Are there any books out there on valuation that are 50 pages or less? I'm convinced the subject could be condensed down to that number of pages (or less) and still be thoroughly explained. I just haven't found anything like that yet though.
Thank you for your suggestions Affan Siddhiqui! I will add them to my reading list. This comment did receive a lot of likes for a book suggestion, so I'll definitely check them out.
@@TheSwedishInvestor thanks and by the way you're doing a great job it's tough job to just take minimum take aways from a book and present such quality content Thanks for the value your channel helps me a lot Keep growing !
The DCF bit would've worked much better with an actual example of a company. Like even just with the discount rate bit, I was unable to understand how a 15% margin results in 1000 dollars being worth 870 next year.. shouldn't that be 850? 😕
This video helped me get a raise ! I simply identified what our operation was worth evaluated the local competition ! Then evaluated our service to theirs our price to theirs . I discovered we are not i direct competition with our closest competitor because our service is superior ! We are in fact in competition with the lesser informed customer who is just driving past ! We have already secured the local communities trust with a superior service !
Reading this one right now! The "little book" series is great! The only exception is the installment about canadian real estate - that book is a sales pitch for the authors website/community! 🤣 On the other hand, The little book of valuation is great!
Some people read book and than watch your videos some, don't get to read so that's why they watch yur videos. But this video has compelled me to read the book.
I'd love to see a video of you finding a stock, putting it through your filters and then determining if its good value or not. I really wanna have some kind of metric system and process to put stocks through but I've yet to figure out what the simplest and most usefull key numbers would be
Petter Johansson I suggest going to his UA-cam channel to take his valuation class. Then go to damodaran.com where the author has valuation models to use. All you need to do is plug in the numbers. It is all free.
The way I do it is 10 years of PE (ajusted for expected growth and inflation) Plus PB ajusted for inflation I use 3%, 5% or 8% for growth depending on the type of companie and 2% inflation It seems to be a pretty good screaner at least for backwards looking performance... plus it's pretty easy to do, just one Google search away (1 per companie, about 500 per index)
Hey Vitor Schroeder Dos Anjos, thank you for sharing. Interesting stuff. Just to clarify - do you mean that you extrapolate either 3, 5 or 8% earnings growth depending on the company and then you look at where earnings would be in 10 years because of that? Then compare that to today's price?
I have had this book sitting on my shelf for about 2-3 years.. I'm gonna pick it up this week and read it cover to cover thanks to your video. It's been on my to read list but there is just so many good reads out there too.
Thanks for another great video! 2 of my favourite books are Valye investing: From Graham Buffett and Beyond and Competition demystified a radically simplified approach to business strategy. Both are by Bruce Greenwald. They focus much more on a companies strategic position in the market for valuation. It also breaks the valuation into 3 parts: assets, current Earnings power value (no growth) and in a very select instances growth. He is also very critical of DCF. He agrees with it in principle but the model is too sensitive to small errors in either growth or discount rate. I think you and your viewers would get a lot out of it - I sure have.
Summary of summary: Step 1: apply relative valuation. Look for companies in the same industry. Find companies with high earning per share and revenue growth. Step 2: apply intrinsic valuation to the candidates from step 1. Estimate the present value of futurecashflow (discounted cashflow), and divide by number of shares to get EPS. Compares the intrinsic EPS with the actual EPS to see if the company is undervalued. Biases are unavoidable but should be kept at minimum. The phase of company (growth, decline, cyclical) can impact valuation. Valuation is always wrong. Good news is, it doesn't need to be exactly correct to make good investment decision.
Owners earnings concept is first mentioned in 1986 by Warren Buffet and it does not include changes in working capital. Also in ‘buffet style’ book it is formulated as net income+non-cash-maintanence capital expenditures. Swedish Im your biggest fan pls answer this:)
Great video as usual, the little book of valuation is the first book I read about value investing, I really liked the idea of capitalazing research expenses
Sir, your channel is a gift! Consistently good content and graphics / examples. You don’t talk down to the common investor; But, you don’t make things overly easy either. You will get lots of likes; And. your subscriptions are well earned! Thank you for all the great info! It is very much appreciated. And cheers!
