Company Valuation Masterclass: Complete Guide
Value Any Company Like a Pro Analyst | DCF, Comps & Precedent Transactions by a Former Investment Banker
“Master every valuation method a senior banker actually uses — DCF, trading comps, precedent transactions, sum of the parts — and learn to triangulate a defensible range.”
Why this course
Valuation is not one number. It is a range, supported by three or four methodologies that triangulate to a defensible answer. This is the masterclass that takes you through every method a practitioner uses on real deals — and shows you how to combine them into a presentation a managing director will sign off.
Inside: intrinsic value, time value of money, free cash flow, WACC and CAPM, the dividend discount model, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, EVA and MVA, sum of the parts, and the football field graph that pulls it all together. We cover the dangers of rule of thumb shortcuts, when each method is appropriate, and the judgment calls that separate good analysts from average ones.
Built on 30 years of M&A and corporate finance experience and trusted by over 7,000 students, this is the most complete valuation training available outside a bulge bracket training programme.

What students are saying
Verified reviews from students who completed the course on Udemy.
“As a novice stock analyst in the restaurant industry, I already knew a thing or two about valuation. But I was very happy with the amount of information I got. The course is wide-ranging and introduces you to several relevant techniques beyond the classic DCF.”
“This training starts from the basic principles but then goes into details of valuation. It also gives personal advice and practical examples that you will hardly find in a valuation book.”
“Amazing course. Learning a basic but complex topic with an investment banker is a special blend!”
