Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper investigates both the theoretical framework and real-world applications of valuing a private company, particularly in the context of divesting. The research examines Wintershall DEA, a privately owned oil and gas company. It gains relevance in light of BASF's intention to divest its stake in Wintershall DEA. For establishing a fair purchase price, the paper employs both intrinsic and relative valuation methods to establish a valuation range. Key findings are: (1) Industry-specific variations influence intrinsic valuation approaches, (2) Peer comparison in E&P is subject to increased complexity, (3) Macroeconomic and geopolitical instabilities increase corporate valuation volatility, (4) Strategic exit options are influenced by market conditions and timing.
