Want to get some practice with LBO modeling, so wanted to ask what are some good companies to practice a buyout model on.
Thanks for the help

A retailer like Nordstrom with a decent hard asset base
Thank you
If you want to have a go at a British one: Johnson Matthey PLC (JMAT).
They are a good candidate for an acquisition/LBO due to how the business is structured, you could spin off a part, acquire/integrate another, etc
Appreciated
Any software business with strong fundamentals trading below their 2015 valuation (shouldn't be hard to find)
