Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts and Mergers & Acquisitions University

Book Name: 

Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts and Mergers & Acquisitions University


Author : Joshua Rosenbaum (Author), Joshua Pearl (Author)

In the constantly evolving world of finance, a solid technical foundation is an essential tool for success. Due to the fast-paced nature of this world, however, no one has been able to take the time to properly codify the lifeblood of the corporate financier's work--namely, valuation. Rosenbaum and Pearl have responded to this need by writing the book that they wish had existed when they were trying to break into Wall Street."Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions" is a highly accessible and authoritative book that focuses on the primary valuation methodologies currently used on Wall Street--comparable companies, precedent transactions, DCF, and LBO analysis. These methodologies are used to determine valuation for public and private companies within the context of M&A transactions, LBOs, IPOs, restructurings, and investment decisions. Using a step-by-step how-to approach for each methodology, the authors build a chronological knowledge base and define key terms, financial concepts, and processes throughout the book. They also provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of LBOs and an organized M&A sale process.

In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis and ensuing credit crunch, the world of finance is returning to the fundamentals of valuation and critical due diligence. This involves the use of more realistic assumptions governing approach to risk as well as a wide range of value drivers. While valuation has always involved a great deal of "art" in addition to time-tested "science," the artistry is perpetually evolving in accordance with market developments and conditions. In this sense, this book is particularly topical--in addition to detailing the technical fundamentals behind valuation, the authors infuse practical judgment skills and perspective to help guide the science.

Phone subscriber base crosses 500-m mark

Growing numbers: India is the second country after China to reach this milestone
The number of telephone subscribers in India has increased to 509.03 million at the end of September with nearly 15 million subscribers being added in the month. This beats the Government’s target of 500 million users by 2010-end.

Tele-density
India is the second country after China to reach this milestone.

With this, the overall tele-density in the country has reached 43.50 . Wireless subscriber base increased from 456.74 million in August to 471.73 million at the end of September, a growth of 3.28 per cent.

Mobile operators offering per second billing has contributed to the surge in subscriber numbers. Wireless tele-density stands at 40.31. Wireline subscriber base declined from 37.33 million in August to 37.31 million in September.

This is mainly on account of reduction in the subscriber base of BSNL/MTNL, which lost 0.06 million in September. The two PSU operators hold 85.67 per cent of the wireline market share. The overall wireline tele-density is 3.19.

Broadband subscription
The total broadband subscriber base has increased from 6.98 million in August to 7.22 million in September, thereby showing a growth of 3.29 per cent.

Broadband subscription is expected to get a boost once the Government auctions spectrum for 3G and broadband wireless access services early next year.
