So how do you value the share price of stock for a given company? In other words, what is the intrinsic value of a given stock? Generally speaking, a stock is valued based on the company’s current financial state and what the market believes the company’s future financial state will look like. https://carnick.com/
M&A activity in the o&g industry is at its lowest point in years. The number of deals in the first half of 2016 was 198, an "extremely low" number compared to what it has been in past years.

Angesichts des weiter sinkenden Ölpreises und der Entscheidung der OPEC gegen eine Drosselung der Fördermengen werden 2015 noch intensivere M&A-Aktivitäten in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette stattfinden. Diese strategischen Deals sind für die Unternehmen wichtig, um Wertzuwächse zu erzielen, sich für kommende Marktturbulenzen zu rüsten und die Wettbewerbslandschaft zu ihren Gunsten zu formen.

Eddie Lampert bought Kmart out of bankruptcy. W.L. Ross made a fortune many times over buying steel and other companies out of bankruptcy. Hedge funds and other distressed debt traders buy and sell millions of dollars of distressed securities and bankruptcy claims every day. A number of private equity funds focus exclusively on buying distressed businesses, fixing, and selling them. And fortunes are made when real estate crashes by those who have the dry powder to swoop in and buy when others are forced to sell. This webinar explains how to loan to, or purchase the debt of, a company in order to acquire it (a strategy commonly called “loan to own”); how to learn about opportunities involving distressed companies; and tips and best practices for participating in bankruptcy, Article 9, and other sales of distressed businesses (including the concept of serving as the “stalking horse).

Debt and equity availability update: The guide to financing in commercial rea...JLL
In the last three years, commercial property lending has continued to gain momentum and it is fundamentally strong, while still maintaining disciplined underwriting standards. The fundamentals of the real estate markets also are improving via the growth in the housing markets, construction, industrial production, and the further strengthening of the consumer psyche. The convergence of these factors leads us to an optimistic 2014 forecast for the real estate lending markets. Banks now trust the improved value of real estate again, which results in increased lending competition that should keep spreads tight and fuel strong performance up the risk curve to broader geographies and asset types this year.

Canadian banking and lending 2013: A mid-year pulse checkDeloitte Canada
Early 2013 data indicates that we’ll see a strong Canadian credit market this year. Business lending is on the rise.

It’s a good sign for Canada’s banks — and Canada’s economy overall.

Securities Firms and Investment Banks
Securities Firms and Investment Banks (IBs)
Investment banks (IBs) help corporations and governments raise capital through debt and equity security issues in the primary market
Underwriting is assisting in issuing new securities
IBs also advise on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and corporate restructuring
Securities firms assist in the trading of securities in secondary markets
Broker-dealers assist in the trading of existing securities
2
Investment bankers assist borrowers in raising capital in debt and equity markets and provide advice about mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring and general assistance in finance. Bankers also provide many creative over the counter derivative products. Securities firms provide brokerage and market making services. The investment banking and securities industries are complementary and many firms provide a broad range of services. Some specialized entities with advantages in certain market niches remain less diversified. The industry underwent tremendous consolidation in the last decade due to increasing scale and scope economies and the need for greater capital. The face of the industry was changed forever during the financial crisis of 2007-2008 with forced buyouts of Merrill-Lynch and Bear-Stearns, failure of Lehman Brothers and Goldman-Sachs and Morgan Stanley becoming commercial banks. Nevertheless, working for many of these firms is often considered the penultimate finance career, with prestige and remuneration to match. With industry profits down, firms on the Street are having a difficult time maintaining their large salaries and bonuses. A very significant portion of profits are paid out in the form of remuneration to executives. The chapter presents an overview of the size of the industry and the general strategies of the participants, major activities, primary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, recent in the news events concerning breaches of ethics and the trend toward globalization.
Size, Structure and Composition of Industry
The size of the industry is usually measured by the equity capital of firms rather than total asset size
Equity capital in the industry in 2015 was $235 billion
The number of firms in the industry changed due to economies of scale and scope, losses with the economy, scandals at some firms, and regulations that allowed both inter- and intra-industry mergers
5,248 firms in 1980
9,515 firms in 1987
6,016 firms in 2006
4,115 firms in 2016
As with commercial banks, consolidation has largely occurred through mergers and acquisitions

Friends,
There’s an adage that the only constant is change and that certainly applies to the capital
markets. Keeping up with that change, and hearing expert perspectives on what we can
expect in 2017, is the goal of our annual State of the Capital Markets Breakfast Forum.
This ebook is a compilation of some of the key takeaways from the Breakfast Forum. We invite
you to review it and pass it along to your business colleagues if you find it helpful. We have
also posted the slides from the presentation on our website for future reference.
Sharing information that supports our clients and helps them achieve their business goals
is an ongoing commitment of our firm. As a core value, we strive to bring together industry
expertise, knowledge of our clients’ specific business and our extensive experience in law to
achieve practical business solutions for our clients. This is one way we deliver on that promise.
Sincerely,
CHRIS HANSLIK

4. ABOUT DREW
Drew is Chairman and President of Kanaly Trust and is responsible for all client and
business development firm-wide. He also continues to manage the ongoing investment
strategies and personal wealth management programs of several family relationships.
He specializes in investment management, charitable trusts and family limited partner-
ships. Since earning his BBA in Finance from the University of Houston, Drew has attended
the American Bankers Association’s National Graduate Trust School at Northwestern
University, the Texas Bankers Association Regional Trust School at Southern Methodist
University and earned a CFTA designation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Public markets are not terribly overpriced, especially
when looking historically at inflection points.
• Emerging markets are undervalued compared
to historical averages, and have been for quite
some time.
• The ability to buy shares in the stock market has been
reduced by more than four and a half trillion dollars,
yet price earnings multiples are reasonable.
• Allocating to an expected return of 7% in today’s mar-
kets yields a 17% standard deviation. Probability says
that is an unacceptable risk for the average retiree.
• Portfolio construction based upon bonds for moderate
risk may not work until interest rates normalize. Modern
portfolio theories are on hold for awhile.

5. KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Private equity buyers have significant capital to
deploy. The growth of private equity since 1992 has
been phenomenal.
• Q2 2016 has been the worst quarter for middle market
MA deals since Q2 2009—only 292 deals were made.
• The private equity machine works off of leverage.
Since 2010, multiples in these transactions have
increased from three times total debt to almost
four times total debt.
• There is about a trillion dollars in dry powder available
in the marketplace—that’s equity capital that is com-
mitted but has not yet been drawn for transactions
plus a corresponding amount of debt financing.
• The oil industry has benefited from declining interest
rates because it is a capital-intensive business.

6. KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Interest rates remain low, debt is cheap and investors
are chasing yield.
• Stagnant growth in the world economy, particularly
in the U.S., is driving such a poor rate environment.
• Absent a dramatic change in the global economy,
we can expect a “low for long” environment.
• This recovery is a bit “long in the tooth.” Most recoveries
don’t last this long.
• Abundant non-bank capital is available for financing,
replacing bank debt.
• Despite lower growth than past recoveries (2.1%),
the current expansion is much longer than previous
business cycles.
• Ultimately, greater regulation and cost in the system
could lessen availability of credit during future cycles.

7. Persistently low oil prices have driven deal flow to the
lowest point since 2009 despite plenty of available invest-
ment capital. And banks are beset with low-for-long
interest rates while they battle increased competition
from new and unregulated lenders.
PUBLIC EQUITY AND DEBT
Take a look at stock markets around the world. The SP
500 Index is trading near its historic high but the index
P/E is near the historical average of 16x projected earn-
ings. So what’s driving the index to new highs on historic
earning multiples?
Maybe it’s the net reduction of the number of shares
that you can buy since 2004. Stock buybacks, mergers
and other transactions have removed $4.5 trillion in stocks
from the market. Or maybe it’s the dividend yields of over
two percent. The picture doesn’t get much clearer for
emerging markets: they are undervalued and look like
a bargain compared to their historic averages but they
have been at this level for some time. Either way, the
public equity markets do not look overpriced. Couple
that with yields on U.S. government bonds that are
around 1.6 percent, and yields on the sovereign debt
of other creditworthy countries that are sometimes
less than zero, and there is a perfect storm for the
balanced portfolio.
Conclusion: modern portfolio theories—in which fixed
income-yields offset the reasonable risk-weighted return
of equity and alternative investments—are going to be
on hold for a little while.

Troubled Waters –
The Current State of
the Capital Markets

Where is an investor to
turn in the current eco-
nomic climate? Public
equity markets are trading
around or below historic
P/E averages even while
yields on sovereign debt
is near zero, and some-
times below.
8. COMMERCIAL LOAN MARKET
When the Federal Reserve raised the interest rate in
December 2015, it was the first time in nearly a decade.
There are people in the business world that have never
seen a rate hike. However, interest rates remain low and
there is a prevailing sentiment that they will remain low
for awhile.
One of the drivers of the current interest rate environment
is stagnant economic growth in the U.S. and other world
economies. Almost every recession has been followed by
robust growth. Not so with the recession of 2007 – 2009.
Although we are currently in the third longest recovery
since World War II, we have been limping along because
of the anemic U.S. growth rate of 2.1 percent and linger-
ing concerns over Europe and China. Even though we
are in a seven-year recovery, there’s probably more
downside risk in the U.S. economy than upside risk of
long-running, robust recovery going forward.
In addition, a new class of investors is putting money
into business development companies and other private
credit sources that have economic and regulatory flexi-
bility relative to commercial banks. As a result of these
alternative lenders, the commercial banking segment
has become increasingly more competitive, and borrowers
can use that to their advantage.
Conclusion: borrowers should use the current climate as
an opportunity to raise debt opportunistically when they
can and not when they need it, extend maturity dates,
reprice deals, and amend covenants to their advantage.
Take up offers from bankers to go to lunch and keep all
borrowing options open.
PRIVATE EQUITY MARKET
Middle-market MA deal flow for the first six months of
2016 was at the lowest level since 2009. The perception
is that the MA market has two tiers, with a few transac-
tions getting a lot of investor attention and others having
trouble gaining any traction. Valuations have been
affected in 2016 but remain healthy.
The other important consideration is the amount of
funds available for investment, or dry powder, which is
a combination of the undrawn commitments to private
equity funds and the leverage that a transaction can
support. Private equity has undrawn commitments of
more than $500 billion and leverage ratios have been
running at about 4.0x EBITDA. So every $1 of equity is
matched with a $1 to $1.50 of debt. When you combine
the undrawn commitments with the magic of leverage
you realize there is somewhere around $1 trillion in dry
powder available.
So why aren’t there more transactions? As in other
years, and in the larger market generally, there is
a real difference in the multiples commanded by a
$10+ million EBITDA company compared to the multiples
that a $5 million EBITDA company will receive. Maybe sell-
ers that see a way to grow their company are holding
back a little to capture the benefit of the size premium.
And maybe there’s just enough uncertainty about the
future for private equity funds to wait and see what is
going to happen before chasing some transactions.
Conclusion: although there is an abundance of “dry
powder” available for investment, as a result of the
undrawn investment commitments to private equity
and the increase in leverage that can be brought to
bear, there simply are not enough transactions of the
right size and right quality to put this money to work.
