Master acquisition valuation analysis skills that set you apart in asset management and hedge funds!
Transaction Comps (Comparable Company Transactions), which uses actual M&A case studies for company valuation, is a critical skill that tests an analyst’s ability to analyze and interpret deals.
At global funds such as BlackRock and Point72, firms look for candidates who can answer questions like, “Was this acquisition overpriced?” and “Why was it valued at this EV/EBITDA multiple?”
This training is designed so that even beginners can confidently handle real M&A transactions involving Japanese companies, systematically learning how to research, organize, and interpret acquisition price, premium, and multiples.
Step-by-step program to become an analyst who can speak confidently about M&A deals — even as a beginner!
・Understand the structure of Transaction Comps from the ground up: Clear explanations of EV, acquisition price, and multiples
・Practice using real Japanese M&A cases: From deal selection → data gathering → multiple calculation
・Compare valuation metrics such as P/E, EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales based on acquisition terms: Learn relative valuation through side-by-side comparisons
・Develop the ability to logically explain “Why was this the price?”: Covers deal rationale, competitive environment, and non-financial factors
・Handle dilution adjustments (options, CB, warrants): Accurately reflect fully diluted share count and enterprise value
・Create comparison tables in slide format and visualize investment hypotheses: Strengthen presentation output skills at the same time
Who this training is for
・Aspiring asset management and hedge fund professionals who want to evaluate and interpret M&A transactions
・Those who want to be able to say with data, “This acquisition was overpriced/fairly priced”
・Those who can build models but lack confidence in interpreting deal dynamics
・Those who want to develop a “market sense” for acquisition valuations that can be used in a fund or IR role
・Those who have been caught off guard in interviews or networking when asked, “How do you view recent acquisition deals?”
What you’ll train on
・Research past Japanese M&A transactions (e.g., Sony acquisitions, Seven & i’s overseas expansion)
・Calculate EV, Equity Value, acquisition premium, and multiples, then compile into comparison tables
・Analyze the background of high-priced/low-priced acquisitions from perspectives such as competition, growth, and strategic rationale
・Adjust for potential shares from stock options or CBs to calculate fully diluted enterprise value
・Practice creating a one-page slide that visualizes and explains “Why this deal had this multiple”
“There are three reasons why I believe this deal was overpriced” — having this analytical ability will be your weapon.
