About the Course

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to value a company or a stock using Comparable Companies Analysis, one of the most popular valuation techniques. This is used by equity research analysts, investment bankers, private equity professionals, and hedge fund managers throughout the world. In this project, we will work with the stock data pooled from Google Finance and financial data from Yahoo Finance to calculate the fair value per share for Tesla Inc. stock, through comparison with the stocks of GM, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW, and Honda. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We're currently working on providing the same experience in other regions. This course's content is not intended to be investment advice and does not constitute an offer to perform any operations in the regulated or unregulated financial market....

GREAT short course. As an amateur, i wish the intstructor would have explained the jargons a little better but then again it is not supposed to take you through depths.

This is a good intro course, especially for beginners with no fundamental understanding of stock valuation, but I had some difficulty following the examples 2+ years on a some things were not the same when viewing them now. I would have benefited from more in depth explanations of how to understand more about the difference bourses used in different countries and the impact of currency impact on valuation.

However, I did learn quite a bit from this and will use the basis for what I learned here to continue my own education on the topic.

idea is compelling but during last segment, alot of his formulas werent properly explained in premise of why its done that way. He was simply using his own experience to do it but better if he could explain the context better.

For e.g, Why does he use an Average for the various Multiples(it seems counterintuitive)? Why did he derive the fair value price using his formula?

thanks for consideration.

Most of the time will be spent on copy and pasting data from yahoo finance balance sheets into your google sheets when you can just find the ratios and whatnot on the yahoo finance website. You only do a bit of simple analysis and calculations at the end. Question 4 of the quiz is also wrong there was probably an error.

The instructor doesn't explain the concept of the averages that he makes because of his lack of English skills. On the other hand, the concept of Stock Valuation has been clearer to me and earned me more knowledge of how to evaluate the true valuation of a stock.

Provides a high level understanding of comparables but was expecting more double clicks/things to look out for and also the example of Tesla comparing against traditional car manufacturers wasnt the best.

Not a great explanation at the end. Not a great choice of stock as that is something of an anomaly. Could do with better, faster excel skills. quiz at the end had little to do with the material covered

Using Tesla as the anchor and comparing it to the other auto companies is inaccurate. The author is comparing a fast growing companies that sell electric vehicle + energy products (solar) to the other slower growing auto companies that sell ICE vehicle. It make sense for a fast growing company to have a high PE ratio as growth is the key focus.

This valuation making a fast growing company to be overvalued and a "Strong Sell" results is misleading.
