Year-end 2019 data are now available in BVR’s Cost of Capital Professional. The new update provides business valuers with current cost of equity, cost of debt, and WACC numbers, including:

• risk-free rates;
• industry risk premia;
• equity risk premia;
• betas for CAPM calculations; and
• size premia.

CCPro gives analysts the flexibility to choose the start year for historical return data based on which business cycle best offers a reasonable basis to make estimates of expected future returns. In addition, CCPro will be adding a small and micro-stock size premia split during the 2nd quarter to provide better support for risk analyses when valuing very small businesses.
