Equity Capital Markets: Analyze & Forecast IPOs
Build practical expertise in equity capital markets (ECM) and learn how companies raise capital through IPOs, venture capital, follow-on public offerings (FPOs), qualified institutional placements (QIPs), and rights issues. You’ll examine ECM’s role in corporate finance, early-stage financing, and the benefits and risks of going public. You’ll then explore book building, regulatory registration, IPO pricing strategies, underpricing, marketing, underwriting agreements, and alternative methods of issuing shares.
As you progress, you’ll compare global IPO practices and regulatory frameworks while developing core valuation and forecasting skills. You’ll calculate cost of capital and valuation multiples, apply WACC, EBITDA, P/E, and DCF methods, construct IPO models using defined assumptions, and forecast financial performance through case-based exercises.
Designed for finance professionals, finance students, and aspiring investment bankers, this course offers a structured path from ECM fundamentals to IPO analysis and final valuation. Its end-to-end approach uniquely connects corporate finance, issuance methods, pricing, regulation, taxation, forecasting, and valuation in one practical learning journey. Enroll to analyze equity offerings, evaluate IPO opportunities and risks, assess shareholder impact, and build informed IPO valuations for diverse global contexts.
