Course Contents
- Introduction to Mergers and Acquisitions
- It is true that we live in uncertain and volatile times—times that have destroyed or consumed more than a few of the most legendary Wall Street institutions. However, one thing will remain a constant in the long-term—the need for skilled finance professionals with strong technical expertise. Companies will always seek counsel from experienced and independent professionals to analyze, structure, negotiate, and close deals as they navigate the market and take advantage of value-creating opportunities.
This course is for students interested in pursuing opportunities in Investment Banking. Students will learn the art and science of investment banking. The course will cover topics on valuation, M&A, strategy and negotiations. All these ingredients are vital for being a successful investment banker.
- Identifying Comparable Companies
- An important part of M&A is to find comparable companies from the global list of companies. This allows the banker to compare the performance of the target company to that of other companies in the same or similar space. This is important in establishing valuation benchmarks. It is more of an art than a science as this chapter will explain.
- Share Dilution
