Transaction Comparables Valuation
In order to value a business that might be bought or sold, we learn how to look at historical acquisitions of similar businesses, to estimate a fair transaction or takeover value of a business. This session is complementary to Trading Comparables Valuation, but rather than listed peers, looks at recent historical deals where control was achieved by the buyer, to give a sense or fair value in a transaction context. This technique is used in M&A advisory and Private Equity to estimate the value of an entire business and the synergies that might be achieved by a buyer, rather than a small parcel of shares.
Learn to follow best practices in generating a forecast model and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation of a business using ‘fundamental valuation’ techniques. DCF can be used on a wide variety of business and is used by equity research and institutional investors as well as parties valuing entire businesses such as corporate or ‘strategic’ buyers/ sellers, Private Equity (PE) funds and financial sponsors and advisory firms.
Learn how financial sponsors select appropriate target businesses, the typical funding structures they use to acquire these target businesses and the way they generate a return, or IRR for their investors through a sale or ‘exit’ at the end of the LBO.
