NBA 5850 - Advanced Topics in Valuation

Spring. 1.5 credits.

Prerequisite: NBA 6560 or equivalent.

W. Rehm.

NBA 5850 is an entirely case-base class that builds on the core valuation class. Students will apply the principles of corporate valuation (DCF, APV, and multiples) to several real-life companies in different industries. We will address how to adjust “normal” valuation method-what to do when the standard approach gives strange results. The goal is to prepare students for “real life” valuations of complex, multibusiness-unit companies. Teams of four students will prepare a case for each class. About one-third of each class will be spent on the prepared case, one-third on key technical issues, and one-third on an introduction to the next industry.
