ACG University: Spring Masterclass

Valuation in Today’s Market – What Really Drives Price

Join ACG University for a focused discussion on how companies are truly being valued in today’s M&A environment.

Beyond interest rates, buyers are pricing risk differently, financing structures are evolving, and the gap between “good” and “great” companies is widening. In this moderated fireside chat, experienced valuation and transaction professionals will share practical insights and a West Michigan reality check on current market dynamics.

Speakers:

Alexa Pontus (Vision ESOP)

Chuck King (Adamy Valuation)

Jesse Richardson (Plante Moran)

You’ll learn:

  • What’s materially changed in valuation over the past 18–24 months
  • Which risks buyers are pricing more aggressively
  • How deal structures are bridging valuation expectations
  • What advisors and owners should be doing now to protect value

11:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Catered lunch included
