This book is awesome. It offers incredibly comprehensive and insightful methods for rearranging financial statements into key drivers of firm value. It also teaches you how to apply those drivers to create a forecast for the future. Individual chapters are dedicated to the more complex concepts. This is a great resource for an aspiring or practicing analyst.

Have used the book for years and this may be the best update yet. The case studies alone are simply fascinating. The global nature make it invaluable for everyone in business anywhere. New discussions on return on capital and growth are must-read.

It was suggested as reference book for my course. Once you start reading this book, you will get involved in concepts. Authors have used real world examples and very methodical in approaching the concepts.

My only complaint is that I did not buy this book earlier. I really found the content excellent and laid out in a helpful style, with plenty of illustrations so I could test my understanding of the words. Some of the more complex formulae (especially towards the end) lost me, but that was not a fault of the authors ~ more the reader. For any but the most experienced, this seems to be the best book on Valuation I have read, let alone bought and I have been in this market for over 30 years. Many of the concepts are well known, especially in the first part of the book ~ Fundamental principles ~ but even there, the wealth of detail and illustrations kept the text fresh and interesting. The second part was a excellent drive through the practical aspects of valuing a business and was followed, in the third group of chapters, by a review of Value Creation Principles. This is all good stuff and culminated in the last section with a number of more complex but practical examples and case studies. The only chapter I thought did not advance my knowledge & add value, was that on "Investor Communications"; not up to the standard of the rest of the book, was it written by an associate? Congratulations to Mr. Koller and his co-authors, they certainly offer value for money with this edition ~ its more than just a book on Valuation. Buying the Valuation Model case study CD adds value, but I found the links not atall easy, but a phone call solved the problem.

This is it.....do not need additional book info on Valuations. Only practical experience can add to the respective work.

I work in the M&A field and use the books goodies every day.
