Therefore the course provides students with essential knowledge in equity valuation and develops skills and competences to apply this knowledge. The following topics and concepts are covered: The course is segmented into major sections. It starts with a discussion of the drivers of corporate value, specifically return on invested capital (ROIC) and organic revenue growth. Based on this, it examines how to build an ROIC-based valuation model in conjunction with a free cash flow to firm (FCFF) model. Following that it covers financial analysis using data from the annual report based on traditional competitive benchmarking and to current metrics such as return on invested capital (ROIC) and economic profit. The primary goal is to build a true understanding of operating performance across business units and for the entire company. Having covered the above elements, the course focuses on building an integrated valuation model using discounted cash flow. This section of the course starts with the fundamentals of forecasting, how to determine the appropriate forecast period, and issues related to continuing value. It covers the weighted average cost of capital, focusing on how to estimate the inputs. The final section discusses alternatives to DCF valuation, such as multiples analysis to triangulate DCF valuation and comparison to investment strategies of major investors.
