Difficult to use, disorganized.......2007-04-12

I used this book for an MBA finance class but I am not keeping it as a reference. I felt it was convoluted and badly organized. It was difficult to look up subjects using the index when you wanted to just crack the book and find a formula or look for something specific. Since that's what I would do if I kept the book as a reference, the value for me is not there. I'm looking for a different book that is better organized and easier to understand for my reference book.

Thanks you.......2007-02-12

This is a review of only the CD - i.e., Excel model.......2006-03-28

Let me say that I like the McKinsey model and use it a lot to value certain companies. Overall, I found that the Results section of the model really helped me understand the detailed nuances of the McKinsey model, especially given that the book itself is sometimes vague.

I gave the CD product 4 stars, instead of 5 stars, because I felt that:

1) The PDF instructional manual on using the model is woefully inadequate.
2) There were a few serious errors in the model.
3) The model took the easy way out on a lot of difficult valuation items.

1. The PDF manual is woefully inadequate. Reading it, you think the model is self-explanatory, but it really isn't. You have to really study the numbers to understand what assumptions the model wants you to make. In this regard, the book is marginally helpful, the examples in the book is slightly more helpful. In many cases, I had to turn to other valuation texts to figure out a few things.

2. The model is for the most part, error-free. But I did catch two calculation errors that I will share, so that others can avoid the pain. First, in the Forecast Drivers tab, there is a data row called Capex. It looks back at the optional Capital Expenditure line as an off-balance sheet item in 'Historical Data.' This is inconsistent with the book's data driven approach and specification that CapEx = change in Net PPE + Depreciation. You may want to recorrect the Capex formula to specify this. Why the model asks us to manually specify the Capital Expenditures in Historical Data, I have no idea.

Another error I saw is in the Results tab. In the Ratios section, there is one called 'Enterprise value / EBITA'. If you look at the formula, it points to EBIT. You need to correct this by having it point to Reported EBITA.

3. I think the model takes the easy way out on a lot of the most difficult items. For example, the book advocates treatment of R&D as a capitalized asset, and yet the model excludes this entirely. The book advocates dealing with the market value of debt, but the model just incorporates the book value of debt. The model leaves as an entry item the value of the lease as a balance sheet item, when it you could easily just as well incorporate extensions to model this. This is the same for options, convertible debt, customer receivables, unutilized/discontinued assets, etc.

Basically, the book is aggressive in advocating a firm estimation of operational value, NOA value, and Debt/DE claims, but the model is much less ambitious.

This does not make the model useless. It's a great data-driven model. It just requires the user to build sophisticated extensions to deal with the most complicated parts. At the same time, this is no cheap model. They are probably making lots of money on it. I would have expected the folks at McKinsey to provide extensions to handle the most complicated aspects of valuation, in addition to the core items.

Good intro but that is it.......2007-08-03

This is a good intro to give the basics of valuation for "old economy" businesses. It determines the valuation of companies based almost exclusively on their cash flow over the previous few years to the analysis. Unfortunately it ignores too many issues that play an extremely important role in valuation. For example, the quality, background, knowledge of management, the products the company manufactures, the markets for these products, macroeconomic conditions, intellectual property, market position (i.e., oligopolistic? Is entry/exit difficult in the industry?). Not one of these issues is even touched upon!!! The authors seem to be implying that these issues are irrelevant!! Only the cash flow over the previous few years applied forward (i.e., discounted for present value) matters according to the book!!! Perhaps this type of mentality explains why the overwhelming majority of mergers and acquistions fail!!!!

Nothing spectacular.......2006-04-03

Unfortunately, for all the name brand that this book conveys, I think the cover seems to be the most intriguing part. There are much better ways for book peddling and the fact that a firm such as McKinsey allowed their name on the title of a book for the sake of a few sales, boggles this readers mind. The subject matter seems to be along the lines of the bull session with all bull and no session. No actual quantitative analysis is used throughout the book, and if anything more than an encyclopedic definition is learned from this book, I would be astounded. Save some money and go search online for some basic books on beginning valuation. By the way, those giving 5 stars either can't read English very well or are shills for McKinsey.

Waste of Time.......2005-04-12

Any book by Damodaran is far better for business managers and portfolio managers.

For portfolio managers, estimating the cash-flows is a small part of the valuation process, the easiest. As the financial field and practice is becoming more and more quantitative, the cutting edge of asset pricing is to estimate time-varying risk premiums. Actually, almost 90% of variation in stock prices come from risk shifts, not from news on company cash-flows.

