Although investors and perhaps bankers are not as focused on credit as was the case several years ago, properly assessing credit risk and determining appropriate credit marks remains the key arbiter in determining whether a deal is destined to struggle or meet/exceed expectations. This session looked at the evolution of loan portfolio valuations as part of due diligence and M&A pricing since the financial crisis. Davis and Gibbs provided insight into some of the nuances around the evaluation process and what to look for in terms of potential potholes regarding potential acquisitions.
Presented January 26, 2015 at Bank Director’s 2015 Acquire or Be Acquired Conference.
