Using target capital structure gives you a cleaner valuation, undistorted by the possibility that the company may have financed itself under conditions that no longer prevail. It also contemplates the near certain likelihood that on a change of control the company will need to be fully - and optimally - recapitalized.

Imagine if you are one of two private equity funds bidding on a company, and neither your fund nor the other one has a unique strategic angle or synergies. To avoid over- or under-paying, you want your bid to reflect the cost of capital that you or the other buyer will actually bear once you own it.
