VALUATION
There are three primary equity valuation models: the discounted cash flow (DCF), the cost,
and the comparative (or comparable) approach.We have used DCF Valuation Method and
Comparable Model Valuation Method.
There are two primary comparable approaches.
1.
The first is the most common and looks at market comparables for a firm and its peers.
Common market multiples include the following: enterprise-value-to-sales (EV/S),
enterprise multiple, price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-book (P/B) and price-to-free-
cash-flow (P/FCF).
2.
The second comparables approach looks at market transactions where similar firms,
or at least similar divisions, have been bought out or acquired by other rivals, private
equity firms or other classes of large, deep-pocketed investors. Using this approach,
an investor can get a feel for the value of the equity.
We are going with the first approach.
Discounted Cashflow valuation with reasonable assumptions as listed in the excel sheet
has valuated share or Maruti at Rs 6104.
