  - Market cap, book value and discounted cash flow analysis
  - Trading and transaction multiples

Methods applied

Models and methods (Research and Analysis):
• Capital asset pricing model (e.g. deriving beta, the risk-free rate and the markt risik premium)
• Trading multiples method (e.g. deriving a peer group)
• Transaction multiples method (e.g. selecting the relevant transactions)
• Entity method (e.g. WACC)

Quantitative empirical methods (Comparables – Statistics, Mathematics, Data analysis)
• The following EXCEL based quantitative methods are applied in order to apply the models and methods mentioned above:
o Scenario analysis (e.g. best case and worst case scenarios)
o Simulation techniques
o Iteration approach (e.g. solving the circularity problem)
o Sensitivity analysis (e.g. sensitivity tables)
o Input and outputmodels

Qualitative methods (expert interviews …):
• Qualitative analysis of valuation methods (e.g. from “value“ to “price“ based on takeover premium. This results in a valuation range)
• Based on expert opinions the applicability of the results is verified in a so called “football-field”.
Teaching methods:
• The lecture is case study based and will be carried out in English
• Students will model one up-to-date business case in Excel. They will start from scratch and end up with a professional Corporate Finance /Investment Banking model. There will not be an abstract lecture but it can be compared to an arts class where the students come up with one “master piece”.
