"Superior equity research requires more than insightful business analysis—it requires effective company valuation. This book provides a thorough introduction to asset valuation, offering a survey of tools, practice and application."
—Scott Stewart, PhD, CFA, former Fidelity Fund Manager and Faculty Director of Boston University's Investment Management Program
"Equity Asset Valuation, Second Edition clearly explains the critical concepts and approaches to valuing stocks in a single, easily digestible book. It is sure to be useful to both students approaching the subject with relatively little experience and to more experienced practitioners looking to refresh knowledge and stay up to date. As is now typical of CFA publications, Equity Asset Valuation, Second Edition sets out a body of practical 'how to' knowledge, while at the same time drawing on and absorbing, when appropriate, more recent academic research and views. This is a very useful book."
—Steve Christie, PhD, Associate Professor, Applied Finance Centre, Macquarie University
"Equity Asset Valuation, Second Edition is comprehensive, highly readable, and replete with useful examples. It is a must read for stock market professionals and serious students of investment decision making."
