Description: The course introduces students to financial analysis and company valuation. The exposition starts with the discussion of the conceptual points of departure that constitute a basis for financial analysis and valuation. Subsequently, students are guided through the process of the construction of the discounted cash flow valuation model. Practical considerations are discussed and students learn how to apply the conceptual framework in real life setting. Finally, students put their knowledge into practice as they are asked to use their model to value an existing company and interpret the results.
