Company valuations in times of low interest rates

Valua­tion issues are among the most diffi­cult busi­ness manage­ment issues that compa­nies and their consul­tants have to deal with in their daily prac­tice. The valua­tion occa­si­ons and also valua­tion objects can be very diffe­rent. In short, every evalua­tion is diffe­rent! Since a company valua­tion some­ti­mes invol­ves funda­men­tal decis­i­ons of a long-term and stra­te­gic nature, the pitfalls of a company valua­tion must always be present. A major chall­enge for company valua­tions at present is the prolon­ged period of low inte­rest rates.
