Three-Pillar Framework

Every valuation project requires multiple perspectives to build confidence in your conclusions

1

Intrinsic Value

Build detailed DCF models incorporating company-specific growth assumptions, working capital changes, and terminal value calculations based on industry dynamics.

2

Relative Value

Identify comparable companies and analyze trading multiples, adjusting for differences in growth rates, profitability, and risk profiles across peer groups.

3

Research recent transactions in similar industries, analyzing deal premiums, strategic rationale, and market conditions at the time of each transaction.
