Mastering CFA Equity Valuation: Dividend Discount Models | Live Problem Solving

📅 Published: January 9, 2026 🎥 YouTube Video

Join me for a live CFA Level I problem-solving session on equity valuation, where we’ll work through dividend discount models (DDM), the Gordon Growth Model, and P/E ratio–based valuation step by step. We’ll focus on how to set up the formulas, rearrange them to solve for price, required return, or growth, and interpret what the results actually mean for the exam.

Whether you’re struggling with constant-growth vs. multi-stage DDM, finding justified P/E from fundamentals, or linking valuation inputs back to the curriculum theory, this session will help you master the core concepts and tackle real CFA Level I exam-style questions with confidence.

I’m Ryan O’Connell, CFA, FRM, and I’ll walk you through a structured approach to solving these valuation problems efficiently, making sure you understand both the math and the intuition behind each concept.
