Most Common Deals in a Coverage Group?

In M&A, the most complex deals are the ones that require lots of Synergy modeling and the ones that a firm carries too much goodwill on its books. I interned in oil & gas group of the bank, and I think those M&A deals are the "hardest" because you create arbitrary values for PDP, PDNP, PUD, and then you apply a multiple based on a reserve report.

Right now, most people think that we are getting out early because not a lot of M&A deals are going through the pipeline, but its quite the opposite. Our MD's are busting their balls trying to chase new business which means pitchbooks for us. I would actually say, I am spending more time on powerpoint and useless slides, then actually working on a deal.

just wait until you start your SA and ask your analysts...in the meantime, just relax and focus on your school.

In terms of capital markets v. M&A deals, it just depends on what sector your group covers. In more mature industries (power/utilities) M&A activity will be relatively light so the majority of your time will be spent on capital markets deals. Other coverage groups may see a much higher dose of M&A activity.

why are you such a loser? i think americans naturally hate people from the UK but you are the reason for the stereotype. if you think i am a weak candidate than you are mistaken. buy a hooker up there or something. i know the weather sucks but jesus.

First of all, I am an American and I study in the U.S. And, you are an ignorant redneck; moreover, you can't even tell the difference between "then" and "than". Gee, stop PMing me flgators519.

I pretend to be cool and knowledgable on an internet message board because it makes me feel special. For example, correcting grammar really turns me on, it is the best way to come across as extremely intelligent. I sucked cock for 10 weeks last summer and now I know everything about banking, don't question me.

No i don't, and it's called a joke. i hope you realize you are being a loser everytime you post, because if you don't you have real problems.
