The Art And Science Of Valuation, With Professor Aswath Damodaran

Professor Aswath Damodaran is possibly the world’s foremost authority on valuing companies. He’s also one of my heroes. He not only understands his subject really well; he also helps millions of people around the world (students, business managers, investors, etc.) understand and appreciate its intricacies. Charlie Munger once said, “The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more”. Prof. Damodaran lives this principle every day. In this episode, we join Prof. Damodaran to explore some fundamental valuation concepts relevant to investors: - how to value different kinds of businesses, - core ideas behind DCF calculations, - discount rates and equity risk premiums, - cost of equity capital, - how to value optionality in businesses, - how to grapple with uncertainty when valuing things, etc. Prof. Damodaran also shared his views on a few topics not directly connected to valuation: - the incentives that Venture Capitalists have, - Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics, - the future of education and universities, etc. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from the very best!
