Basis for Valuing Companies
Hurun Research bases its valuation of unlisted companies on a comparison with the listed counterparts of those companies using standard industry multiples like Price to Earnings, Price to Sales, EV to Sales, and EV to EBITDA.
Tobin’s Q and discounted cash flow are two other approaches that are applied. Hurun applied the First Chicago Method to some early-stage company valuations. According to the Mint report, financial data is taken from the most recent annual reports or audited financial statements.
According to Anas Rahman Junaid, MD and Chief Researcher for Hurun India, “The present list of unlisted IT businesses has not been benchmarked, and the value has not been adjusted. If the macro issues persist, we are actively contemplating depreciating some of the companies on the following list.”
