I have a finance interview with Credit Suisse Holt tomorrow and have been studying for it all weekend. It is only a first round interview so the majority of it will be questions about me, however I want to be fully prepared for any technical questions that will come up, so that I ensure the second round. Throughout the last few days i have looked over a lot of information and want to narrow it down to more specific questions.
Two questions that I feel they are going to ask are..
How would you value a company? What is the difference between a good company and a good stock?
Are there any others that you think they will ask?
I am not looking for answers to questions, just questions you think they will ask/
thank you
Got at in all of my interviews..
What is EBITDA? Why is it widely used as a proxy for CF in the financial sector?
How would you calculate a firm's WACC.... What would you use it for?
Give me 3 valuation metrics you would use in a comp analysis
What is Enterprise Value... how do you calculate it?
Pitch me a stock
umm i also go the tell me a current event question alot..
Expect all of these.
Also, explain how a DCF works both with PGM and EMM.
An individual in one my classes got this question:
Explain to me in 10 minutes the current state of the global economy.
I wouldn't mind the global economy in 10 minutes at all! It would shave off a lot of difficult-question time :).
On the other hand, can someone clarify the answer to why EBITDA is widely used as a proxy for CF and why some people prefer to use EBIT instead? I've never fully grasped a full understanding of those 2 questions. Thanks!
bump this last question, first part
EBITDA is a proxy for cash flow because it is operating earnings before financing effects (the IT part) and before non-cash charges (the DA part).
EBITDA shows the performance of the company itself unadjusted for interest payments and capital structure elements
