Valuation is the process of placing a cash value on a company (or asset). Within investment banks, valuation is frequently done either by the Equity Research department or the IBD (for the purposes of selling / buying the company in question). Analysts conducting the valuation will usually use a form of comparable analysis to evaluate the financial metrics of the firm and compare it to similar ones in the market to achieve a rough valuation.
