Corporate Finance Explained | Mastering Mergers & Acquisitions
About this episode
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) shape the corporate landscape, but what makes a deal successful? In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we break down the M&A lifecycle, from valuation and financial modeling to financing strategies and post-merger integration.
Through real-world case studies—including Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox and Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard—we explore how financial professionals analyze synergies, assess risks, and drive corporate growth through strategic investments. Learn how FP&A teams play a critical role in the integration process and how data-driven insights can make or break an M&A deal.
