Fusiones y adquisiciones de empresas : análisis opa sobre Activision Blizzard

Abstract

Resumen: Este estudio consta de dos partes principales, una primera donde analizaremos la situación macroeconómica y en la segunda valoraremos y desarrollaremos la OPA sobre Activision Blizzard. En un primer lugar, realizaremos un análisis de carácter macroeconómico y del entorno donde podremos desarrollar alguno de los índices y estimadores globales de la economía como el MSCI World. Así mismo compararemos los momentos de recesiones pasadas con el momento actual comentando similitudes y contrastando esta evolución con otros indicadores importantes como los bonos basura, los bonos a 10 años y el VIX, También, daremos una explicación al contexto de la globalización y del comercio mundial tras los momentos de tensión vividos durante el año 2022. Como punto adicional, analizaremos la evolución de las fusiones y adquisiciones a lo largo de las últimas décadas, destacando los mejores y peores años para estas operaciones y visualizando los principales sectores en los que se distribuyen y el peso de cada uno. Uno de los aspectos importantes del estudio consiste en determinar y explicar algunos de los factores y motivaciones que influyen en el número de fusiones y adquisiciones. En la segunda parte del trabajo, de forma más práctica, veremos una OPA concreta, la OPA de Microsoft sobre Activision Blizzard, la cual ha sido catalogada como la operación de adquisición más grande de la historia en el sector tecnológico. Por esta razón, se ha hecho imprescindible comentar en esta segunda parte la situación y la evolución de dicho sector hasta la actualidad. Para la valoración de la empresa opada, utilizaremos por una parte el método de descuento de flujos de caja libres, lo que nos permitirá a través del cálculo de varios datos establecer dos escenarios, optimista y pesimista. Ambos escenarios arrojarán una valoración y un precio objetivo para las acciones de la empresa que posteriormente compararemos con el precio pagado en la OPA. Por otra parte, valoraremos Activision Blizzard por múltiplos, lo que nos permitirá a través de una serie de ratios comparar esta empresa con la competencia y con el sector tecnológico en su conjunto.

Abstract: The development of this work will be divided into two main parts, in the first one, we will analyze the macroeconomic situation and in the second one we will assess and develop the takeover bid for Activision Blizzard. In first place, we will carry out an analysis of a macroeconomic nature and of the environment where we will be able to develop some of the indexes and global estimators of the economy such as the MSCI World. Likewise, we will compare the moments of past recessions with the current moment, commenting on similarities and contrasting this evolution with other important indicators such as junk bonds, 10-year bonds and the VIX, we will also explain the context of globalization and world trade after the moments of tension experienced during the year 2022. Additionally, we will analyze the evolution of mergers and acquisitions over the last decades, highlighting the best and worst years for these operations. An important part of this work is to determine and explain some of the factors and motivations that influence the number of mergers and acquisitions. We will analyze also the main sectors in which they are distributed and the weight of each one. In the second part of the work, in a more practical way, we will see a specific takeover bid, Microsoft's takeover bid for Activision Blizzard, which has been classified as the largest acquisition operation in history in the technology sector. For this reason, it has become essential to comment in this second part on the situation and evolution of this sector to date. For the valuation of the offered company, we will use, on the one hand, the free cash flow discount method, which will allow us, through the calculation of various data, to establish two scenarios, optimistic and pessimistic. Both scenarios will yield a valuation and a target price for the company's shares that will later be compared with the price paid in the OPA. On the other hand, we will value Activision Blizzard by multiples, which will allow us, through a series of ratios, to compare this company with the competition and with the technology sector as a whole.
