Valuation

Book description

Valuation: Theories and Concepts provides an understanding on how to value companies that employ non-standard accounting procedures, particularly companies in emerging markets and those that require a wider variety of options than standard texts provide.

The book offers a broader, more holistic perspective that is perfectly suited to companies and worldwide markets. By emphasizing cases on valuation, including mergers and acquisition valuation, it responds to the growing expectation that students and professionals must generate comprehensive perspectives based on thorough investigations and a library of valuation theories.

Readers will gain a better understanding of the development of complete analyses, including trend analysis of financial parameters, ratio analysis, and differing perspectives on valuation and strategic initiatives. Case studies include stock market performance and synergies and the intrinsic value of the firm are compared with offer price. In addition, full data sets for each chapter are available online.

  • Provides an understanding on how to value companies that employ non-standard accounting procedures, particularly companies in emerging markets
  • Gives readers the ability to compare the intrinsic value of the firm with the offer price
  • Showcases a variety of valuation techniques and provides details about handling each part of the valuation process
  • Each case has data in excel spreadsheets for all companies, and data sets for each chapter are available online
