiveness of all the valuation models out there and relied on the "guesstimate" approach or simply picked the wrong model for the asset under consideration.
Whatever past problems you may have encountered, Damodaran on Valuation will not only convince you of the vitality of the many valuation models available to you, it will help ensure that you develop the acumen needed to select the right model for any valuation scenario. Written by a gifted teacher and respected valuation authority, Damodaran on Valuation offers an overview of the three basic valuation approaches—discounted cash flow, relative, and contingent claim valuation—and the models within these classes.
Using plenty of real-world case studies, it explains the purpose of each model, its pros and cons, the steps involved in applying it, and the types of firms to which it is most suited. Soon, you’ll have a solid, practical grasp of tools designed to help you estimate the cost of equity, estimate growth rates, value equity, measure free cash flows to equity, value firms, estimate the value of assets via pricing of comparable assets, and measure the value of assets with option-like characteristics. No model is foolproof.
And every valuation is vulnerable to changes in the environment, the economy, and the asset itself. But with Damodaran on Valuation at your side, you can be certain that you’ll have every weapon at your disposal in the battle to accurately determine the value of an asset and to make the right financial decisions under pressure.
