This section covers the core foundations of corporate finance — from what investment banks actually do to the valuation methods professionals use to assess companies. Topics include financial modelling, DCF, comparable companies, and precedent transactions, as well as the role of banks in raising capital and advising on deals. The goal is to make these building blocks clear and practical, showing how they underpin not only investment banking but also investment decisions, trading strategies, and the broader functioning of global markets.
