M&A Analytics

Model the financial mechanics of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with our latest online tool.

 

With a few intuitive steps, you will get from the pre-merger valuation of the companies to the expected post-merger stock price of the acquiring firm. In the process, you will get valuable insights such as how the proposed deal structure allocates the deal value to the shareholders of the acquiring and the target firm and how the ultimate ownership structure is affected by the deal.

    IPO Analytics

    Discussion 
    The Online Tool "IPO Analytics" shows you how Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) work, what they cost, and what the value and ownership implications are. This tool allows you to model in detail the financial implications of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for the issuing firm, the selling shareholders, the underwriting syndicate (investment banks), as well as the primary investors. With a few key assumptions about the transaction, the tool helps you assess the appropriate issue price as well as the expected post-IPO stock price of the firm. To learn more about the fascinating process that converts privately held firms into public corporations, see our new module "Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)"
