* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Corporate evaluation has been a long-history research field, mostly in finance. There are traditional methods such as DCF, CAPM and APT, which were the most popular valuation method being used in 20th century. Nevertheless, more neoclassical theories have been brought up recently, from the perspectives of investment, pricing or other qualitative areas. Besides, the specific times in post-pandemic environment provide valuable research samples of how company keep survived during the period of declination in economic. Based on the previous traditional research as well as neoclassical and recent studies on business’ new valuation model, this article gives a more comprehensive overview and appraisal about corporate valuation theories, ranging from absolute to relative valuation models, and finally to recent neoclassical models such as EVA valuation, along with other elements that need to concern when processing corporate valuation, which might contribute to the practical use of corporation acquisition and other investor’s decisions in both capital and money market.
