COMMON VALUATION APPROACHES

INCOME APPROACH

A cash flow-based valuation approach.

For example:

  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method: Projects future cash flows and discounts them to present value using a required rate of return.

  • Capitalization of Earnings: Estimates value based on a single-period expected earnings figure and a capitalization rate.

ASSET-BASED APPROACH

A balance sheet-based valuation.

For example:

  • Net Asset Value (NAV) or Book Value: Assesses the company’s assets minus liabilities at book value.

  • Liquidation Value: Determines the net cash from selling all assets and settling all liabilities.

MARKET APPROACH

​A comparative valuation approach.

For example:

  • Public Company Comparables (Trading Multiples): Compares valuation multiples (e.g., EV/EBITDA, P/E) of similar publicly traded companies.

  • Precedent Transactions (M&A Comparables): Looks at past sales of comparable companies to gauge valuation.
