Description
Accounting for Value by Stephen H. Penman offers a fresh approach to evaluating equity investments. By focusing on the fundamental principles of accounting, Penman shows that valuation and accounting are closely linked: it's about accounting for value. Penman returns to common-sense investing ideas, such as price being what you pay but value being what you get, and the risk in investing being the risk of paying too much. He provides practical tools for intelligent investors, helping them avoid overpaying for stocks and understand the likely return on growth investments. This book also offers a new perspective on calculating costs and understanding stock returns. By combining accounting principles with quantification, Penman equips investors to think like accountants, better equipped to navigate market fluctuations.
