Technology Buyouts: Valuation, Market Screening Application, Opportunities in Europe

By Tilmann Pohlhausen

Since the burst of the technology bubble in 2000, the value of technology
companies has been in a fundamental decline. This has led to an interesting
question: Do the post-bubble valuation levels provide ground to a concept
rarely seen in this sector: leveraged and management buyouts?

The book examines:

Why buyouts of technology companies have hardly taken place in the past,
and why this is changing
How the attractiveness of a buyout can be estimated
What makes analyzing technology buyouts different from traditional
companies
Why there might be buyout opportunities among European technology
companies

The author provides a free Microsoft Excel based model on an accompanying
web site that allows the screening of major technology indices, using a
fully adjustable scoring application to identify attractive buyout targets.
This book is a must read for anybody in the mergers & acquisitions,
technology, and private equity business.
