Abstract
In a modern and continuously evolving economic environment, determining the
value of a business is a constant effort and the achievement of a well-functioning
operation is necessary to improve performance and ensure sustainability. In recent
years, entrepreneurship presents significant changes as a result of global economic
and business environment changes.
Financial analysis is an important strategic tool for the stakeholders
and shareholders, as well as the managers and owners of a business, as it enables
them to come to useful conclusions about its operation and through them to be led
in making investment and operational decisions.
The purpose of this dissertation is to present the evaluation methods used in
recent years and the case study of “Hellenic Petroleum” group of companies. The
choice of this company was mainly for two reasons: first, because it is listed on the
Athens Stock Exchange and secondly, because it holds the majority of the market
shares in the oil refinery industry.
To achieve this, the paper is divided into two sections. The first part of the thesis
refers to the meaning of valuation and major analyzing methods used in recent
decades. The second part analyses “Hellenic Petroleum” company using its
published financial statements and some evaluation methods presented in part I.
