Mergers & Acquisitions are at the heart of deal-making in Investment Banking, and understanding how a deal affects shareholders is critical to whether a transaction goes ahead. This course teaches you exactly how investment bankers measure the financial impact of an acquisition using Accretion/Dilution analysis.
Through a step-by-step case study, you will learn to evaluate acquirer and target profiles, estimate offer prices, calculate premium paid to shareholders, and assess the impact of different financing structures such as cash or stock. We will also walk through Purchase Price Allocation (PPA), creation of goodwill, incremental amortization, and how these accounting adjustments affect the acquirer’s profitability.
By the end of the course, you’ll build a fully functional EPS Accretion/Dilution model from scratch, the same model used in real deal committees and board approvals. You will not only calculate whether a deal is accretive or dilutive, but also understand why, supported by sensitivity scenarios and strategic insights.
This course is ideal for anyone looking to prepare for investment banking roles or enhance their financial modeling toolkit. If you want practical M&A skills that set you apart in the job market, enroll now and start building your deal execution expertise!
