What is M&A Valuation?
M&A Valuation is the structured process of determining the fair economic value of a company or its assets in the context of a transaction. It goes beyond historical accounting and focuses on future earning potential, strategic positioning, synergies, and transaction-specific risks to arrive at a value that reflects deal reality.
This Valuation serves as the foundation for negotiations, swap ratios, regulatory filings, and shareholder approvals, ensuring that transaction decisions are commercially sound, defensible, and aligned with applicable regulatory requirements.
