Corporate Finance

The Corporate Finance profile focuses on the financial activities and strategies of corporations. It deals with how companies manage their financial resources, make investment decisions, raise capital, and maximize shareholder value.

You will acquire the ability to analyze financial statements, evaluate investment opportunities, manage capital structures, and understand mergers and acquisitions. Real-world applications include:

• Amazon's capital budgeting for AWS,
• Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox,
• Toyota's currency hedging to mitigate financial risks.

These strategies enable companies to enhance shareholder value, manage risks, and ensure long-term success.
