Methods Used for Share Valuation

There are several methods used in the valuation of shares, depending on various factors such as the purpose of valuation, the availability of information, and the nature of the company. Here are some commonly used methods:

• Market Capitalization: This method is based on the current market price of a company's shares multiplied by the total number of outstanding shares. It provides a measure of the company's total value as perceived by the market.
• Price/Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio compares the market price per share to the earnings per share (EPS) of the company. It helps assess how much investors are willing to pay for each rupee of earnings. The P/E ratio can vary across industries and companies, and it is often used for relative valuation. A low P/E ratio implies that any investor buying the stock is receiving an attractive amount of value.
• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis: DCF is a widely used method that estimates the present value of a company's future cash flows. It involves projecting future cash flows, applying a suitable discount rate to account for the time value of money and risk, and then summing up the discounted cash flows to determine the value of the company.
• Dividend Discount Model (DDM): The DDM method share valuation is based on the present value of expected future dividends. It assumes that the intrinsic value of a share is equal to the present value of all future dividends that the shareholder will receive.
• Comparable Company Analysis (CCA): CCA involves comparing the valuation multiples (such as P/E ratio, price-to-sales ratio, or price-to-book ratio) of the target company with similar companies in the industry that are publicly traded. This method helps in determining the relative value of the shares.
• Book value: The share book value method is a valuation approach that focuses on the book value of a company's shares. It calculates the tangible net worth of a company by subtracting its total liabilities from its total assets and then divides this value by the number of outstanding shares to determine the book value per share. The book value represents the accounting value of the company's assets and is based on historical cost.
• Earnings-Based Valuation: This approach considers the company's historical and projected earnings, applying a multiple or a capitalization rate to determine the value of the shares. It is often used for companies with stable and predictable earnings.

It is important to note that the choice of share valuation method depends on the specific circumstances and the availability of information. In practice, a combination of these methods is often used to arrive at a more comprehensive valuation. Additionally, it's recommended to consult with financial professionals or experts in the field for a thorough and accurate valuation.
