The Valuations course by Kotak Stockshaala teaches how to determine the intrinsic value of a company. Across 5 modules and 20 chapters, learners study Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling, relative valuation multiples (P/E, EV/EBITDA), and fair value assessment methods used by equity analysts and professional fund managers.

Topics include intrinsic value concepts, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) modeling, relative valuation multiples (P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA), margin of safety, terminal value estimation, sensitivity analysis, and end-to-end stock assessment, organized across 5 structured modules and 20 chapters.
The course spans 5 modules and 20 chapters, progressing from valuation fundamentals to hands-on stock assessment exercises. The compact format is designed for learners who already understand financial basics and want to immediately apply valuation frameworks to Indian listed companies.
Learners develop skills in building DCF models, applying valuation multiples, estimating growth rates, determining margin of safety, comparing market price to intrinsic value, and making buy, hold, or sell decisions grounded in financial analysis rather than market sentiment.
This course gives learners the tools to independently assess a stock's fair value. By mastering DCF and relative valuation, learners can identify mispriced stocks and build a well-reasoned investment thesis, moving from speculation to conviction-based investing backed by numbers.
