Chapter/Session 2: The Corporate Life Cycle - Basics

In this session, I look at the six phases of the corporate life cycle (at least my version) from start up to corporate decline/demise. I look at the characteristics of companies in each phase, and the operating, financing and ownership changes that occur.

Exercise:
a. For each of the five companies on your list, estimate the operating metrics (revenue growth, operating margins) in the most recent years.
b. For each of the five companies on your list, evaluate whether there has been, and if yes, how much capital raised (from debt or equity) in the most recent years.
c. For each of the five companies on your list, look at the shareholder ownership breakdown (founder, insiders, individuals, institutions) in the most recent year.
