Research Methodology
The field of ascertaining the appropriate valuation model is a complicated field and as such, to determine the valuation approaches deployed by analysts, primary research method can be applied in which the analysts are asked to give a brief description of the valuation models they apply. The questionnaire method may be used to collect the opinions of the analysts about various valuation methods and the ranking they assign to the various valuation models. They can also be asked for the number of models they use and the context that determines the choice of the models (Modell, 2007). The data gathered can be analyzed through the process of qualitative content analysis to identify the most preferred approaches and the context which determines the selection of the model.
Expected Results
It is expected that the analysts would, on an average basis, rarely emphasize on only one approach of valuation. They would be using different approaches (Giddy, 2006), wherein the screening would be done with methods which are easier to apply like the PE ratio, while a through valuation would be conducted by Discounted Cash Flow Valuation Methods.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, it can be concluded that valuation is not a one time process, but it is a forward looking exercise which must be conducted consistently on a periodic basis. As stated by Demirakos, Strong & Walker (2004), analysts do not rely on a particular valuation model only, but they use wide range of methods so as to ascertain the intrinsic value of the asset or the security (Shaked, 2009). The value is computed by calculating a weighted average estimate of the value from the wide range of values obtained from different methods. The choice of the model applied is contingent on various factors that relate to the purpose for which the process of valuation is being performed along with the stage of the life-cycle to which the company belongs, the dynamics and characteristics of the industry in which the company operates, and various other factors like the dividend payout patterns and policies of the company, etc.
研究方法
确定适当的估值模型领域是一个复杂的领域，例如，确定评估方法部署的分析，主要的研究方法可以应用在其中的分析师被要求提供估值模型的应用简介。调查问卷的方法可用于收集关于各种评估方法的分析和排名他们分配到不同的估值模型的意见。他们也可以要求他们使用的模型的数量和背景，确定选择的模型（模型，2007）。收集到的数据可以通过定性的内容分析法分析来确定最优选的方法和上下文确定模型的选择。
预期的结果
可以预期，分析师会，平均的基础上，很少强调只有一个评价方法。他们会用不同的方法（头晕，2006），其中放映会做的方法是更容易申请，如市盈率估值，而通过将通过贴现现金流估价方法进行了。
结论
简而言之，它可以得出结论，评估是不是一一的时间过程，但它是一个向前看的运动必须持续进行定期。正如demirakos，强和沃克（2004），分析师并不依赖于一个特定的估值模型，但它们的使用方法，以便确定范围广泛的资产或证券的内在价值（摇，2009）。该值是由不同的方法得到的值的范围广泛的计算值的加权平均估计的计算。该模型的选择取决于各种因素，涉及到的目的，评估的过程是随着生命阶段的该公司所属的，公司所在的行业动态和特点，如公司的股利政策模式和其他各种因素，等。
