Relative Valuation , Asset base Valuation 

Comps

Trading multiples or comparable companies multiple (dependent on the business, may also use sum of the parts but that also follows using comps where each division comps are separately caclulated using peers)

Comparable transactions / precedent transactions

Would also use LBO along side with it.

In my humble experience have not come across a DDM on a football field. But never say never!
