This course equips learners with the analytical tools and valuation frameworks used in modern corporate finance to estimate a company's worth. Designed for finance professionals, analysts, and advanced business students, the course blends theoretical concepts with practical modeling strategies to enable valuation from both intrinsic and relative perspectives.

Through structured video lessons and graded assessments, learners will explain valuation fundamentals, apply the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) for intrinsic valuation, and construct detailed Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models by forecasting financials and calculating free cash flows. The course further guides learners to analyze enterprise and equity value distinctions, evaluate sector-specific valuation multiples like PE, PBV, and PCF, and compare the advantages and limitations of each approach. By the end of the course, learners will be able to assess a firm's financial worth using industry-relevant valuation methods, justify assumptions used in model construction, and interpret valuation outputs with confidence and clarity.
