Applied Equity Analysis: Stock Valuation Techniques for Wall Street Professionals

Front Cover
McGraw Hill Professional, Jun 18, 2001 - Business & Economics - 422 pages
Applied Equity Analysis treats stock valuation as a practical, hands-on tool rather than a vague, theoretical exercise—and covers the entire valuation process from financial statement analysis through the final investment recommendation. Its integrated approach to valuation builds viable connections between a firm’s competitive situation and the ultimate behavior of its common stock. Techniques explained include EVA, newer hybrid valuation techniques, and relative multiple analysis.
