Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies (Wiley Finance) 7th Edition

I've read a large number of books on finance and valuation, text books included, but the way the authors walk through the Costco case study throughout the book was/is fantastic. I took each of the chapters and built a model, so the usefulness of the book, in theory and in practice, has been outstanding for me

A textbook-style guidebook on value creation from growth and ROIC, and building different types of DCF models. One of the best books out there about value creation. Provides step-by-step guidance on building models and reorganizing financial statements. Perfect for those who wants to further their valuation skills & techniques, or wants to learn about value creation for their company.Not a beginner’s guide, should at least have basic financial knowledge

This is the premier book on valuation for investors, managers and board members. A thorough presentation of DCF applications in context of various companies and markets. Not a quick read but each example contains a ton of scenarios that show the effects of the theory presented making the analysis come to life. Excellent book!!!

It’s an operative book mainly focused on Discounted Cash Flow valuation. Various economic sectors are reported for a comprehensive visioning of different aspects in valuation processing ( bank, insurance, industrial, etc) . Suggested for easy understanding of the subjects from ratios to performance indexes , CF from operation/investing/financing, growth concepts, etc. Worth the price. Hard coverExist also a version with possibility of accessing to excel spreadsheets.

I wanted a book that explains how to value stocks. I didn’t want a book that glosses over how it’s done. Perhaps it didn’t need over 800 pages, and there’s repetition. Readers like me who’ve never had a finance class may have to read it slowly. Occasionally values in tables appear without explaining formulas used. The formulas and rigor increases with each new chapter. The biggest drawback is offering for sale an expensive spreadsheet sold separately rather than included. I’ll try making my own after reading the whole book.

Overall, this is a very useful book. It's intended for people already familiar with basic accounting principles and financial statement analysis. By reading the book the reader can learn the parts of the financial statement to focus on to spot malfeasance. My only complaint is that some chapters are a bit repetitive and some of the examples of real-world financial chicanery are dated.

Excellent book for describing value creation process and measure business progress.Starting from 4th edition I am reading this excellent book and recommending it to my team and clients.I recommend for general managers and CFO’s

As expected
