Strengthen your ability to assess corporate value through cost of capital estimation, equity valuation, transaction analysis, financial statement analysis, and foreign currency translation. You will examine the business and financial risks that influence a firm’s cost of capital and use risk premiums, CAPM, beta, and multi-factor models to estimate required equity returns. You will also evaluate the practical challenges involved in estimating the cost of equity.

The course guides you through strategic and financial transactions, corporate actions, structured valuation frameworks, and sensitivity analysis so you can assess value creation, transaction outcomes, and effects on firm value and investor returns. You will analyze financial statements for forecasting and valuation, distinguish operating from non-operating components, assess sustainable performance, and apply currency translation methods and inflation adjustments to multinational financial statements. Designed for learners pursuing advanced investment analysis or professional finance roles, this course connects corporate valuation, financial analysis, and global reporting considerations in one applied learning experience. Enroll to build the analytical judgment needed to interpret financial evidence, evaluate corporate decisions, and make well-reasoned valuation assessments in complex professional settings.
