The valuation a buy side analyst does every day: the right multiple for the business, an earnings model built from the filings, what ROIC and growth are worth, sector lenses, sum of the parts, cyclicals, and the math of buybacks and deals.

  1. 1Which multiple, and whyEvery multiple is a shortcut for a cash flow. Pick the one whose denominator is closest to the cash the business really produces, and use it the same way across peers.8 min
  2. 2The earnings model, line by lineProA hedge fund model is built to answer one question: where will earnings land against consensus? Build it from the filings, drive it with a few KPIs, and know which line moves EPS most.10 min
  3. 3ROIC, growth, and the multipleProGrowth is worth something only when each dollar reinvested earns more than it costs. One formula ties return on capital, growth, and the multiple together.9 min
  4. 4Sector lenses: banks, REITs, software, energyProSome sectors break the usual tools. Know the one metric each uses instead and why.9 min

  1. 5Sum of the parts and the holding company discountProWhen segments deserve different multiples, value each one and add them up. Then explain why the market has not, and what would close the gap.10 min
  2. 6Cyclicals and normalized earningsProFor a cyclical, this year's earnings say more about the cycle than about the business. Value it on what it earns through the cycle, and expect P/E to look backwards at the turns.9 min
  3. 7Capital allocation mathProWhat management does with cash can add or destroy more value than operations. Know when a buyback is accretive, when a deal earns its cost, and how to tell the difference.10 min
