Welcome to the Valuation course. Most business decisions require rigorous financial analysis to assess their implications for shareholder value. That makes it essential for all business managers to master a core set of financial tools and valuation skills that complement their strategic acumen. To help you develop these skills.

* Identify key drivers of value creation
* Estimate how changes in performance or strategy will affect the value of a company
* Conduct a detailed historical analysis of a company's performance
* Understand core valuation concepts, such as NOPLAT, invested capital, free cash flow, and ROIC
* Estimate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
* Forecast free cash flow
