Valuation & Corporate Finance
Valuation & Corporate Finance
The most-commonly used and perhaps the best resource to learn about corporate valuations is Professor Aswath’s Damodaran’s writings and courses. Prof. Damodaran teaches at NYU, and is widely regarded as the authority on valuation and corporate finance.
You can either go through his video lectures or you can read his books.
For video lectures, you can either see his full lectures (classroom lecture recordings) or smaller condensed lectures. I feel that the latter are enough to understand the basics, and you can watch the former if you want to see the principles being applied. If you are just starting out, the smaller lectures are advisable:
If you prefer books, Damodaran on Valuation is an excellent book. A relatively lesser known book which I found really useful is Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies by McKinsey & Co. I believe it does a much better job of tying in valuation with overall business strategy. If you just want to cover the basics, The Little Book on Valuation by Damodaran is a good book to consider.
How Finance Works by Mihir Desai (mentioned earlier) gives a good introduction to corporate finance.
