Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- While traditional business valuations have treated cash flow as the ultimate metric for gauging success, many of today's companies focus more on the size of their user community than their bottom line. Responding to evolving perspectives, newer valuation models attempt to assign value to individual consumers, but these models involve a series of assumptions and generalizations that do not always withstand scrutiny. Using Uber as a case study, this session will compare and contrast user-based valuation models with more traditional discounted cash flow (DCF) models, identifying where they converge and diverge.

his thinking is so clear
Insane, best content I watched this year by far. Everyone should watch this.
Can’t believe this valuable information is free
I love how informative this is. Thank you.
Great session - he touched briefly on "mixed model" companies - I'd love to understand his perspective there.
This was a real treat for me.
Wonderful video from the guru of valuation. I think SHOP has it to become the next big thing in tech with all it's SMB as well as enterprise level merchants. This is one of those rare gems that doesn't get talked often due to their existence away from silicon valley.
In hindsight, this is spot on. Well done
@@mcfadden139 Thanks. I still think Shopify is on the path to become one of the largest publicly traded companies over the coming decade. Although the path won't be that easy as it was over the past 5 years.
He broke it down with his original, signature model/approach and not once mentioned lifetime customer value
Great stuff-thanks for sharing
The G.O.A.T
Amazing!! Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Aswath's presentation?
Will not sleep in such a teacher's class.. no wonder why these kind of teachers are in so high demand even for a hour of lectures
Great Vid!
Aswath, what about the user value for their data itself? Do you price in the user information sold to marketers or industry specialists as predictive information?
I would like to know what the guesstimates are now that they have expanded into food delivery
How can I get a ticket to the next conference??
Better than dancing cats. Much better.
I just got his book "Investment Valuation" (university edition) in the mail. It's phat.
nice.
This was informative. Is there any way we could get the slides?
Yes. Screenshot.
I just wished he was my university lecturer....how different things would be?
Mr. Damodaran, I don´t understand why, in Backing into OperatingExpenses, youadd Net Revenues to Operating losses. Could you please explain me?.
Thanks in advance
You should value uber based on its CAC : CLV ratio and the strategic value of its data assets.
I like that he wipes out the BS
He is bringing the hidden bullshit in tech companies out in open. Kudos

@@ritishsachdeva2570 after a year of consideration, i believe the former was correct
I wonder How many VCs tried to make him partner!
4 stupid investment bankers disliked this video.
Users are money making tools, company has to take Care of them
He missed the point of replacing drivers with autonomous vehicles which will make UBERs numbers A LOT better.
It can never happen as the uber itself does not own any vehicle so, the person who owns it has the power to automate the vehicle or not .as for automation in general for car sector it might possible that in future car become totally automated but the uber is not in car service business but it is car ride service business so automated car will no use to the uber . The revenue would be depend on no. Of users and on no. Of drivers as the cut for drivers are same of high as the automated car could have more maintenance charge than present one.
Exactly why the stock is so trading much higher than his evaluation: Many people think that a driverless car taking you from point A to point B is somehow going to happen in reality.
Strange, SAC/LTV/NFX is nothing new yet he never mentions those terms and peddles this as novel research after talking to an old friend, yet every concept he mentions is exactly that and reworded.
Mr. Aswath Damodaran got it all prioritized wrong. The real value of users/subscribers in the new age or 21st century is of data! We don't even know how much useful information we will be able to extract from that much data in future, and it's not that we are realizing our potential regarding that, even at present!
