Corporate Valuation - DCF and Relative Valuation
About this course
Understanding how to value a company is a fundamental skill in corporate finance, investment analysis, and financial decision-making. In this course, you will develop a practical understanding of corporate valuation by learning both intrinsic and relative valuation techniques used to estimate a company's financial worth. You will begin by exploring the principles of intrinsic valuation through the Dividend Discount Model (DDM), learning how dividend growth assumptions influence valuation outcomes and how intrinsic value compares with market price. Next, you will build comprehensive Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation models by forecasting financial statements, estimating free cash flows, calculating terminal value, and applying the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine enterprise value. The course also examines how capital structure, convertibles, stock options, and sensitivity analysis affect valuation results. Finally, you will apply relative valuation techniques using commonly used multiples such as Price-to-Earnings (PE), Price-to-Book Value (PBV), and Price-to-Cash Flow (PCF), while comparing their applications across different industries. Designed for finance professionals, investment analysts, and advanced business students, this course emphasizes structured valuation methods, analytical reasoning, and practical interpretation of valuation outputs. By the end of the course, you will be able to construct valuation models, compare intrinsic and relative valuation approaches, evaluate enterprise and equity value, and confidently interpret valuation results for financial analysis.
