merger and acquisition valuation

Merger and acquisition (M&A) valuation is the process of determining the worth of a company involved in a potential or actual merger or purchase. It involves analyzing financial data, assets, earnings, growth prospects, and market conditions to estimate what the business is truly worth. This helps buyers and sellers negotiate fair prices and make informed decisions. Valuation methods can include calculating the company's future cash flow, comparing it to similar businesses, or assessing its asset value. Overall, M&A valuation ensures that both parties understand the value and structure a transaction that reflects the company's true economic worth.
