Abstract
This article investigates the creation and monitoring of the fundamental value of a company, the methods of its valuation, and capital market responses to changes of the fundamental value. The author uses the basic theory of discounted cash flows as his main theoretical model. This theory states that the investment value equals the net present value of future cash flows that is created as a result of this investment. Other theories referred to in the article are derived from the aforementioned model. The article contains an empirical analysis of correlation dependence between the fundamental value and the market capitalization. The figures obtained from international companies during a 5-year time period showed that the highest indices of fundamental value increase were used as output data. The article argues that the total business return has the highest correlation index with respect to a company’s market value. The reasons affecting the results of the empirical research have been analyzed. The author gives some recommendations on the appreciation of a company’s market value.
