The second edition of Damodaran on Valuation stands out as the most reliable book for answering many of today’s critical valuation questions. Completely revised and updated, this edition is the ideal book on valuation for CEOs and corporate strategists. You′ll gain an understanding of the vitality of today’s valuation models and develop the acumen needed for the most complex and subtle valuation scenarios you will face.
From the Inside Flap
The ability to value any asset is an essential skill in a wide variety of professional environments, from corporate finance to portfolio management to strategy. And while the reasons for doing valuation are as wide–ranging and varied as business itself, the fundamental precepts underlying valuation are surprisingly similar in both form and function.
Damodaran on Valuation, Second Edition provides you with today′s most straightforward and comprehensive examination of the approaches and models necessary for performing valuations. Written by renowned teacher, author, and valuation authority Aswath Damodaran, and fully revised and updated from its top–selling first edition—which has become the essential reference for any professional needing accurate and reliable valuation information—this invaluable book now provides you with:
- In–depth coverage of different distinct valuation approaches and key models within each
- Techniques for accurately assessing the effect on value of employee stock options and other equity–based compensation
- Methodologies for using valuation models to value intangible assets—patents, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, brand names, and more
- Sound strategies for identifying and measuring the value of control in any business and why the expected value of control plays a role in many different valuation contexts
- Discussion of how liquidity—or, more accurately, illiquidity—affects value, along with ways to measure this impact on value
- Potential sources of the ever–elusive "synergy" when combining two entities, how best to value each type of synergy, and an examination of why firms so often overpay for synergy
- Techniques for measuring the costs of accounting opacity and business complexity, and accurately discounting the value of complex firms to promote transparency at every level
- A commonsense framework you can use to sift through numerous possible valuation models to determine the best model for your valuation task
For more than a decade, Damodaran on Valuation has been the standard valuation reference for professionals in virtually everyfield. Business realities have changed dramatically over that time, but the principles underlying valuation have not. Let this comprehensively revised and updated edition give you the knowledge and tools you need to address today′s increasingly complex—and uncompromising—corporate and investment valuation environment.

Thoroughly covers most aspects of equity valuation
22 May 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I saw the author speak at a conference which prompted me to buy the book. His presentation and book nicely merge theory with practice -- too many valuation books are academic and don't deal with the real-life problems. He seems to anticipate the types of real-life challenges you'll get and then tells you how to handle them (about half the book addresses these "loose ends" that aren't always covered in more basic valuation material). I especially like that he's embraced valuation methods beyond DCF (such as P/E and P/B) because purists tend to dismiss these other methods as too crude for serious consideration(in his book he acknowledges that only 10% of Wall Street valuations are done with DCF). His web site is great for practitioners because you can download the raw numbers for thousands of companies and do the valuation steps he highlights in the book.

The bible of valuation and corporate finance
10 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Damodaran is widely known in the academic/financial arena. The second edition clears up many hiccups in the first edition. There are other books out there that will provide you with most of the information in this book, but not with as much detail and explanation. Also, this book is written very well. It does a great job of keeping the student's interest and not sounding too dry (most of the time). I bought this for one finance class, and have used it as a supplement in nearly all other finance classes. Every finance professor I have asked about Damodaran speaks very highly of him. Although this book material/methodology sticks primarily to the academic world, it still provides the reader with the real-world content and thorough understanding that will be needed in the business world. If you want a truly detailed yet practical analysis of valuation, then this is the book for you.
