What is a company "worth"?  We are tackling this question in a multi-part series, starting with valuation 101.  We walk through the three primary methods of valuation: the discounted cash flow model ("DCF"), public comparables, and precedent transaction/acquisition comparables analysis....and explore how they fit together on what's called a Football Field.  Also, we explore the meaning behind the jargon you hear about all the time ---Iike EPS and P/E ratios --- but might not fully understand!
