Distressed Case Study

Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights on distressed case studies:

1. Request for Case Studies:

   • Users have shown interest in case studies from major firms like Oaktree. For example, John-Jacobs1 asked for case studies from MF's or places like Oaktree to see how they look.

2. Approach to Distressed Case Studies:

   • A user named Ovechkin08 provided a structured approach to analyzing a distressed company:
     1. Introduction: Briefly describe the company, including its operations and geographic exposure.
     2. Recent Issues: Explain why the company is distressed. For instance, if it's a retail company, it might be facing falling margins due to online competition and rising lease costs, which pressures free cash flow (FCF).
     3. Valuation Comparisons: Lay out valuation comps such as EV/EBITDA to see where industry players trade.

3. Resources for Learning:

   • Sharpie19 and Black Jack have both sought resources for learning about distressed debt investing, including models and processes for identifying, analyzing, purchasing, and profiting from such investments.

4. Case Study Help:

   • An anonymous user in the Credit Forum asked for help with a case study on publicly traded distressed credit, seeking advice on whether to build a 3-statement model, compute IRR, or use LBO/DCF valuations.

If you need more specific examples or templates, you might want to explore the WSO forums further or consider sharing your email to get access to financial modeling lessons and templates.
