Matt and JL join me today to discuss the most critical aspect of valuations and what makes them different from pricing. They explain the three universal approaches to valuations and why there’s nothing wrong with having high or low valuations. They provide their thoughts on overvalued companies post-pandemic and the current state of the valuation industry. They also describe scenarios where price and value aren’t necessarily high or low.
“Capital is drying up around the world, and it is a little bit concerning.” – Matt Smith
