The Wall Street Skinny

80. The Finance of HBO's "Succession" Season 3 Part 1

June 29, 2024 Kristen and Jen Season 2 Episode 25

Our long-awaited third season recap of the hit show "Succession" is HERE!  Even if you watched the show and loved it, you might not have understood all of the finer points when it comes to the scheming and negotiations at WayStar Royco.  We are here to break down the key corporate finance plot points driving the drama. 

This season has SO many great finance topics to explore, including LBOs, company valuations, termination fees in a merger, EPS juicing, and much more!  We delve a bit into the real deals that inspired and are referenced in the show, and of course get into the drama and humor of our favorite characters.

We have so many things to cover that we made this a two-part episode!  Stay tuned for part II next week...
