Hi all,
Has a question on the typical in person modeling exam for most HFs. I know this has been discussed at length in other posts but just wanted to confirm if they ever ask for an LBO or M&A model (saw a comment saying this happened at a few places)?
Otherwise I am assuming it is build a 3 statement projection with ~3 years of quarterlies, model out bear base bull, and slap some multiples on it / sensitivity and then engage in discussion over revenue and cost drivers at the end. Otherwise in some cases if necessary, run a DCF (low/no profit growth co.).
Lastly, how detailed do you try to get on the things that can be summarized with percentages? (working capital, D&A, etc.)
And then I assume when it is a case study/take home you will want to build everything out in as much detail as possible (or at least if it is at all somewhat relevant to the discussion)
Thanks
Hey mtnmaster1, the following topics might be helpful:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Hey, did you end up doing the model exam and can you share what type of model it was / how much time you had for it?
