Short-Form M&A Modeling

Learn M&A theory and then build a short-form M&A model, with an emphasis on accretion-dilution

Overview

Participants will construct a streamlined M&A model while diving into the core principles of deal analysis. The session highlights critical drivers such as accretion/dilution impact and assessing deal feasibility through ability-to-pay metrics.

  • Key assumptions and drivers needed to build a short-form M&A model
  • Building a flexible sources and uses of funds table
  • Stock vs. cash financing
  • Relative P/E’s: acquirer P/E vs. debt P/E vs. acquisition P/E
  • Earnings accretion/dilution analysis
  • Sensitivity analysis
  • Synergies-to-break-even analysis
  • Analysis at various prices
  • Ability to pay analysis
