	Resolution Economics – Services – Stock Valuation
		Resolution Economics also provides stock option valuations for employers seeking assistance in valuing the stock options that may be awarded to new hires or current employees.
		While regular earnings and bonuses can be expected to be within a specified range, the value of the stock options are dependent on the questions of when the options would be exercised and when the exercised shares would be sold.
		As more stock options are awarded to employees below the executive ranks, there has been a significant increase in employment litigation where losses related to stock options are included as an element of damages.

	Adams Capital, Inc. - Option Valuation Services
		The value of options must also be disclosed in proxy statements and financial statement footnotes.
		First, the company’s value must be determined by performing detailed financial analysis of the company and of comparable publicly traded companies.
		Many companies reward their employees with stock options or bonus shares, which are taxable on issuance or at exercise.

	Valuation (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valuations can be done on assets (e.g., investments in marketable securities such as stocks, options, business enterprises, intangible assets such as patents and trademarks) or on liabilities (e.g., bonds issued by a company).
		For example, options are generally valued using the Black-Scholes model while the liabilities of life assurance firms are valued using the theory of present value.
		In finance, valuation is the process of estimating the market value of a financial asset or liability.

	Campbell R. Harvey's Identifying Real Options
		The option valuation framework is particularly useful to the corporate strategist because it provides an integrative analysis of both operating and financial options associated with the combined investment and financing decisions.
		The topic of real options applies the option valuation techniques to capital budgeting exercises in which a project is coupled with a put or call option.
		Shutdown options are also valuable in farming (where they may be exercised if the cost of fertilizing, watering and harvesting exceeds the sale price of the product) and real-estate development (where they may be exercised if the cost of construction exceeds rent revenues).

	Option pricing models (Black-Scholes model & Binomial model) & Calculators
		The option prices at each step are used to derive the option prices at the next step of the tree using risk neutral valuation based on the probabilities of the stock prices moving up or down, the risk free rate and the time interval of each step.
		Both models are based on the same theoretical foundations and assumptions (such as the geometric Brownian motion theory of stock price behaviour and risk-neutral valuation).
		And you can also use the on-line stock price probability calculator to look at the probabilities of stock prices exceeding upper and lower boundary prices-- both at the end of a specified number of days and at any time during the period.

		Please note how the entire option pool is included in the computation of the valuation although not all options in the pool have been granted, and not all options granted have been exercised.

	CFO Europe
		Real options analysis is based on the observation, first made more than 20 years ago, that a company evaluating an existing asset or potential investment is in much the same position as the holder of a financial option, such as those written on stocks or commodity prices.
		Real options practitioners have to overcome two major obstacles: first, they have to find a number to put on the real option value; and second, they have to persuade their organisations to change the way they think about valuation and investment.

	Optimize Magazine > Financial Management > Real Options, Real Opportunities > January 2002
		Real assets can be evaluated using techniques developed for financial options, such as the Black and Scholes model (a mathematical holy grail for determining the fair value of options that earned its creators the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics), or the Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein methodology, also a form of option valuation.
		Real options offer another valuable comparison with financial investing: that holding a diverse portfolio of stocks is less risky than owning one stock.
		Three things influence the price of stock options: the spread between the current price and the exercise price, the length of time for which the option is good, and the volatility of the stock in question.

	Stock Option Valuation
		In practice, the value that matters for people who hold employee stock options is the subjective value of the option: the value of the option to you.
		The value of a stock option is the sum of its intrinsic value and its time value.
		Remember, the theoretical value of the option may be quite a bit higher, but $6,000 is a reasonable figure for the value of the option to you.

	Real Options : : About the Book : : Endorsements
		This book provides and excellent introduction to this "real options way of thinking." The authors eschew a highly mathematical approach, and instead present the concepts behind real options analysis in simple, intuitive terms in order to appeal to a wider audience.
		I would highly recommend this book to people who are similarly frustrated by their current management tools, which fail to capture the nuances of the strategic decisions they face.
		While a real options approach may be intuitive for technology firms, the authors illustrate its application to valuing startup firms, vacant land, oil exploration, and licensing.

	Net Stock Valuation Calculator
		If you think that the expected discount rate on the stock should be.10 per year, then the 159 million shares outstanding (assuming that no options are exercised) have a value today of about $37.
		Since the payoff from investing in a growth stock is some years in the future, it is necessary to discount the future value of the stock to find out what it is worth today.
		This means that the "upside" of the stock could be spread among at least 210 million shares, not 159.

	The Fed Model And Stock Valuation: What It Does And Does Not Tell Us
		This dynamic may explain why the bulls have had an easier ride, since many asset allocation models are driven by Fed Model valuations or some variation of it, and that would indicate a shifting to stocks from bonds.
		When the stock market was reaching record new highs in 1999 and 2000, many stock valuation models began sounding the alarm - flagging what in hindsight proved to be an extremely overvalued stock market.
		So stocks are still "cheap." But when we take a look at absolute value comparisons, such as the earnings yields of the SandP 500 relative to past levels, we get a very different story.
