We live in a time of uncertainty. Tariffs, inflation, and the interest rate environment pose challenges to businesses across a wide range of industries and impact their annual valuation in a number of ways. While appraisers have always contended with uncertainty, current conditions have exacerbated the challenge they face. This example driven session will examine how appraisers navigate uncertainty in their valuation reports, and how these factors impact the annual stock price.
