It's probably a modeling test. They'll likely give you some financial statements and ask you to build a quick NPV/DCF model and then perhaps be ready to discuss what assumptions you made in your model and how you arrived at your PT. May also involve some discussion on how that company fits into the overall industry.

Worst case scenario is it's 1 full hour of someone asking you brainteasers, in which case you're more than welcome to get up and leave after flipping them the bird.
