company valuation
Firm's monetary worth
Company valuation is the process of determining what a business is worth, or the resulting figure itself.
Analysts use various methods—comparing to similar companies, projecting future earnings, or tallying assets—to arrive at a number.
The valuation matters for selling a business, attracting investors, or issuing stock: The startup's valuation reached two billion dollars after the funding round.
