Valuation

Valuation is the process of estimating the economic value of a company or asset, often expressed as enterprise value or equity value and supported by methodologies like comps, precedents, and discounted cash flow. In venture capital and M&A, Valuation drives price per share, dilution, and return expectations, and Valuation can be influenced by market conditions, growth, margins, and capital structure.
