Study Notes
Investors and Other Stakeholders
Mergers and Acquisitions
- A competitor offering to acquire a company at 20% above its publicly traded price to increase the target company's value through cost synergies may be opposed by non-owner managers and non-executive directors.
- Shareholders may have a reason to support the merger.
Financial Leverage
- Creditors can benefit from increased financial leverage as they receive interest payments.
- Shareholders may also benefit from increased financial leverage through increased earnings.
Operating Cycle
- Extending credit terms from 30 to 90 days can cause concern for creditors, but not for customers.
- Suppliers may also be affected by the extended credit terms.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Implementation
- Thematic investing involves investing only in a specific sector or industry, such as alternative energy.
- Exclusionary screening involves excluding companies that do not meet certain ESG criteria, such as energy and mining companies.
- Negative screening is an ESG implementation approach that excludes companies based on personal beliefs.
Stakeholder Benefits
- Creditors are least likely to benefit from a significant rise in market value of a public corporation.
- Shareholders, senior executives, and the board of directors may benefit from a significant rise in market value.
Company Valuation
- A company with significant debt, moderate revenue growth, and steady positive cash flow may have its stock price consistently undervalued by the market.
- This scenario is most advantageous for creditors.
Full Integration
