valuations
Estimated monetary worths
Valuations are assessments of worth or value.
In finance and real estate, a valuation determines what something should sell for: The company's valuation exceeded two billion dollars.
The term often implies professional appraisal rather than casual estimation.
In the plural, valuations frequently appear in discussions of startups, acquisitions, and market bubbles: Tech valuations have gotten out of hand.
