Welcome! My name is Ben, and my goal is to help you build your ideal career.
A bit about me - after graduating from U.C. Berkeley, I worked as an investment banking analyst at J.P. Morgan, where I closed 15 transactions valued at over $14 billion. I'm currently pursuing an MBA degree at Wharton (Class of 2024), and previously, I worked on consulting projects for Deloitte, Cisco, and Andreessen Horowitz.
Videos are published around 10AM EST (New York time).

Would be great to see you build a merger accretion/dilution model from scratch?

It's an exciting opportunity to be part of the future of technology!
Hey Ben! What do you use to edit your videos?
Where is the model. Cant find it
GO BEN!!!!
excuse me, where is the excel model? I don't see it
i think the geopolitical risk for TSM is being overstated by western media, i do believe that TSM will deepen its root in taiwan, most advanced chips will be made in Taiwan, CC WEI, the new chairman of TSM has made it very clear, it is time for TSM to sell its value, which means TSM will raise its wafer price, which will significantly boost its revenue in the new few years, CFO of TSM has made it very clear, TSM started harvest its CAPEX, their capex will start go down from its peak, which means more cash flow from operation and less CAPEX, and more free cash flow to pay out more dividend in the next few years, good for the long term investor
What is ADR here?
Nice place Ben. I use whey too and live about a mile from London Business School.
Looking forward to this series!
Great video! at the start As the FY of nvidia is delayed by 1 month to apportion to the calendar i tI think you should do 11*12 Nvidia CY + 1/12 Nvidia PY. Thats why your numbers were off quite far from key items table. you took most of the next financial year data. Revenue example 2014 4633.666667 2015:4982.666667 2016:6751.666667 2017:9480.333333
Babe wake up, new Rare Liquid video dropped
Love how clean your excel financial models look. The spacing, bold, italics, colors used. Makes reading it super clear. Thanks for the LBO walkthrough Ben. Appreciate you!
Love it, thank you! Awesome as always Ben.
Ótimo conteúdo, simplesmente perfect.
The DCF is great but with the assets (human and physical capital) in Taiwan there is an alarming amount of geopolitical that always makes me hesitate from taking a position.
Are there any alternatives for FactSet? You seem to get quite a lot of info from there. I’d like to start learning financial modeling and be able to build a DCF but I feel like finding the numbers would be much harder without it.
S&P CapIQ, Refinitiv (now LSEG), 10-k's

Can u build 3-statement model
Your sound is still low.
Hey, nice modeling! But do you think you could showcase your keyboard inputs for the excel shortcuts?
I believe he also has an excel shortcuts video on his channel if you are interested
Awesome to see some international companies get valued. I'd be hard pressed to think of another channel that does anything like this at this level of detail. Can I humbly suggest Uniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing (FRCOY) for the next DCF ? I think there's good discussion to be had given the Bank of Japan's recent move to end negative interest rates coupled with a stronger push by Fast Retailing to increase the global presence of Uniqlo and their smaller budget brand, GU. Would also be interesting to discuss reports that the Bank is considering and possibly already has intervened with the price of the Yen tanking this year.

I wanna hear more about the cool items you have from the apartment as well
I wish I don’t have to go back to previous streams and build entire format. Every company in old video has slightly different structure and I always have to go through and not able to finish what Jin g the latest ones… or is there any ready to go templates that I’m missing…? Great stream though!!
Damn. Can’t believe i missed this. Is there a way to know you’re going to stream ahead of time?
Second this!
What a wonderful interview, great questions and answer, please keep up good work! Also very hands-on insights provided by Bruce. Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to hear such a detailed interview for strategy consulting.
I'm a first-year PE analyst, also in tech. This is sooooooooooo good. The succinct talking, the hustle, the hatred for comps, nailing the fundamentals.... hit so much harder after you've actually made mistakes. Would recommend this video to every junior analyst:)
Hii Ben! I am very drawn to dcf but can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that somehow we are keying in 50/60% growth in forecast period !! Doesn't that make the model look really far fetched!? Would you share your 2 cents on it ?
valuable information here keep it coming ben
Thanks, will do!
Cheers from Brazil, found your channel searching mba content, awesome videos ✌️👏
Awesome! Thank you!
This is my fav video of urs
Bruh whatever happens,Just don’t stop doing this ❤❤❤
Hi, Thanks you a lot but I do not understand why you are using the market value for the equity value or for equity + debt value
Excited for it!
Çok güzel bir analtım. Teşekkürler. Devamını bekliyoruz
Hell yeah, would join your discord for sure
Good interview questions but this guy is scared to open up, with any job there are downsides but he completely dodged the question
Very good podcast 👍
You are the best bro
Wake up babe, Rareliquid pod just droppped.
Someone has the free excel template? When I click on the link it says that the page is not found... Thanks a lot!

Quick question just so I can understand it properly, in the debt schedule how come the accruing interest isn’t added onto the ending balance or being paid off in the debt waterfall? Is this because it is being paid off in the income statement at the top of the model?
