Quantifying risk is essential in any valuation analysis and no easy task. While the result is only one input in a valuation analysis, getting it wrong can make or break an investment decision or materially impact a valuation conclusion. While corporate finance theory has established some generally accepted approaches for calculating cost of capital, multiple complex models have been developed to establish the required inputs, and numerous books and articles have been published on this topic. It remains one of the most complex corporate finance principles today.
