A premium to what? Your own fundamental valuation (i.e. DCF), trading peers, broker/consensus estimates?

That range of potential comparisons for your "base value" already tells you that valuation is inherently subjective. But if it's a frequently and publicly traded stock, the actual price (no matter how high the premium) is probably a good indicator of the worth of the equity. Then you add a control premium (probably in a range of 20-30% but also that can be more or less) and of course adjust for financial net debt.

 

I understand what you're saying and you're completely right however I'm just looking for in simplest terms, simple math if something is sold for 64% more than its worth and that sale price was 1.95 billion, how much should it actually be worth?

 

Et nam reprehenderit iusto delectus laboriosam. Consequuntur aut sed veniam perferendis saepe consequatur architecto. Voluptatem quam omnis eaque sed quas. Maxime ipsam fugiat quo dolores quam eveniet. Sit ea veniam dolore dignissimos totam qui ut.