Both approaches have its own flaws and biases. That is why valuation practitioners should perform sensitivity analysis on major variables that likely have tremendous impacts on the target share price. For instance, cost of equity, cost of debt, terminal growth rate, high-growth rate are a few variables to be considered. Montecarlo simulation also helps solidify the valuation as well. Though the video is only about 14-minute long, it walks us through the whole book, u receive very much appreciation and I will likely to follow your channel.
That's a good addition to the summary Mam Sithsamnang! Always add a margin of safety to guard against such fluctuations in primary variables, and if the future seems like it could be pretty much anywhere, pass and go to the next stock instead.
Very nice video as usual. If you were to compare Damodaran's methods against those of Greenblatt, Buffett and Lynch, which one would you say is more pragmatic for the future and why?
Thank you and great question andagape. If you aren't willing to spend too much time on you investments (say 8+ hours per week) I'd go with Greenblatt and The Magic Formula, it's simple and should beat index investing in my opinion. If, however, you are willing to spend some time researching individual companies and industries, I'd go with Buffett and investing in wonderful companies at fair prices for the long run. Doing this will require that you enjoy the investment process, otherwise I think it will be unbearable to spend so much time researching companies :) I'm with Buffett.
It's one of the more difficult ones that I've covered, for sure. The concept of intrinsic valuation may take some time to understand, but I encourage you to try to understand it still. For me, it's one of the most useful tools for investment decisions. I recommend googling for "discounted cash flow analysis" to learn more.
Assuming you have 2 different companies, each with an intrinsic value of $100 and current price of $50. How do you decide which stock to buy? I feel that this is something the book did not explain.
Hey Mark Khoo! That will be an exceptionally rare case in my opinion, but I'd say that in this situation you should invest in both. Even if you already own 5 companies and thinking about investing in a 6h one, if these two companies rank as the 6th most interesting purchases on a discount to intrinsic value basis, you should split your money in both of them.
There are flaws in damodaran reasoning. Just the relative value approach... if you can compare a company to several other ones to pick the cheapest, you know you are picking a company that doesn't have a competitive advantage. Not the best situation if you ask me
I don’t think so. Competitive advantages show them selves by having a higher ROIC/ROE. Coca Cola can then be compared to Pepsi or a ‘no name’ cola. They do the same thing (more or less). But coke and Pepsi have a ROIC if 20% instead of 8% for the no name brands.
I think it is very important to add additional variables for a comparative analysis to be useful (step 3 in the video). I agree with Jack Strudwicke that ROIC/ROE would be a good one to add. I still think that price is the most important measurable variable though, simply because it's the most trustworthy one. If you buy at a PE of 80, you can be sure that you got a stock with a PE of 80. If you buy a stock with 20% annual earnings growth, you can't really be sure that the company can maintain that growth.
Let me rephrase. In the video you show examples of comparing companies that do pretty much the same, and buy the cheapest one. Then you go to amazon and say its not so easy to find a comparison, (i agree with you). Now, if we follow phil fisher's definition of competitive advantage, what we want would be a company like amazon, and not one that can easily be compared to others.
Agree but there are very few if any companies other than Amazon like that. Mining companies are a great example. They more or less have the same assets but depending on location it will greatly affect the returns they can achieve from these assets. For instance Australia has a lot of iron ore but is also close to China and Asia which are the major growing markets. The differences in the assets are relatively small but their competitive advantages are huge!
Do you have any videos that are practical? Almost all videos are "selling the obvious" bag of crap in these 'investing' videos. Over 5 videos on "how to calculate intrinsic value" and NONE of them actually practically teaches you how to calculate/estimate the intrinsic value of a company. Total waste of time!
Have you read security analysis or the intelligent investor? Mind you security analysis is laborious but it goes into great detail of valuing companies using the balance sheet and Income statement.
Aswath "Dono"daran has failed on valuing Amazon and tech growth stocks a million times over. He made up a staunch religion, comparable to Scientology for valuation, and tries to apply it to all different types of companies. This is his failure.
One should always be careful trying to apply the same type of model to all types of companies. Some things must go into the "too hard pile" as Buffett and Munger call it.
Haha I think the logo started as an inside joke when I was an exchange student and people thought that we had polar bears roaming the streets in Sweden. I'm hoping to be able to fake that one until we make it.
