A Few Words on Valuation There are three basic valuation methods, namely, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method Relative Valuation Method Contingent−Claim Method Values of securities rarely stay constant. Valuation is not a one−time job. Re−valuation is always needed. We usually don’t observe the discount rates. We observe prices instead and infer discount rates from changes in prices. The return is the discount rate. In a well−functioning financial market, we can estimate a discount rate for each type of security of varying degree of risk.
