Description

Do mergers and acquisitions in corporate India genuinely create financial value, or do they simply expand scale? Evaluation of Pre and Post Merger Financials of Top Indian Companies provides an empirical investigation into the real operational and financial impact of M&A activity across key market leaders, including UltraTech Cement, Pidilite Industries, Astral, PI Industries, and JK Tyre. Moving beyond top-line revenue growth, authors Narayani Joshi and Venkatesh Indurkar apply a multi-ratio, dual-test statistical framework, combining parametric paired t-tests and non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests to evaluate post-deal performance across profitability, liquidity, capital structure, and operational efficiency. The study is further enhanced by DuPont ROE decompositions, Composite Financial Performance Indexing (CFPI), and Monte Carlo simulations to assess long-term value creation potential. Essential reading for equity research analysts, investment bankers, corporate finance executives, and researchers seeking a data-driven blueprint for assessing M&A deal success in emerging markets.
