Valuation: A Preview
This is a short introduction to the valuation class that I teach at Stern and it lays out the five themes that run through the class. First, valuation is not a science (with precision as an end game) or an art form (where you can do whatever you want). It is a craft. Second, valuation is universal and its principles cover all types of businesses, public or private, small or large and across the life cycle (from start up to decline). Third, the value of an asset is driven by different forces and can yield a different number than the pricing of that same asset. Fourth, valuations don't come from spreadsheets, but represent a marriage of stories and numbers; one without the other can lead you astray. Finally, valuation is pragmatic and requires action; if you are unwilling to act on your valuations, why bother? The MBA and undergraduate valuation classes are identical and you can take either, or if you want to torture yourself, both. Each week, we will have two sessions, 75-80 minutes long, and the recordings will show up on the playlist for the class, with links to slides, a start of the class test and a post class test. (I could tell you taking this class online will cost you nothing, and that is technically true, but it will take up a significant chunk of your time, albeit on your terms.)
