Which method must use to valuate young companies

Question

Which method must we use to valuate young companies along with high growth but uncertain futures? Two illustrations were Boston Chicken and Telepizza while they began.

Answer 1

The great majority of analysts confess that this is very difficult to realize projections of flows of young companies along with uncertain futures. Although Fernández (2004) shows that we can predict a future year wherein the company would already be consolidated; which is, starting from which particular year the company must have a moderate growth.

The capitalization which year must be today’s capitalization revaluated at the needed return. If such capitalization looks reasonable, therefore today’s quotation is also reasonable. But if this looks exaggerated, so the company today is overvalued. A same method is to compute the flows essential to justify future capitalization and to weight its magnitude.
