Mergers & Acquisitions: Analyze, Value & Execute

Master the end-to-end mergers and acquisitions process, from analyzing deal motives to valuing companies and executing merger plans. Designed for learners seeking practical skills in corporate restructuring and M&A analysis, this course explores merger types, industry life cycles, takeover strategies, synergy creation, and post-merger performance. You’ll calculate free cash flow and terminal value, apply discounted cash flow (DCF), comparable company, and transaction analysis, and evaluate break-up, asset-based, earnings-based, equity-based, and constant-growth valuation methods. You’ll also examine reverse mergers, defensive mechanisms, cash versus stock deals, acquisition costs, and cross-border mergers. Through financial modeling exercises and real-world case studies, including the IGate–Patni deal, you’ll learn to structure deal assumptions, analyze synergies, design financing mixes, forecast pro forma results, and apply earn-out models. You’ll also calculate post-merger EPS, P/E ratios, share prices, and value creation. What makes this course distinctive is its integration of M&A theory, valuation techniques, case analysis, and practical deal modeling. Enroll to build the analytical and execution skills needed to evaluate merger opportunities and develop well-structured M&A plans.
