Written by the Founder and CEO of the prestigious New York School of Finance, this book schools you in the fundamental tools for accurately assessing the soundness of a stock investment. Built around a full-length case study of Wal-Mart, it shows you how to perform an in-depth analysis of that company's financial standing, walking you through all the steps of developing a sophisticated financial model as done by professional Wall Street analysts. You will construct a full scale financial model and valuation step-by-step as you page through the book.

When we ran this analysis in January of 2012, we estimated the stock was undervalued. Since the first run of the analysis, the stock has increased 35 percent. Re-evaluating Wal-Mart 9months later, we will step through the techniques utilized by Wall Street analysts to build models on and properly value business entities.

  • Step-by-step financial modeling - taught using downloadable Wall Street models, you will construct the model step by step as you page through the book.

    • Concepts are reiterated and honed, perfect for a novice yet detailed enough for a professional.
    • Model built direct from Wal-Mart public filings, searching through notes, performing research, and illustrating techniques to formulate projections.
