Industrials Case Study Help
Hi guys,
I have an upcoming 6-hour Industrials case study for an M&A role. The exercise involves building a 3-statement operating model from scratch for a listed company, along with a short slide deck presenting the investment case and key findings.
To prepare, I’ve been repeatedly building the Mergers & Inquisitions 3-statement model from scratch and can now complete it in around 90 minutes.
My question is around the appropriate level of detail for the model given the time constraint.
For example:
*How detailed would you make revenue assumptions?
*Would you forecast working capital using or % revenue?
*For capex, would you build a full PP&E schedule link, or is the % revenue approach generally sufficient?
*How much attention would you give to debt schedules, and interest calculations?
*Are there any common pitfalls candidates fall into by making models either too simple or too complex?
Any thoughts from people who have completed similar case studies would be greatly appreciated. Resources or examples would also be very helpful.
Thanks!
Just go on vibes man
