"Discuss a recent deal" - Talk about IPOs?
I'm interested in capital markets; if I'm asked to discuss a recent deal in an interview, what would you recommend talking about? An IPO?

I personally like talking about strategic M&A deals. I find that you can tell a more interesting and memorable story by discussing the industry and positioning of the buyer and seller and why the merge will yield strategic synergies and help them compete in the industry, as well as go into the risks and implications. You can show that you understand how the technical nature of the IPO (discuss multiples. accretion/dilution) as well as the strategic/quantitative side (synergies, economies of scale, vertical or horizontal integration). IPO's are also ok if its a particularly controversial one or if the company is particularly innovative. However you may be pressed to find a recent IPO or merger given Covid, maybe one from last year will do.
no personally prefer if you talk about an m&a deal and discuss rationale and ur thoughts
