Among the tools presented are designed to: * Estimate the cost of equity - including the capital asset pricing model and arbitrage pricing model * Estimate growth rates - with coverage of how to arrive at a weighted average of growth rates by blending three separate approaches * Value equity - focusing on the Gordon Growth Model and the two-and three-stage dividend discount model * Measure free cash flow to equity - cash flows that are carefully delineated from the dividends of most firms * Value firms - including free cash flow to firm models, which are especially suited to highly leveraged firms * Estimate the value of assets by looking at the pricing of comparable assets - with insight into the use and misuse of price/earning and price/book value ratios, and underutilized price-to-sales ratios * Measure the value of assets that share optioncharacteristics - including a comparative look at the classic Black-Scholes and simpler binomial models. Supported by an optional IBM-compatible disk, which consists of spreadsheet programs designed to help users apply the models highlighted in the book, Damodaran on Valuation provides practitioners involved in securities analysis, portfolio management, M&A, and corporate finance with the knowledge they need to value any asset.
