The definitive guide to valuation written by a who's who of today's top practitioners
The Valuation Handbook differs significantly from other related books on this topic because the contributors are practitioners, academics, and investment firms that explain how they value companies and other assets. It concentrates on specific and innovative valuation techniques, rather than the theoretical approaches more generally accepted and discussed. Given the extreme volatility of the stock market, valuation is a critical issue for analysts, investors, and businesses. Here, various professional contributors explain how their firms approach the valuation process, while academic contributors share their valuation consulting and research experience.
- Examines how to value assets in today's dynamic market setting
- Offers a broad spectrum of ideas from some of the top practitioners and academics in this field
- Highlights state-of-the-art approaches to company valuation
Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, The Valuation Handbook puts this difficult discipline in perspective.
Praise For The Valuation Handbook "Given the large and increasing supply of books available about valuing investments and businesses, I was initially skeptical of a market need for The Valuation Handbook. However, during my reading of the book's chapters, I encountered numerous useful and unique perspectives for both students and teachers of business valuation. The Valuation Handbook offers readers an interesting overview of different issues confronted by the professional (or amateur) valuation practitioner."
-Daniel A. Rogers, Associate Professor of Finance, Portland State University
"Anybody who teaches or practices valuation should definitely consider this handbook because it includes a wide range of approaches to company and stock valuation including interesting new models as well as new insights related to widely accepted models."
-Frank K. Reilly, Bernard J. Hank Professor of Finance, Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame
"There is an old phrase about knowing the price of everything, and the value of nothing. That phrase unfortunately encompassed the global investment markets leading to 2008. If ever there was a time for improving techniques and perspectives on valuation, it is now, and this book delivers."
-Michael Falk, CFA, VP and Chief Investment Officer, ProManage, LLC
"This is a great, insightful book for the newly minded analyst to veterans in the trenches. It broaches some new areas that have not been discussed within our industry."
-Mitch Abeyta, Managing Director, Capital IQ-Compustat
