| Omschrijving | Assessing the success of an M&A transaction requires one to cut through the rhetoric corporate executives often use when they announce and defend a deal. It requires an analysis of the industry and strategic logic of the deal. It also requires an evaluation of the price paid (in relation to synergies) and how the company eventually delivers on its promises. Analysis of value creation requires the use of a variety of financial analyses, which, if considered in isolation, may not yield sufficient insight. It is the synthesis of multiple analyses and angles that does. In this course the student works on a case study, the first part of the portfolio, which part of the final project. Themes that are dealt with are in particular: - Industry and M&A trends in a selected industry and strategic drivers for M&A in that industry; - Analysis of the (relevance of) the stock market response to an M&A transaction at various stages in a deal: from announcement date till after the completion of integration; - Analysis of price, acquisition premium and synergies, including an analysis of the companies’ announcements and presentations, (e.g. analysts presentations and AGM presentations), financial statement analysis and research reports of financial analysts; - a critical assessment of what bidder and targets communicate about strategic rationale, financial impact and post deal performance; - The analysis and evaluation of the financial statements (pre deal and post deal) of the bidder, target, and competitors, to assess whether projected benefits of a deal have been realised. |