If you are interested in asset pricing i would suggest a mix of damodaran (20%) and "Asset Pricing" by John Cochrane (80%).

Good but bad Excel support.......2004-01-29

I liked this book. In Russia it is one of the most popular books on valuatuion. But when I can get the perfect excel support for Investment Valuation by Aswath Damodaran or good web support for Valuation Methods and Shareholder Value Creation by Pablo Fernandez, I ask the authors, why don't they put supporting material in disk? I think that the price of their sowtware ($94.50) is too high compairing with the book ($56 with discount), because there is no supporting materials - only 1 spreadsheet (from my point of view does not conform to McKinsey, as the leader of consulting business). I hope, for the 4-th edition we will have a good excel support.

User-unfriendliness at its best.......2003-01-11

Hmm I wonder if those giving this book five stars actually work for McKinsey. As a practioner, I don't know anyone in the industry who has actually read this book. It looks impressive on the bookshelf, but the content is anything but impressive. A lot of topics are covered, but each one only superficially and the writing is extremely dry and boring. I actually found reading this volume *painful*, and I'm supposed to like this stuff since I do it for a living! My advice for any potential buyer is read a few chapters first before you shell out for it.

Financial planning is a young industry. The International Association of Financial Planning - one of the predecessors to the Financial Planning Association - was formed less than forty years ago. But as the profession's first tier of advisers reaches maturity, the decisions that may be part of transition planning for their firms loom large. A sale? A partner buyout? A merger? No matter what the choice, its viability hinges on one critical issue - the value of the firm. Unfortunately, many advisers - whether veteran or novice - simply don't know the worth of their practice or how to influence it. That's why "How to Value, Buy, or Sell a Financial-Advisory Practice" is such an important book. It takes advisers carefully through the logic and the legwork of coming to a true assessment of one of their most important personal assets?their business.

A Great Acquisition !.......2004-01-22

This book is a terrific read for any business person who has been, will be, or wants to be in Mergers and Acquisitions. Tom Taulli does a great job educating and advising the reader. This is a must have book for investment bankers, business brokers and dealmakers, but especially for executives of companies who are considering selling or acquiring other businesses.

A Must read for any M&A Professional.......2004-01-11

The Complete M&A Handbook is a great read. I plan on buying several copies to hand out to clients. The explanations are very clear and concise. Yet detailed enough for a professional to put in the tool box for reference.

M & A for Dummies (and Experts, too).......2004-01-01

Tom Taulli is the expert that has taken a complex, multi-layered technical subject and put it in a form that all M&A participants can easily read, easily understand and easily put to immediate and extensive use. I am an educated, experienced Venture Capitalist and M&A intermediary professional that has learned lots of new techniques and tips from Tom, while having a thoroughly enjoyable time reading about a subject that is not new to me. I'm sending all my clients and business associates a copy of Tom's book, as it will enhance their knowledge about how to do business in M&A and encourage a higher degree of professionalism, effectiveness and efficiency in an otherwise complex and confusing process. Tom makes understanding M&A easy, or at least much less mysterious. Book is a great reference source for those that have questions about the process while engaged in M&A, regardless of their role in the process. BUY IT! You will use it for years.

introduces the key ideas like Black-Sholes option modelling.......2006-06-06

Starting from scratch, assuming just a basic knowledge of calculus and the summation of series, Choudhry explains important ideas about how securities and derivatives are priced. Crucial concepts like how to model interest rates, and the various models that do exist for this purpose, are also gone into. This is built upon with the use of interest rate swaps, of varying complexity.

For options, there is the seminal Black-Scholes model. It is shown to be easy to understand, resting on the assumption of a Weiner process for the asset pricing. More elaborate option modelling is possible, and several of these are discussed.

Really good for newbie.......2005-12-31

By saying newbie, I mean at least you should know some basic terminology like duration, convexity, interest rake risk, etc. It's really for those who have some basic knowledge on fixed income securiteis and want to explore more in depth. I personally read some chapters from Fabozzi's handbook, and feel like it's not very technical oriented and I prefer this one.

Haven't finished reading yet, but so far, very comprehensive, concise and lucid.

This book wasn't bad, especially for the price, but there are better ones out there. ("The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business" for example.) About half the book is special situations or special types of companies, which is great if you happen to be one of those but not if you aren't. This book did cover the basics of business valuation, but I actually found it more useful for looking at the value of a business as a tool to improve its operations.
