Session 22 (Val Undergrad): Asset-based and Private company valuation

In this session, we looked at asset based valuation: liquidation valuation, accounting valuation and sum of the parts valuation. Specifically, we focused on when it makes sense to value a company by valuing its assets and what pitfalls to avoid.

We then started our discussion of the valuation of private companies by noting how the lack of a market price for a business can affect your valuation in implicit and explicit ways, and then arguing that the value you attach to a private business can depend on why/for whom you are doing the valuation.

YouTube Ad-Blocker Blocker is forcing me to watch the 2nd half of this playlist in incognito mode, but I'm making it a point to sign into normal mode anyway so I can like and comment. I appreciate you, professor. I'm on your website daily and the tools and instruction you give away for free are invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I wish I could listen to your class in person. I wish my MBA classes were adding as much value as these videos do.
