This seminar is intended to provide practical valuation tools for valuing a company and its securities.

 

Valuation techniques that we will focus on are discounted cash-flow analysis, cost of capital (cost of equity, cost of debt, and weighted average cost of capital) and market multiples. We will discuss best practices to avoid biases and capture uncertainty that is inherent in free cash flow forecasting.
