Valuation refers to the analytical process of distinguishing the company's current value of assets. To evaluate the company's assets, one can capitalize on different techniques. Analysts use a variety of metrics to estimate the company's value, including an analysis of its management, capital structure, its future earnings prospects, and its market value.

Overall, there are 3 main valuation methods that are highly used by industry practitioners

• DCF Analysis (Discounted Cash Flow): Forecasts of the business' unlevered free cash flow into the future are discounted according to the business' Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
• Comparable Company Analysis: Comparing the current business value to other relatable businesses by evaluating it with other trading multiples.
• Precedent Transactions: Comparing the company with those firm that has been recently sold out or acquired in the same industry. Takeover premiums are included in these transaction values.
