Valuation & Asset Quality
Valuation & Asset Quality measures the fair market value of assets and the return on investment for shareholders. It activates when asset impairment risks emerge or market sentiment begins to erode equity value. The primary business impact is a decline in investor confidence, affecting capital-raising efforts and shareholder returns.
