Valuation is at the heart of finance, guiding decisions in mergers and acquisitions, investment strategies, and corporate growth planning. Valuation Course for New Financial Analysts: DCF, Multiples & Financial Modeling is designed to provide beginners with a comprehensive yet accessible foundation in valuation techniques widely used by professionals in the financial industry.

The course begins with an introduction to valuation concepts and explores where they are applied across finance. You will learn the underlying assumptions, advantages, and limitations of different valuation methods, giving you the critical thinking skills to select the right approach for specific business scenarios. Special attention is given to the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, where you will master core elements such as WACC, CAPM, beta, terminal value, and exit multiples.

Alongside theory, you will build and structure a full financial model, working step by step through income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements to calculate free cash flows and equity values. You will also learn how financial statements link together and how to translate them into accurate valuation outputs. Beyond DCF, the course covers comparable trading multiples and precedent transaction multiples, teaching you how to source, analyze, and apply real market data to determine enterprise value and equity value.

By the end of the course, you will not only understand valuation frameworks but also have the practical skills to perform hands-on analysis and present results through professional valuation summary tables and football field charts. Whether preparing for a career in investment banking, private equity, or corporate finance, this course provides the knowledge and confidence to handle valuation projects effectively.
