there are a lot of people who may be aware of what private and public means. when you say private, this can be a sector that is owned by someone in particular. a private business is something that is controlled by certain 10.1 sequences polynomials: easy to evaluate, integrate, diﬀerentiate general functions: -a sequence is a list of #s -sequences are written as: -many series correspond to functions formally, the sequence converges to l if for every positive number , there corresponds an integer n such that for all Short interest is the total number of shares of a particular stock that have been sold short by investors but have not yet been covered or closed out. This can be expressed as a number or as a percentage.   

  

When expressed as a percentage short interest is the number of shorted shares divided by the number of shares outstanding. For example, a stock with 1.5 million shares sold short and 10 million shares outstanding has a short interest of 15% (1.5 million/10 million = 15%).   

  

Most stock exchanges track the short interest in each stock and issue reports at month's end. These reports are great because, by showing what short sellers are doing, they allow investors to gauge overall market sentiment surrounding a particular stock. Or alternatively most exchanges provide an online tool to calculate short interest for a particular security. For example check out the Nasdaq's short interest calculator; it's very easy to use. Hi,  

one of the most important aspects to stress in an M&A will be the revenue and cost synergies of the 2 companies.


During a PE investment instead will be crucial to investigate the ability of the target company to increase - in the short-middle term - profit and value. Then, you can think even on synergies with the other firms in the portfolio.

Therefore, elements present in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties. giving a name to checkboxes means grouping them together to the same question

if you have 10 questions, and each has 5 checkboxes, and you don’t group them together, that would mean having 50 checkboxes lumped together - maybe you have also pretty similar values etc…

In **consulting interviews** you may have **two types of M&A cases:**


1. Commercial due-diligence of the target company
2. Synergies calculation of two merging companies


There are **two ways to identify the exact type of a case:**


* The interviewer will tell you
* In the beginning, while asking clarifying questions you ask what is the objective and if we have any other company in the portfolio that can have potential synergies


**1. For commercial DD** you can use the following structure:


**Market**


* Size
* Growth rates
* Profitability
* Segments
* Distribution channels


**Competition**


* Market shares of competitors and their segments (see the next point)
* Concentration / fragmentation (Fragmented market with lots of small players is less mature and easier to enter from a scratch. Concentrated market is hard to enter but has potential acquisition targets)
* Unit economics of the players (Margins, relative cost position)
* Key capabilities of the players (e.g. suppliers, assets, IP, etc)


**Company** 


* Unit economics (Margins, costs) in current or target markets
* Brand
* Product mix
* Key capabilities


**Feasibility of exit**:


* Exit multiples
* Exit time
* Existence of buyers


**2. For Synergies Calculation** you can use the following structure:


1. **Revenue synergies** - here you calculate the synergies in price and quantity (depending on the case it may be new geographies, new products, new distribution channels, bigger share on shelves crosselling opportunities, etc.)
2. **Cost synergies** - typically you use a value chain structure tailored to the industry (e.g. supply-production-distribution-marketing-after sales support)
3. **Risks** - major risks that can decrease the synergies (tip: don't underestimate the merging companies culture factor)
4. **Total synergies potential** in $, adjusted by risk (probability of failure)


**In private equity interviews,** the cases will be much more detailed in financial part. Depending on the company you'll need to:


* Find the relevant information in P&L and Balance sheet
* Do the simplified valuation using NPV: calculate cash flows and make assumptions about growth rate and discount rate
* Do the valuation using comps - you'll have to explain which comps you will use and why


Good luck!
