Abstract
This is the first of a two-case series (BAB026 and BAB027) and provides students with an opportunity to value a firm that is issuing equity for the first time. Students can value the firm either by discounting the firm's cash flows or by using information from comparable firm equity offerings. The firm historically has had little or no debt and plans to retire any bridge financing with its initial public offering proceeds. Consequently, the valuation exercise can take place without considering debt financing.
