Three Pillars of Valuation Excellence
Our curriculum focuses on the fundamental methodologies that drive accurate financial analysis. Each approach requires different skills and provides unique insights into company value.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Learn to build robust DCF models from scratch, including terminal value calculations, WACC derivation, and sensitivity analysis. You'll work with actual company financials to understand how small assumption changes impact valuations significantly.
Comparable Company Method
Master the art of selecting appropriate peer companies and applying multiple ratios effectively. We cover EV/Revenue, P/E variations, and sector-specific multiples while addressing the challenges of finding truly comparable businesses.
Precedent Transactions
Understand how M&A premiums, transaction timing, and deal structures affect valuation benchmarks. This module includes analyzing control premiums and recognizing when transaction multiples provide meaningful guidance.
Your Learning Journey
We've structured the program to build skills progressively, with each phase reinforcing previous concepts while introducing new complexity.
Financial Statement Deep Dive
Start with thorough analysis of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. You'll learn to spot red flags, understand accounting policies, and make necessary adjustments for valuation purposes.
Model Building Workshop
Construct comprehensive financial models using Excel, focusing on flexibility and scenario testing. This hands-on phase emphasizes best practices in model design and documentation.
Industry Application
Apply your skills across different sectors - technology, healthcare, energy, and financial services. Each industry presents unique valuation challenges and requires sector-specific adjustments.
Case Study Analysis
Work through real-world scenarios that test your judgment and analytical thinking. These cases simulate the complexity you'll face in actual investment decisions.
Why Valuation Skills Matter More Than Ever
Markets have become increasingly complex, with traditional metrics sometimes failing to capture company value. ESG factors, intangible assets, and rapidly evolving business models require sophisticated analytical approaches.
Our program addresses these modern challenges head-on. You'll learn to value companies with negative cash flows, understand the nuances of stock-based compensation, and navigate the complexities of international accounting standards.
