Damodaran Book on Investment Valuation, 2nd Edition
INVESTMENT VALUATION: SECOND EDITION
I will be putting my entire second edition online, while the book goes through the printing process - it will be available at the end of the year. This may seem like a bit of a free lunch, and I guess it is. I hope, though, that you can do me a favor as you go through the manuscript. If you find any mistakes - mathematical or grammatical - could you please let me know? It would help me ensure that the typos do not find their way into the final version. Chapter 1: Introduction to Valuation Chapter 2: Approaches to Valuation Chapter 3: Understanding Financial Statements Chapter 4: The Basics of Risk Chapter 5: Option Pricing Theory and Models Chapter 6: Market Efficiency: Theory and Models Chapter 7: Riskless Rates and Risk Premiums Chapter 8: Estimating Risk Parameters and Costs of Financing Chapter 9: Measuring Earnings Chapter 10: From Earnings to Cash Flows Chapter 11: Estimating Growth Chapter 12: Closure in Valuation: Estimating Terminal Value Chapter 13: Dividend Discount Models Chapter 14: Free Cashflow to Equity Models Chapter 15: Firm Valuation: Cost of Capital and APV Approaches

    Excess of Investment Cost Over Book Value Acquired

    The most common problems in applying the equity method, it concerns investment costs that exceed the proportionate book value of the investee company. Unless the investor acquires its ownership at the time of the investee’s conception, paying an amount equal to book value is rare. A number of possible reasons exist for a difference between the book value of a company and the price of its stock. A company’s value at any time is based on a multitude of factors such as company profitability, the introduction of a new product, expected dividend payments, projected operating results, and general economic conditions.…

    Introduction and Learning Objectives of Accounting and Management

    In this week we are turning our attention towards the remaining major component of the balance sheet – owners’ equity. Like liabilities, owners’ equity represents another form of financing for a business. At first glance, liabilities (capital provided by creditors) and owners’ equity (capital provided by owners or shareholders) may look very different. As we delve deeper into the topic, however, you will appreciate that debt and equity are at either end of a continuum of financial instruments and that sometimes, financial instruments exhibit both debt‐ and equity‐like qualities. Further, you will note that some financing arrangements do not appear in the balance sheet at all! In our discussion of equity financing, we discuss the option of using equity as a source for resources (assets) of the corporation. Shareholders are a key source of initial finance for a company. While traditionally regarded as the owners of a company’s assets, more recent thought suggests that the shareholder exchanges their investment in a company for a right to the residual cash flows of the firm (dividends). At the end of this topic, you should be able to: LO1. Describe the components of owners’ equity LO2. Accounting for contributed equity LO3. Accounting for retained profits LO4. Accounting for reserves LO5. Describe bonus issues, share splits, and share buybacks LO6. Understand what is meant by debt/equity trade‐off…

    Bradstreet Case

    For the valuation we chose comparable companies to estimate revenue and EBITDA multiples. We chose Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and GoDaddy as they are all internet based organizations. We sourced enterprise value, revenue, and EBITDA values from Yahoo Finance to calculate the average EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA multiples of 8.0x and 14.5x, respectfully (Figure 1). These values, however, represent multiples current to 2016 for large, established companies. To estimate for multiples relevant to 2004 for this case we scaled back the our estimations by ½ based on the prestige of the comparable companies, the growth of tech companies since 2004, and current economic conditions.…

    The most obvious reason for the difference between the market value of equity and the book value of equity is the inability to record certain intangible assets such as brand value, customer loyalty, and perhaps most importantly, human capital. These intangible assets are likely to provide tremendous earnings growth in the future which determines the company’s market value. Notice also that the company’s choice of conservative accounting policies has the effect of depressing the company’s book value of equity.…
