As acquisition possibilities in established markets gradually disappear, growth-oriented corporations continue to investigate emerging economies for opportunities to expand and strengthen their businesses. The myriad challenges of any merger, however, are further complicated by a volatile marketplace. Where do companies get reliable financial data for an emerging market? What is the risk-free rate? How should country-related risk be introduced into the valuation model? Drawing upon years of extensive research and his own considerable entrepreneurial experience, Luis Pereiro answers these questions and more, providing companies with a step-by-step blueprint for evaluating potential acquisitions in Valuation of Companies in Emerging Markets: A Practical Approach. Directly addressing companies that are actively pursuing investment opportunities as well as the academic community studying emerging economies, this groundbreaking guide bridges the gap between the theory and practice of company valuation in transition markets. Pereiro provides corporate and private investors with specific tools, data, and practical examples for valuing both new ventures and established companies in volatile arenas. He defines the relevant features of an emerging market, explains why traditional valuation techniques prove inadequate, analyzes the importance of unsystematic risk, and describes the appraisal of a start-up in a highly speculative atmosphere.
