商品描述
Understand how to use equity market metrics such as the price/earnings ratio (and other multiples) to value public and private enterprises--identify and qualify investments and assess business strategy and performance.
Author George Calhoun, Founding Director of the Quantitative Finance Program at Stevens Institute of Technology, shows you how to use metrics to appraise mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs. You will be able to shed light on financial market conditions, benchmark fair value assessments, and check and calibrate complex cash flow models. While multiples are easy to construct, they can be difficult to interpret. The field has become more complex and the question of which metrics perform best can be a source of controversy.
