Study Notes
Market Valuation Principles
- Market valuation determines fair market value of companies or assets.
- Valuation is vital for determining if a company/asset is overvalued or undervalued.
Valuation Methods
- Absolute Valuation: Focuses on a company's intrinsic value based on fundamentals like cash flow and growth rate (no comparison to others).
- Relative Valuation: Compares companies using multiples and ratios (e.g., price-to-earnings).
Valuation Methods Explained
- Discounted Cash Flow (DCF): Projects future cash flows, discounts them to present value using a discount rate (reflecting risk/return). Useful for assets with predictable future cash flow (e.g., real estate, machinery).
Valuation Principles
- Historical Cost: Assets' value is the original cost, regardless of time.
- Current Value: Assets' value is the current market price, assuming specifications match.
- Realizable Value: Agreed-upon price between buyer and seller, with no strict terms.
- Present Value: Estimates future asset price, discounted to current value.
Factors Influencing Valuation
- Liquidity: Easily bought/sold assets are more valuable.
- Minority Interest: Minority shareholders receive a discount due to reduced control.
- Market Fluctuations: Market prices change, requiring awareness of risk.
Avoiding Valuation Pitfalls
- Don't rely solely on one method. Use multiple methods.
- Consider overall market conditions.
- Use accurate data (avoid using outdated information).
- Tailor valuation to a company's particular characteristics.
