Abstract
Este articulo trata de los intentos en la historia de valuar una compañía o valuar capitales desde el desarrollo de los mercados de acciones en el siglo XIX, hasta los últimos años del siglo XX. Periodo en el que se destacan dos hechos históricos que se constituyeron en catalizadores para el desarrollo de las técnicas de valuación de compañías. Se presenta una relación histórica del porque los inversionistas emplearon en determinado tiempo una u otra técnica, así se comienza con el análisis del rendimiento de dividendos que por la poca información disponible para su empleo no fue útil para enfrentar la Burbuja de los Mares del Sur, que como consecuencia hizo a los inversionistas más precavidos por lo que empezaron a emplear el valor libro para determinar la tenencia de activos de las compañías para respaldar sus paquetes accionarios. Por otra parte, el valor intrínseco fue discutido desde principios del surgimiento de los mercados de valores, sin embargo, se volvió a tocar con más fuerza después de la Burbuja de los mares del Sur y del crack de 1929. Finalmente, el método de flujos descontados se empezó a usar en 1960, pero no fue hasta la Burbuja Tecnológica de finales del siglo XX que cobro importancia como método para valuar compañías y realizar comparaciones de inversiones.
This article refers to attempts in history to value a com-pany or to value capitals, from the development of the stock markets in the 19th century, until the last years of the 20th century. Period in which two historical events took place and became the catalysts for the development of company valuation techniques. A historical relationship is presented to know why investors used one or another technique at a certain time, beginning with the analysis of the dividend yield that due to the little information available for its use was not useful to face the South Sea Bubble, which as a consequence made investors more cautious so they began to use the book value to determine the holdings of companies' assets to backtheirshare packages. On the other hand, the intrin-sic value was discussed since the beginning of the emer-gence of the stock markets, however it was played with more force after the South Sea Bubble and the crash of 1929. Finally, the discounted cash flow method began to be used in 1960, but it was not until the Technology Bubble of the late twentieth century that it gained importance as a method to value companies and make investment comparisons.
