Transaction Presentation

I'll be doing a 10min presentation on a recent public M&A deal. I intend to speak briefly on the valuation of the target company and whether I think the acquirer has overpaid / underpaid / paid in line with the EV.

Is it okay to just do a high-level DCF, trading comps and transaction comps analyses of the company to work out the implied share price and EV. If a DCF and trading & transaction comps valuations would work, can I just say I've done a high-level standalone valuation of the company (which obviously does not include synergies etc.)

Or is it also necessary to do a merger model - this would be more complicated as it'll need to include synergies etc. (I intend to speak about synergies in the rationale).

Thank you!
