Jacob's Reviews > The Little Book of Valuation: How to Value a Company, Pick a Stock and Profit

This is a very good summary of valuation techniques for investment purposes, but after the introduction it reads like a textbook. Thank heavens it's short! Thy dry writing is in part due to its efficiency; this would be a good book to use for reference unless you already have references you like for this. The chapters cover the basic approaches to valuing companies that are young, growing, stable, and declining, as well as adjustments for companies in special categories such as financial services, cyclical or commodity businesses, and intangible value. Both intrinsic and relative valuation techniques are explored and examined for their assumptions and helpfulness.

If you don't have good references for business valuation already (and want one), look it over!
