| dc.description.abstract | This work project examines CoStar Group’s February 2025 acquisition of Matterport, assessing value creation and potential overpayment. Valuation and strategic rationale are analyzed using discounted cash flow, adjusted present value, market-based multiples, and scenario-based synergy analysis. Results show intrinsic overvaluation of Matterport, with value creation contingent on synergy realization. The project also studies 18-month post-merger performance of 307 U.S. deSPACs from 2020 to 2024, documenting widespread underperformance driven primarily by structural SPAC features rather than firm fundamentals. | eng |
