Each technique requires different analytical approaches and market understanding. We focus on practical application rather than theoretical concepts.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Build robust DCF models using real company data. You'll work through revenue projections, terminal value calculations, and sensitivity analysis using actual market scenarios from recent transactions.
Comparable Company Analysis
Learn to identify truly comparable companies and adjust for differences in size, growth, and risk. Practice with companies across different sectors to understand how market conditions affect multiples.
Precedent Transaction Analysis
Examine completed M&A transactions to understand how deal premiums and market conditions influence valuations. Access to transaction databases helps you identify relevant precedents.
Real-World Application Focus
Most valuation courses teach theory. We start with actual company situations and work backwards to understand why certain methods work better than others.
- Case studies from recent IPOs and M&A deals
- Live data feeds from major financial databases
- Industry-specific adjustment techniques
- Peer review sessions with other analysts

Industry Experience Matters
Beyond the Textbook
Academic valuation assumes perfect information and rational markets. Real deals involve incomplete data, tight deadlines, and clients who change their minds. That's what we prepare you for.
Market Context
A DCF model in a bull market needs different assumptions than the same model during a downturn. We examine how experienced analysts adjust their approaches based on market conditions and investor sentiment.
Common Pitfalls
Every analyst makes mistakes early on. We'll show you the most common errors and how to catch them before they affect your recommendations. These lessons typically take years to learn through experience.
