About Bootcamp on Valuation

Professionals who struggle to value companies, assets, or equities accurately, look no further than the Valuation Specialist, Professor Aswath Damodaran for training. With his expertise, any professional may confidently make financial decisions with a deeper understanding of business valuation.

In this boot camp, Prof. Damodaran will guide you through the basics of intrinsic valuation, using real companies as examples to highlight the estimation issues and big-picture perspective needed for cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates.
