• Learn how to structure an advanced valuation model in the most efficient way
• Set up all the assumptions and drivers required to build out the DCF model
• Create a 10-year forecast for Amazon's business, including an income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, supporting schedules, and free cash flow to the firm (FCFF)
• Learn how to deal with advanced topics like segmented revenue, stock-based compensation, capital leases, and more
• Perform advanced comparable company analysis (Comps) using Capital IQ and Pitchbook Data
• Perform a Sum-Of-The-Parts (SOTP) valuation of Amazon
• Generate multiple operating scenarios to explore a range of outcomes and values for the business
• Perform sensitivity analysis on key assumptions and assess the overall impact of the transaction

WHO WILL BENEFIT:
Professionals working in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, and other areas of corporate finance that deal with valuing companies and performing advanced methods of valuation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
This course is built on a case study of Amazon, where participants are tasked with building a financial modeling and performing comparable company analysis to value AMZN shares.

Through the course of the transaction, students will learn:

• How equity research analysts value the company (including looking at an actual report from Morningstar)
• How to find comparable companies in Capital IQ and PitchBook Data, as well as how to export their financial information
• How to handle advanced accounting topics like capital leases (treated as debt) and stock-based compensation (a non-cash expense that's dilutive)
• How to create a dashboard and summary output that highlights the most important information from the model
