How do we estimate the value of a company?
Income.
By projecting the earnings of the business, and then adjusting them for changes in growth rates, taxes, and cost structure, cash flow can be determined.
Financial History.
In addition to historical earnings, this includes debt-paying ability, capitalization of earnings or cash flow, gross income multipliers, and dividend-paying ability.
Future Industry.
On the basis of the company’s industry experience, as well as published standards and trends for their industry, rules of thumb / industry averages are used.
Relevant Comparisons.
Profit and earnings ratios for public companies in the business industry are widely available, and can often be used to set and compare prices.
Assets & Inventory.
A company’s market value includes the actual value of real estate, equipment, inventory, and other tangible assets that would be transferred as part of the sale, as well as the value of its intangible assets.
Income Statements.
A valuation will include careful consideration of last year’s financial statements, as well as a combination of results from the past three to five years.
