5.0 out of 5 stars
The best investment banking book for today’s world, July 12, 2009
By 
Gene Huang “Gene” (Los Angeles) –
This review is from: Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)

Investment banking is one of those industries where the only constant is change. The books I had from just a few years ago now seem hopelessly out-of-date. That’s why I’m so happy I found this book – it’s my bible for the finance world. I’ve already bought copies for friends – I even got one for my financial advisor and he loved it! I’m definitely going to send a copy to everyone I know who’s preparing for Wall Street interviews now. The concepts are sophisticated but the book is so well-written it makes complex valuation seem like second nature.

If you want to learn how academics think valuation should be done, read Damodaran’s “Investment Valuation”. If you want to know how valuation is carried out in practice in the M&A market, read this excelent book (don’t misunderstand me, Damodaran’s book is also very good).

It summarizes the various approaches, and the chapter on the M&A process is correct and adequately detailed. The links to online models were especially helpful, and we are making this book required reading for new analysts at our boutique M&A shop. <br/><br/>For those interested in understanding the theory behind valuation, Aswath Damodaran, "Investment Valuation" still has first place.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A new handbook for M&A professionals, June 23, 2009
By 
A. J. Southwell (St. Louis, MO) –
(REAL NAME)
  

This review is from: Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions (Wiley Finance) (Hardcover)

As a detailed discussion of valuation in the M&A context, this book is a gem. It summarizes the various approaches, and the chapter on the M&A process is correct and adequately detailed. The links to online models were especially helpful, and we are making this book required reading for new analysts at our boutique M&A shop.

For those interested in understanding the theory behind valuation, Aswath Damodaran, “Investment Valuation” still has first place. And for those who need to value non-standard assets (oil & gas, real estate, insurance companies) Jeffrey Hooke, “Security Analysis on Wall Street” remains essential.
