- 1
Built several valuation lenses for the same company.
The package includes trading comparables, precedent transactions, standalone DCF, LBO, and M&A models. That makes it possible to compare market pricing, intrinsic cash-flow value, financial sponsor feasibility, and strategic transaction math side by side.
- 2
Showed the tension between market pricing and conservative valuation.
The trading comps file shows Nvidia at about 45.0x LTM revenue and 130.1x LTM EBITDA, while the DCF produces a $99.70 implied share price versus the model's $485.09 current price. The takeaway is that Nvidia's market value depends on very aggressive growth and terminal assumptions.
- 3
Used transaction models to test feasibility, not just valuation.
The LBO reaches a 29.8% sponsor IRR only when the exit multiple is held at the 130x entry multiple and EBITDA expands materially. The M&A model shows that an AMD acquisition can look highly accretive in a simplified view, while the detailed model is initially dilutive before synergies and deleveraging improve the result.
