A holding company typically does not have its own business operations other than the retention and management of assets in anticipation of future sale or trade or may be as a part of its corporate structure. The holding company thus derives its income primarily through the return on assets held for investment purpose. To be particular, income of holding company is only the dividends received by it from the investments made in other companies.

What is Relative Valuation? Mr. Chander Sawhney Vice President +9810557353 chander@indiacp.com Relative valuation uses the valuation ratios of comparable publicly traded companies and applies that ratio to the company being valued subject to necessary adjustments. The valuation ratio typically expresses the valuation as a function of a measure of financial performance or Book Value Multiples (e. g. Revenue, EBITDA, EBIT, EPS or Book Value). Relative Valuation technique hinges upon the efficient market theory which indicates that the price of exchanged securities in the market reflects all readily available information, as well as the supply and demand effects of educated and rational buyers and sellers. In other words, the market is continuously evaluating each company and expressing that valuation in bids and offers for its stock. Please read the whole article on Slideshare...
