- Client:
- Investor in information businesses
- Challenge:
- Evaluate market valuation of a potential strategic acquisition
- Outcome:
- Pricing was shown to be unrealistic and the acquisition was not made
An Outsell client involved in mergers and acquisitions wanted to understand valuations in the information space in order to evaluate an opportunity.
The client first turned to Outsell's data on the financial performance of the top 100 publicly traded information companies. The client also utilized its Analyst Access privileges through its Outsell subscription to consult analysts who had been interviewing financial market participants, to help determine valuation ranges and the current investment climate.
Within 24 hours, Outsell provided the client with a three-page response showing that the seller was proposing unrealistic valuations. The client chose not to make the acquisition.
