The course introduces students to financial analysis and company valuation. The exposition starts with the discussion of the conceptual points of departure that constitute the basis for rigorous financial analysis and valuation. Subsequently, students are guided through the process of the construction of the discounted cash flow valuation model. Practical considerations are discussed and students learn how to apply the conceptual framework in real life setting. Finally, students put their knowledge into practice as they are asked to use their model to value an existing company and interpret the results.

The course is primarily intended for four-year and fifth-year students. Bachelor’s level students are welcome to take the course after an agreement with the instructor. The course is suitable for students who aim to take the CFA Exams or to participate in the CFA Research Challenge. We recommend (but do not strictly require) students to take the following courses before they take Company Valuation (JEM132): Financial Accounting (JEB044), Financial Management (JEB045), Asset Pricing (JEM092).
