    Study Notes

    Absolute Valuations

    • Primary focus is on a company's intrinsic value, independent of its market price
    • Estimates the company's true value based on its underlying assets, earnings, and cash flows

    Valuation Matrices

    • 'Assets based Valuation' refers to the valuation of a company based on the value of its underlying assets
    • Distinguishes from Earnings Based Valuation Matrices, which focuses on earnings and cash flows

    Relative Valuations

    • Distinguishes from Absolute Valuations by valuing a company relative to its peers or the market
    • Involves comparing a company's valuation multiples to those of its peers or industry averages

    Sum-Of-The-Parts (SOTP) Valuation

    • Main objective is to value a company as a whole by breaking it down into its individual components or segments
    • Estimates the value of each component separately and then adds them up to arrive at the total value of the company

    Valuation Methods

    • The method primarily concerned with analyzing a company's future earnings potential is Earnings Based Valuation

    Trading Multiples

    • Refers to the ratios used to compare a company's valuation to that of its peers or industry averages
    • Key ratios used in Trading Multiples include the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio, and Enterprise Value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio

    Valuation Factors

    • The key factor that distinguishes Assets based Valuation from Earnings Based Valuation Matrices is the focus on asset value versus earnings and cash flows
    • Trading Multiples are important in relative valuations because they help to identify if a company is undervalued or overvalued compared to its peers
    • The factor that is NOT typically considered in Sum-Of-The-Parts (SOTP) valuation is the company's overall market value

    Valuation Comparison

    • When comparing two companies using Trading Multiples, the P/E ratio is commonly used for valuation
