Abstract

In this article, we analyze and compare several well-known methods of company valuation. In particular, we focus on the income approach (discounted cash flows, the market value added or residual income), the assets approach (net asset), and the market approach (based on value and price multiples) to value companies. This initiative aims to identify the hypothesis considered and to test the equivalence of the results obtained by these valuation methods.
