Our latest post illustrating the optimistically dovish reporting of Bloomberg on the EU situation (reference

) discusses:
The beginner's corporate valuation course in Veritaseum University (see
blog.veritaseum.com/index.php/university...value-of-their-stock
) came about from a discussion that my teenage son had with me about the profits he made buying Adidas (the German athletic footwear and apparel company) stock. The stock essentially doubled this calendar year, outperforming many if not all of it's peers. As he told me his story, I noted that Nike was a bigger company with very strong growth metrics, to which he replied Adidas had just signed many promising marketing deals with Kanye West (Yeezy's), etc.

The question du jour was, "Is Adidas fairly valued, overvalued, or is the market totally missing the boat and the company undervalued?" This lesson, the accompany valuation model, and the video is the culmination of the discussion that came about from our joint efforts to answer this question.
During this course you will learn the essentials of evaluating a company and their share price. We will go over how to create a spreadsheet that uses a corporation's financial data to determine what a companies share price should be vs what it is. We build a model right in front of you that you can use for the life of owning this lesson. It is viewable online as a Google Sheets document, and downloadable as an Excel file.
We want ample and interactive student participation with this exercise, and feedback we can continue this exercise into several other companies. We are eyeing the private unicorns, Uber and Lyft as a second exercise, although those will likely be part of a totally separate learning module.

Lyft has been trying to sell itself for $9B with no takers (including Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Uber). Uber says Lyft is only worth $2B, and even then it wouldn't buy it due to anti-trust concerns. I agree that Lyft is overvalued, but by the same vein so is Uber at $68B.
Let's have the discussion, which is a segway into our Introduction to Valuation course that can be found here blog.veritaseum.com/index.php/university/gurupcate…
