Valuation

Why Valuation Matters

Even a wonderful business can be a poor investment if purchased at an unreasonable price.

Valuation helps investors avoid overpaying and identify situations where the market price may be below reasonable business value.

Margin Of Safety

Margin of safety means leaving room for error. Because every valuation is uncertain, investors should prefer situations where the price gives them protection if their estimate is imperfect.
