• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Mastery: The bulk of this course revolves around the DCF approach, which is a powerful tool for valuing businesses based on their future cash flows. We'll dissect three primary DCF models:

  1. Dividend Discount Model
  2. Cash Flows to Equity
  3. Cash Flows to the Firm – and determine which model is most suitable for different scenarios. 💸

• Calculating EBITDA and Free Cash Flows: Gain hands-on experience in computing EBITDA and Free Cash Flows, which are fundamental inputs for valuation models. 📊

• Beta Evaluation and Adjustment: Understand how to evaluate a company's Beta, and then learn the necessary steps to un-lever or re-lever Beta in your valuation models for a more accurate reflection of the firm's risk profile. 📊
