Abstract

In the context of the digital transformation of industries, data assets have become an important production factor in the development of the times. However, the measurement of their value is still in its infancy, and traditional valuation methods cannot assess their true worth. Based on the income approach, this paper improves the excess earnings method by proposing the use of the XGBoost model for prediction. The final value of a company’s data assets is determined using the excess earnings rate, data asset share rate, and market value adjustment coefficient. The study also compares the value of companies with and without revenue contributions from data assets, thereby providing a reference for the valuation of data assets within the industry.
