What Are Valuations?

Stock valuation is like finding the “right price” for a company’s shares. 

Think of it as checking if you’re paying a fair price for a house – you want to know its true worth, not just the asking price.

There are two ways to do this – 

  • Absolute valuation looks at the company’s financials – its profits, cash flow, and growth (like checking the house’s condition). 
  • Relative valuation compares it with similar companies using ratios like P/E (like comparing house prices in the same neighborhood).

So, if a stock’s real value is ₹100 but it’s selling for ₹80, you might have found a bargain!
