Hello!
This is a very broad question, but here is one way to answer it.
Valuation is a process of determining present value of an asset. Valuation can be done on stocks, bonds, options, futures, forwards, or any financial instrument. Experts use valuation for financial reporting, analysis, budgeting, M&A, to determine tax, etc.
Hope this helps!
