Session 22: Sum of the parts Valuation and first steps on Valuing Privately owned businesses

In this session, we looked at asset based valuation: liquidation valuation, accounting valuation and sum of the parts valuation. Specifically, we focused on when it makes sense to value a company by valuing its assets and what pitfalls to avoid. If you are interested in a more extensive assessment of companies like United Technologies, you may find this reading useful:

We then started our discussion of the valuation of private companies by noting how the lack of a market price for a business can affect your valuation in implicit and explicit ways, and then arguing that the value you attach to a private business can depend on why/for whom you are doing the valuation.
