This is the first of four sessions in a two-day valuation class that I taught on July 10 & 11, 2023, for the Trim MBA program in New York. You can get the slides and other information related to this class by going to the link below:

In this session, I lay out the broad themes of valuation, including my belief that valuation is a craft (not an art or a science), the difference between value and price, how every valuation is built on a story and why acting on valuations requires faith.
