Market-based valuation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Market-based valuation is a form of stock valuation that refers to market indicators, also called "extrinsic" criteria (i.e., not related to economic fundamentals and account data, which are "intrinsic" criteria).

[edit] Examples of market valuation methods

Technical analysis is the most characteristic market-based method, although it focuses more on timing than pricing.

Also, rough market comparison tools such as the PE ratio and the PEG ratio are used.

More sophisticated forms of analysis (fundamental analysis, quantitative analysis and behavioral analysis) use also some market criteria, such as

the risk premium,
the beta coefficient,

Those criteria might be "tilted" in some valuation models in order to anticipate their possible variation in the next future or to adapt them to their historical statistical range or mean
