First time doing an LBO

Hi Everyone,

I will be participating in a LBO case study at my school and I have never performed a full fledged LBO before. I am vaguely familiar with how it works and have dabbled into the technicals of it, I just need some pointers as to what companies in this current environment might be good candidates and why? If you can name a few publicly listed companies and just a thing or two as to why it might be good for a LBO, I greatly appreciate it.

Cheers
