Abstract

The Business Valuation Course is aimed to help students with the vital valuation techniques and principles as well as to see through practical case studies how all of them are applied in the real world deals. Companies and investors continue to face challenges and opportunities. For the last 30 years we see various types of financial crisis, internet, fintech, crypto and other booms. All these events prove that the core principles of valuation creation are much more important in all circumstances and the stock market itself is not always a good value indicator. At the same time, we are to explore the market trends and investors sentiment and how it should be taken into account in the course of the deal execution.Valuation is used as a tool to define goals for the Companies, Executives, to develop investment strategy and overall provide the business logic framework for stakeholders, financial investors.The course explores examples of IPO and M&As transactions to see what valuation features could be used subject to market environment, investors’ expectation and final goals. We will proceed with both a “helicopter” view to see a deal from shareholders and investment bankers/advisors’ perspective as well as an execution to go deeper into the company business model, financial statement specifics, value calculation techniques.This course is practically oriented – students are to see how valuation methods could be applied for M&A either for IPO pricing as well as how it could guide you within the corporate finance and investor relations activities.
