******Industry Competitors and a conclusion only*******
Analyzing a Domestic U.S. Merger or Acquisition
As senior financial analysts in your company, the CFO has asked your team to provide an audiovisual analysis of two merged, U.S.-based, domestic companies within the past 10 years, or a merger or acquisition that is in progress currently. This merged combination is or would be a competitor in your industry. The CFO has asked that you evaluate the merger or acquisition. Your team should assess the performance of these merged or merging companies. Then, your team should prepare a video presentation of 1215 slides and make a presentation at the upcoming board of directors meeting.
Here are the steps for the project.
Each team should be made up of 3 – 4 members.
Select a completed domestic U.S. merger or acquisition, or a domestic U.S. merger or acquisition that is currently in progress. Each team must select a different set of companies in the Q & A Forum on a first-come, first-served basis. Your selection may be subject to your professor’s approval. As such, be sure that the primary company involved has–or both companies have–publicly filed financial statements.
Go to the website for your merged company and download the 10-K report for the most recent year. Also, look for the 10-K report of the acquirer from the acquisition year (if available). If you are evaluating an M & A currently in progress, download the latest 10-Ks of both companies.
Perform your ratio analysis by using information from Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the textbook.
What was the price in U.S. dollars paid for the target company? What is the premium (in dollars and percent) that the acquirer paid for the target over the prevailing trading price of the target before the M & A was announced?
How is the merged combination or currently acquiring company’s stock performing since the completion of the M & A, or since the announcement of the M & A was made for a current M & A in progress? (Observe on Yahoo Finance.)
Then select six additional and different ratios from Chapter 2 of the textbook. These six ratios must be appropriate for analyzing the total financial performance of your M & A company selection. What do the financial ratios show? Show the name of each selected ratio, the dollar components, and the resulting ratio for the latest 2 years.
Select two major competitors to this merger and observe their ongoing key financial performance ratios for comparison by using the same six ratios that you used to evaluate your selected M & A. Show the competitors’ ratios for the latest 2 years. Then compare these same ratios to your M & A company. Do not select more than two competitors. You can go to Yahoo Finance and observe the financial data there for your ratios of the competitors. Show the names of the ratios, the years, dollar amounts, and resulting ratios. Apply six financial ratios that you select that are appropriate to analyze this industry. Do not combine the data from your two selected peer companies; show them individually.
Additionally, show how the stock prices of the two competitors are performing in the past 2 years.
What are your conclusions in assessing this merger or acquisition? Did this M & A create value? Will this currently ongoing M & A process create value?
Has there been any value created in the M & A in terms of synergies? Is there potential for creating more value in the future? If you are analyzing a recently completed M & A or for an M & A currently in progress, is it likely that value will be created with synergies in the short term and intermediate horizon (15 years)? You are welcome to find and use free analysis reports regarding the merged or merging companies on the Internet.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the comparison of your company’s ratios against the industry ratios, as well as your analysis. APA standards are to be followed for all portions of this presentation, including but not limited to proper references and citations.
Using video creation tools in your course, prepare an oral and visual PowerPoint presentation. Each team member must participate in the narration of this presentation. Include the name of the speaking Team Member in a corner of the slide about which they are speaking. There must be 1215 (no more, no fewer) PowerPoint slides used in this presentation. All team members must participate in the PowerPoint preparation and audiovisual presentation.
The first slide should be the title slide with the names of your merger and acquisition companies or the resulting company for a completed M & A. The names of all teammates should also be on the title slide.
The last slide should list the sources of information used for the presentation in APA format.
