Book Description: Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions is highly accessible and authoritative book that focuses on the primary valuation methodologies currently used on Wall Street – comparable companies, precedent transactions, DCF, and LBO analysis. These methodologies are used to determine valuation for public and private companies within the context of M&A transactions, LBOs, IPOs, restructurings, and investment decisions. Using a step-by-step how-to approach for each methodology, the authors build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. They also provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of LBOs and an organized M&A sale process.
