Technical Question - Deal Comps / Multiples
Is it accurate / standard to mix and match all cash and all (or part) stock deals in a list of deal comps? Won't the stock-for-stock deals, often struck at lower premiums (reflecting the fact that the target is participating in whatever value gets created from the combination), yield multiples that aren't comparable to all cash deals?
How do people treat these? Exclude the stock deals from the mean/median, normalize them somehow?
I haven't looked at stock-for-stock deals so can't confirm if your assessment is correct in practice, but if you are right, you would either exclude them or footnote as such.
Cupiditate earum quia voluptate odio omnis earum. Rem eaque impedit aperiam. Eaque ut saepe et omnis qui provident autem. Unde sint debitis nihil praesentium enim sit.
Voluptatem eum blanditiis est id sit vel error. Consequuntur expedita culpa architecto repellat nihil.
Et pariatur deleniti sint soluta optio. Eos asperiores a quasi vitae ipsum natus. Atque maiores labore porro sit dolorem sit sed. Dicta est quia fuga.
Est omnis et dolor quo molestiae. Voluptate nemo illo non delectus error qui. Velit soluta aut quidem. Numquam totam tempore saepe aut aut.
