According to Warren Buffet, "Intrinsic value is an estimate rather than a precise figure, and it is additionally an estimate that must be changed if interest rates move or forecasts of future cash flows are revised.

With the increasing ramified economic changes, investors are the person who invests their capital in company with a view to create value on the investment.

There are several factors which need to be considered by investors before investing capital in particular stocks such as return, risk and opportunities available in market. All companies have been selected from different business sectors such as information technology, energy sector and financial market sectors. After that, in the end, Warren buffet valuation methods have been compared with other valuation methods (Andalib, Tavakolan, & Gatmiri, (2018). 

All the companies have been selected from the information technologies business sector, energy sector and financial market sector. In the end, comparisons between the Warrant buffet valuation theory and dividend discount model and PE ratio has been done (Zuzik, et al. 2018).

In this part, 10 companies from the different industry sectors have been selected (Guerrini, Vigolo, Romano, and Testa, 2018). 

Capital assets pricing model and Discount valuation method have been used to identify the value of the stocks in market (Yahoo finance, 2018).

The best investment option which would be made to have higher return and less risk in the investment option is Adavale Resources Limited. This investment option will give higher return and will be accompanied with the less risk (Please see the attached excel file) (Chan, et al. 2018).

The main reason for selecting this investment option is based on its less market price and higher PE ratio comparatively to others. The cost of capital of company is 7% which is too lower and will eventually increase the overall return on capital employed at large.

The Warren Buffet is the biggest investors who endeavoured towards creating value on his investment and investment made on the behalf of others. He analyses several factors of the market and invest capital in the positive side of the organization. He evaluates the share price, beta of company, market premium and financial leverage of company before investing capital in the company.

Before investing capital in particular company, He uses profitability, earning per share and estimation of the risk associated with the invested amount.

He analysis risk, Profitability, beta, financial leverage and other associated factors before investing capital.  It is evaluated that the intrinsic value estimates the precise figure which could be used to analysis the future value of the stocks in the near future (McMillan, (2018).

However, the employee turnover is low but the return on capital employed is reflecting positive indicator for the investment purpose.  The growth and Beta value of company is higher which might give higher risk to the investors (Marella, & Raga, 2014). 

In context with the Altium Company, Warren Buffet has shown that company has big loss but due to its intrinsic value it will have good return after 10 years (Hurley, & Johnson, (2014)

In Energy sector, Australian Oil and Gas Limited, Algae tech limited, Adex Energy and Adavale Resources Limited Company have been taken into consideration.                               It is observed that Australian Oil & Gas Limited has lower share price as compared to other companies in the same industry which will make easy for the investors to buy more stakes in company with less capital. The beta value is also low and company is showing good profitability. AS per the Warren Buffet, investors should invest capital in Australia Oil & Gas Company (Djukic, et al. 2016). 

In case of ALGAE.TEC LIMITED, the net profit margin ratio of Company has increased by 22% since last five year. The financial leverage and capital structure is very high. As per the Warren Buffet, Company will grow and offer good amount of return in future if it maintains its financial leverage (Yahoo finance, 2018).

 In case of ADX ENERGY LTD, Buffet has reveals that company will be showing stable return and will have lower return throughout the time (Hickman, & Petry, (2011).

In case of ADAVALE RESOURCES LIMITED, there will be less return available to investors as company has low amount of profitability and highly risky business (Penman, 2012).

AUSTRALIAN FINANCE GROUP LTD is also having $ 22 which also shows the variation of 11% positive since last two years. The profitability of company is also higher. Investors should invest their capital in this bank for long run (Levine, & Servos, 2017).

There are several factors such as profitability, return on capital employed, financial leverage and market share of company which also affect the investment decision of the investors (Tseng, and Chiang, 2016).

There are several factors which needs to be undertaken as per the views of the Warren Buffet (Holland, 2017).

In terms of the Return on equity

Investors should analysis the return on equity and EPS of the company.

Warren Buffet uses the two-column Valuation Methodology to identify the market value and intrinsic value of company (Dorminey, Sivakumar, & Vijayakumar, 2018). 

These all models are used to evaluate the share price of company (Tsai, 2018).

• Relative valuation
  P/E ratio is used to give the ranking to stocks or determining the undervalued and overvalued share (Andersson, et al. 2018).

Therefore, it could be inferred that Warren Buffet method is more appropriate method for the investors if they want to mitigate the possible risk and destruction of their invested capital. The Warren Buffet Method is most suitable method as compared to other method for the investors to create value on the investment (Andalib, Tavakolan, & Gatmiri, 2018).

After analysing all the details and valuation models, it could be inferred that Warren Buffet considers several factors before investing capital in particular stocks. On the other hand, other valuation models consider only two to three factors to identify whether company will grow in long run. Now in the end, it could be inferred that consideration of several factors such as profitability, return on capital employed, financial leverage and market share of company is required by the investors before investing in the particular stocks.
