To the student team: You have been asked to evaluate Tetra Technologies for a possible acquisition by a third party equity investment group. You should note that the equity investment group is split with some members supporting the proposed acquisition while other members are opposed. Your analysis will be used to guide their final decision. The issues to be addressed are: (1) Determine if the current quoted market stock price represents a realistic valuation for the enterprise and why you believe this to be the case or, if not, what would you suggest Tetra Technologies true value to be and why? At what price might you recommend acquisition (offer supportive evidence)? (2) To support the proposed recommendations, the team must conduct research on existing valuation methodologies and present comparable analyses for several small cap firms in the same market space as Tetra Technologies. (3) The team’s analysis should provide extensive information on Tetra Technologies marketing, competitors, operations and financials, allowing consideration of all factors in a suggested valuation of the company. (4) Can the team present, to the interested investment group, a profile of anticipated ROI based upon the team’s recommended acquisition price?
