Learn financial modeling through a practical, step-by-step analysis of IBM. This course teaches you how to structure financial models, develop reliable assumptions, integrate the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, and forecast future financial performance. You’ll apply these concepts to IBM’s financial data, building income statement projections, populating net assets, adjusting balance sheet items, and interpreting operating expenses and accounts payable to improve model accuracy.

Designed for beginners seeking conceptual clarity and experienced learners who want greater depth, the course progresses from model fundamentals and real-world applications to advanced financial modeling and corporate valuation. You’ll evaluate pensions, depreciation, and amortization of intangibles; apply discounted cash flow and continuing operations analysis; and assess EBIT, long-term debt, and adjusted equity value. What makes this course distinctive is its IBM case-study approach, which connects financial modeling theory with direct application. By the end, you’ll be able to build and interpret integrated financial models, create realistic forecasts, analyze valuation impacts, and use your findings to support corporate decision-making and investment analysis.
