Hi,
I'm currently doing my MSc in Finance, and seeing as I'm interested in M&A and equity research, and still not 100% sure which career path i'll choose, I want to pick a thesis topic that combines the two as much as possible.
Because I'm still at the start of my degree, and my undergrad was in econ, I don't feel that I know enough quite yet to make an informed decision, without suggestions.
Next term I will have a class in M&A, a class in private equity and hopefully one in investment analysis as well, so that will help a lot.
Could you guys please offer some suggestions on interesting thesis topics that would combine both of the above?
Cheers!
Boreed,
I'm not sure the parameters of your thesis, but I would think doing an analysis of strategic acquisitions within a specific sector may be what you're looking for. This would involve a lot of research on the sector itself as well as M&A activity (I'd exclude financial buyers) and the results of the activity.
Thank you! Anyone else?
Depending on the thesis reqs, you could do an ER report on a company considering an M&A deal ... such as on MSFT and their pursuit of YHOO. Regular ER report + an M&A report.
A case study on companies analysts have stated may be an acquisition target (how often are they correct in a given window?)
A comparison of acquisition price vs. consensus ER target share prices
