How is inflation reflected in company valuation? A new paper has been published on this subject: The consistent mapping of inflation expectations is important for company values and company valuation (not only) in times of high inflation rates. In an article in the Schmalenbach Journal of Business Research, Andreas Schüler and Sebastian Wünsche analyze inflation rates assumed by valuation practitioners and compare them with the expected inflation at the valuation date. The sample consists of around 260 expert opinions prepared by auditors over the past two decades. We criticize the preference for a so-called company-specific inflation rate of around 1% on average, quantify a number of value effects, show the transition from nominal to real valuation parameters and hope that increased inflation expectations will be adequately taken into account in the future.
