TOP REVIEWS FROM TUTORIAL: STOCK VALUATION WITH COMPARABLE COMPANIES ANALYSIS
GREAT short course. As an amateur, i wish the intstructor would have explained the jargons a little better but then again it is not supposed to take you through depths.
Lovely project. I could understand better how ratios in valuation work, Thank you very much Coursera! Kind Regards\n\nCláudia
Quick, simple and easy to follow along with dual window format for immediately applying what you're being shown.
Excellent way to start understanding fair value calculation. (though Elon Musk may not like the example used)
