Valuation Modeling: Excel as a tool

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
  • Excel is a powerful tool, but in our zeal to test out its many powers, we often overuse, and spend far too much time thinking about modeling and too little about business and valuation first principles. I do have a base valuation spreadsheet that I use to value almost every non-financial service company, and over time I have added some bells and whistles. That said, at its core it remains a simple spreadsheet, with no macros or Excel functions. In this session, I provide a link to the spreadsheet and how to use in valuing company, going input cell by input cell. (I am sorry if my voice sounds ragged, but I have a scratchy throat (nope.. Not COVID) and just got off a long flight.)

      You want to work with a money coach or financial planner, although a wealth manager will concentrate on long term, a money coach will help you with paying off all of your debts, maximize your cash flow and help you create systems and processes to direct your money proactively.

If a company releases R&D figures where part of the total has already been capitalized, and the proportion is known, should only the OpEx R&D figures go into the converter, as the capitalized portion will already been assumed as part of the other inputs, or does this skew the R&D data without ever considering the already-capitalized expenses?

    Also, does the beta in the detailed coc variation account for the debt/equity ratio of the company?

  • @yklim4699
    @yklim4699 6 месяцев назад

    Prof Aswath, thanks for your updated excel which I have been using extensively.
    Notice that the formula of Reinvestment in Valuation Output has changed due to the new insertion of 'year lag between reinvesting and generating growth from that reinvestment' in cell B56 of Input cell. In previous version, the reinvestment used the revenue difference between next and current year to calculate. However, this updated excel uses revenue difference between previous and current year instead as default (when input 'No' in B56); and between next and current year when year lag is 0 year.
    May I know whether there is some variable error or it is the correct formula that rectify previous version bug? Should 0 year lag and default assumption (when stated 'No') be using the same revenue numerator variables instead?
    Tks for your kind advice.

The spreadsheet uses the stock price only if you use the detailed cost of capital approach. Go the cost of capital options, and choose one of the other approaches, and it should work.
