Executive overview

Independent leveraged buyout case study modelling a minority sponsor investment in Stryker, built as a self-initiated technical exercise. The analysis includes entry/exit multiple assumptions, leverage structuring (senior debt sizing, amortisation profile), and returns triangulation via DCF and comparable multiples. Sensitivity analysis across exit multiple and operating assumptions stress-tests the base-case IRR, illustrating a full sponsor-style investment thesis from entry through exit.
