Students will read Case: Sun Microsystems (HBR) and will create a 10 minute presentation video response with their Pitchbook Presentation group.
The Case Study method is somewhat subjective and open to interpretation. Here are a few questions you should consider:
Question 1: Is Sun Microsystems a good strategic fit for Oracle?
Question 2: What approaches would you use to place a value on Sun Microsystems?
Question 3: Assuming a discounted cash flow valuation:
a. What rate of return should Oracle require on the acquisition?
b. What base-case cash flows do you forecast?
c. What is your estimate of terminal value?
d. What is the enterprise value of Sun Microsystems? What is the equity value?
Question 4: Conduct a multiples analysis to value Sun. What economic fundamentals are reflected in the multiples?
Question 5: Identify the synergies and conduct a sensitivity analysis to estimate the effect of synergies on enterprise value.
Question 6: If a competing bidder appears, how high a price should Oracle be willing to offer?
