What you will cover
Trading comparables
Building a comparables set that holds up, and knowing which multiples to trust for the business in front of you.
Precedent transactions
What acquirers have paid for similar companies, and why a control premium changes the answer.
Excel financial modelling
The model behind the number: assumptions you can defend and a layout someone else can follow.
The presentation
An investment-banking-style deck with backup slides, then a defence of your conclusions under questioning.
Prize
Three Bloomberg licences
The winning team takes three Bloomberg subscription licences, one each. It is the terminal the people interviewing you use every day.
