Best books to learn Business valuation, in order
Valuation is a skill you build brick by brick. Start with the intuition, that a business is worth its future cash flows discounted for risk, then master DCF, multiples, and comparables, then cost of capital and the modeling that ties it together. An ordered path keeps you from memorizing formulas without understanding assumptions, so you can defend a number instead of just producing one, and know when the model is lying to you.
