McKinsey & Company's #1 best-selling guide to corporate valuation, now in its sixth edition

Valuation is the single best guide of its kind, helping financial professionals worldwide excel at measuring, managing, and maximizing shareholder and company value. This new sixth edition provides insights on the strategic advantages of value-based management, complete detailed instruction, and nuances managers should know about valuation and valuation techniques as applied to different industries, emerging markets, and other special situations. The accompanying DCF model download allows you to complete computations automatically for error-free analysis and valuation of real companies. The model ensures that all important measures, such as return on investment capital and free cash flow are calculated correctly, so you can focus on the company's performance rather than computational errors.

Valuation lies at the crossroads of corporate strategy and finance. In today's economy, it has become an essential role―and one that requires excellence at all points. This guide shows you everything you need to know, and gives you the understanding you need to be effective.

Estimate the value of business strategies to drive better decision making
Understand which business units a corporate parent is best positioned to own
Assess major transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, and restructurings
Design a capital structure that supports strategy and minimizes risk

As the valuation function becomes ever more central to long- and short-term strategy, analysts and managers need an authoritative reference to turn to for answers to challenging situations. Valuation stands ahead of the field for its reputation, quality, and prestige, putting the solutions you need right at your fingertips.
