, 1. Why:
- Stock valuation is a method to determine the intrinsic value of a stock, letting an
investor to determine whether the stock is over or under valued compared to its
current market price.
- Valuing private companies for:
a. Acquisitions and takeovers
b. Investment in private entity
c. Financial reporting – fair value measurement
d. Debt Financing
e. IPOs
- Equity valuation methods differ in technique, but they share the same objective—to
estimate the PV of these payoffs to shareholders. In using these types of techniques,
however, the analyst is taking a shortcut with the ultimate goal of forecasting a
company’s future prospects.
2. How:
- The valuation process has five steps:
a. Understanding the business.
b. Forecasting company performance.
c. Selecting the appropriate valuation model.
d. Converting forecasts to a valuation.
e. Applying the analytical results in the form of recommendations and
conclusions.
