Hello, I’m a rising sophomore and I just got a first-round interview for 2025 IB SA (ECM) with CIBC. Any questions in particular I should be particularly prepared for? What are some questions that might be specific to ECM?
can confirm i got very similar questions, I had a few questions on comps tables and some metrics, M&A question on accretion, some weird one on what i would use to value a ipo, walkthrough of DCF
tripped up on the sale of ppe on the the after tax net income calculation (forgot how to do math) and the comps one - i ended up getting to right answer for every question but just needed a little bit of help on those two

Why IB/CIBC
Recent Deal
Technicals
- $100 Sale of Asset through 3 statements
- High Level Walkthrough of both DCF & LBO
- Basic Dil. S/O - Treasury Stock Method
- Why are unlevered DCFs preferred
- What kinds of synergies are there and can you give examples in the context of Starbucks
Nothing too difficult, with CIBC specifically they will try to pick at any weak element of your answers with follow ups, so keep it concise.
Good luck!
