Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a specific 4-hour PE case study directly shared for practice. However, there are insights on how to approach such case studies effectively:

  1. Time Management:

    • Hour 1: Build a simple valuation model, typically P/E or EV/EBITDA-based.
    • Hours 2-3: Develop your investment thesis and integrate it into your model. Compare results to any provided guidance or consensus estimates.
    • Hours 3.5-4: Finalize your model, draft your recommendation, and prepare your presentation. Include an investment thesis, valuation, and a checklist of next steps.
  2. Preparation Resources:

    • The WSO Private Equity Interview Course offers 9 LBO modeling tests and other relevant materials to help you practice.
    • The WSO Elite Modeling Package includes courses on LBO modeling, financial statement modeling, and valuation, which are essential for case studies.
  3. Additional Tips:

    • Focus on creating a clear and concise presentation that highlights your investment thesis, key assumptions, and valuation.
    • If you're looking for shared resources, some WSO threads suggest reaching out to members via PM or exploring repositories if available.

For more structured practice, consider enrolling in the Private Equity Interview Bootcamp offered by WSO, which includes detailed LBO tests and case study preparation.
