Course description
Company Analysis and Valuation School
The valuation of corporates is a fundamental skill required of a wide range of finance professionals including equity analysts, strategists, corporate finance executives, fund managers, PE/VC executives and general bankers. The recent volatility of corporate valuations, combined with the emergence of new sectors, makes understanding the theory and practice of valuation essential.
Module 1 of the course offers a comprehensive introduction to financial analysis from the point of view of valuation.
Module 2 This course gives a detailed overview of a range of valuation techniques and methodologies. The course reviews the theory underlying valuations (the key value driver formula) and how to move between EV and equity value. The course then covers multiple valuations (EBITDA, EBIT, EPS, NAV, DDM and other). The course also reviews DCF valuations, including WACC, OPAT and unlevered FCF. The course also reviews how capital structure adjustments can impact valuations. The course uses a range of case studies to apply these theories to real life situations.
