Mergers & Acquisitions: Analyze, Value & Execute

Learners will analyze M&A fundamentals, evaluate valuation methods, and design merger execution models to master the end-to-end process of corporate restructuring. This course provides a comprehensive pathway to understand types of mergers, motives, life cycle stages, takeover strategies, and synergy creation. You will gain the ability to calculate free cash flows, apply discounted cash flow (DCF) models, use comparable company analysis, and implement advanced methods such as constant growth and reverse mergers. By completing this course, learners will assess post-merger performance, including P/E ratios, EPS, share pricing, and acquisition costs, while also exploring cross-border mergers and real-world case studies like the IGate–Patni deal. Practical modules focus on building financial models, structuring deal assumptions, analyzing synergies, designing financing mixes, forecasting pro forma results, and applying earn-out models for execution-ready skills. What makes this course unique is its integration of theory with practical case studies and modeling exercises, enabling learners not only to understand M&A concepts but also to apply valuation techniques and execute merger plans in real-world scenarios.
