Stock valuation is the process of determining the theoretical or intrinsic value of a company's stock. It's a critical skill for anyone involved in the financial markets, as it helps in making informed investment decisions by identifying whether a stock is potentially overpriced, underpriced, or fairly valued relative to its perceived worth. Understanding stock valuation allows investors and financial professionals to look beyond the current market price, which can be influenced by short-term market sentiment and supply and demand dynamics, and instead focus on a company's fundamental performance and growth prospects.
