Joe Ori is a brilliant individual in this subject matter. A very detailed presentation for an advanced student. The valuation models are relevant and the cautions in valuations presented towards the end of the hour were an awesome insight.

Course was a good summary of the 4 valuation models. Presenter provided equations, insight on model types, a sample company using each model, and key points of issues with each model. Overall, good course on essentials of topic.

This course was a good, quick paced overview of the various valuation formulas and mechanics. All the inputs are provided and you learn the mechanics of the formulas. The real challenge in practice is determining the inputs.

Good course though I found it to be a bit dry. I thought it would be useful if the course provided more detail on how each ratio was to be best used vs. going into the specific detail of how to do the actual calculations.

Covers a good amount of ground relative to a 1 hour primer on corporate valuation. Well constructed outline. Consider adding a brief comment about liquidity premiums in the CAPM portion of the WACC for a private firm.

Excellent presentation with relevant information on current models used for valuation of public as well as private companies. I only wish that there had been examples that that would have required hands-on analysis.

Good overview, especially if you are already familiar with some of the concepts. Additional discussion on valuing a private could be helpful as well as examples of comps analysis.

This is a very good introductory course that is easy to follow and contains a very good Module III that illustrates with numbers what was taught earlier in the course.
Joseph Ori made this presentation in a way that was thorough and comprehendible. Great course overall, the PDF was a great way to follow along to the video.
