Conducted a comprehensive analysis of a publicly traded S&P 500 company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using Bloomberg Terminal and Excel. Calculated the after-tax cost of debt by analyzing bond yields and tax rates, estimated the cost of equity via CAPM (including beta regression against S&P 500 returns), and determined capital structure weights using market values of debt and equity. Integrated findings into a dynamic Excel model to compute WACC, ensuring all components were interlinked for real-time updates. Delivered a concise professional report summarizing methodology, key metrics (e.g., beta, cost of debt/equity), and final WACC, demonstrating proficiency in financial modeling, data analysis, and Bloomberg Terminal navigation.
