- Identifies key assumptions that drive valuation
- Uses various tools and techniques, such as ratio analysis, financial modeling, and industry research
External Environment Analysis

- Helps identify opportunities and threats

- Analyzes financial statements to identify trends and anomalies
- Uses financial ratios to assess a company's performance, profitability, and solvency
- Helps identify areas for improvement and potential opportunities
Valuation Approaches
- Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow method): estimates a company's value based on its expected future cash flows
- Market Approach (Relative Valuation): estimates a company's value based on its market value relative to similar companies
- Asset Approach: estimates a company's value based on the value of its underlying assets
Key Concepts
- Time value of money: the idea that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future
- Discount rate: the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to their present value
- Cost of capital: the minimum return required by investors
Practice Problem: The Coca-Cola Company
- Given financial statements and industry information, estimate the intrinsic value of Coca-Cola's stock using various valuation approaches
Industry Analysis
- Michael Porter identified five forces driving industry competition:
- Potential new entrants and barriers to entry
- Suppliers and their bargaining power
- Rivalry amongst firms in industry
- Buyers and their bargaining power
- Threat of substitutes
Company Analysis
- Company analysis includes an analysis of the company’s financial position, products and/or services, and competitive strategy
- Assess if the company has a moat (assessing competitive advantage)
- Assess if the company consistently generates returns higher than the cost of capital over time
- Try to identify if the company has a moat (assessing competitive advantage)
- Assess if the company consistently generates returns higher than the cost of capital over time
- Final goal is to select the best stock within a desirable industry and include it in your portfolio based on its relationship (correlation) with all other assets in your portfolio
Financial Statement Analysis
- Financial ratios help make sense of the overwhelming amount of information in a company's financial statements
- The use of financial ratios is a time-tested method of analyzing a business
- Analysts use financial ratio analysis to learn more about a company’s current financial health as well as its potential
- Financial ratios are used to assess companies’ financial condition, operations, and attractiveness as an investment
- Examples include Profitability ratios, Liquidity ratios, Efficiency ratios, Solvency or Leverage ratio, and Common size ratios analysis
SWOT Analysis
- Strengths: internal factors that already exist and give the firm a comparative advantage in the marketplace
- Weaknesses: internal factors that put the firm at a disadvantage in the marketplace
- Opportunities: external factors that the firm may be able to capitalize on to gain an advantage
- Threats: external factors that could negatively impact the firm
Valuation Approaches
- Income Approach: calculates the value of a company based on its ability to generate income or cash flows in the future
- Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method: assumes the company will generate cash flows in the future and that these cash flows will grow at a stable rate, discounting the future cash flows to a present value
- Market Approach: calculates the value of a company based on its market value relative to other similar companies
- Relative valuation or Comparable Company Analysis: assumes similar companies are trading at similar multiples and that the company being valued can be compared to these companies
- Comparable Transaction Analysis: assumes the value of the company can be derived from the value of comparable companies that have been sold in the past
- Asset Approach: calculates the value of a company based on the value of its underlying assets
Theory of Valuation
- The value of an asset is the present value of its expected returns
- Requires estimates of the stream of expected returns and the required rate of return on the investment
- Investment Decision Process: compares intrinsic values and current market prices
- If intrinsic Value > Market Price, Buy (undervalued)
- If intrinsic Value < Market Price, Don’t Buy (overvalued)
