Course Description

They say investing isn’t about beating others at their game, but about controlling yourself at your own game. This means using the rights valuation tools to determine the best course of action. The Fundamentals of Equity Valuation course teaches you how to do that. It covers the fundamentals of equity valuation using discounted cash flow models, price multiples, and asset-based models. Valuation isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. The choice of a model depends mainly on the availability of information and the analyst’s confidence in its execution. This course teaches you how to evaluate, choose, and apply each of the valuation models. You will learn the difference between market and intrinsic value and more about cash dividends and their subtypes. We also examine stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, and share repurchases. Throughout the valuation course, we overview present value models and focus on the Gordon growth dividend discount model. Then, we examine the use of multiples in valuation—more specifically, price-to-earnings, price-to-book value, price-to-sales, and price-to-cash flow ratios. Towards the end of the course, we describe the asset-based valuation models and their use in estimating equity value. Once you are familiar with all the tools analysts use to estimate the fair stock value, we summarize their advantages and disadvantages. Designed for financial analysts and investment professionals, this course will equip you with the expertise and skills to make informed investment decisions. Don't wait to take your career to the next level. Invest in your future and enroll now!
