The theory of investment value

Book • 1938
John Burr Williams's "The Theory of Investment Value" is a foundational text in finance that introduced the concept of intrinsic value and its application to investment decision-making.

The book lays out a framework for valuing assets based on their expected future cash flows, discounted back to their present value.

This approach, known as discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, remains a cornerstone of modern financial valuation.

Williams's work emphasizes the importance of considering a company's future earnings potential and the risks associated with those projections.

The book's rigorous approach to valuation has had a lasting impact on the field of finance and investment.
