  • A Valuation of Norske Skogindustrier
    Master Thesis MSc Accounting, Strategy and Control Copenhagen Business School 2013 A Valuation of Norske Skogindustrier - A Strategic and Financial Analysis Student: Henrik Hartwig Hand-in-date: 11.11.2013 Characters incl. spaces: 156.562 (79 pages) Signature: Supervisor: Kay Sun Park Department of Finance Acknowledgements In memory of Jacob August Hartwig This thesis is dedicated to my grandfather who sadly passed away in July 2013. His kind support and encouragements helped me through a period in life which could be characterized as challenging. He encouraged me to work hard in order to reach great things in life. He will never be forgotten. I would like to thank my supervisor, Kay Sun Park, for her support and challenging thoughts as the thesis progressed. Her proven knowledge within the field of corporate finance and valuable feedback has stimulated the workflow of this paper. I wish her the best in the upcoming future. Finally, a special thanks to family and friends which have supported me through this period. I hope that the future will bring us closer together, and I apologize for my none-existence during the latest months of hard work. 2 Executive Summary The objective of this thesis was to assess the fair value of the NSG stock per 17.07.2013. The fair value assessment was facilitated through the establishment of a strategic and financial analysis, enabling the provision of a reliable forecast budget. NSG is recognized as a world leader in the paper industry, yet the shareholders of the company have experienced an immense decline in equity since mid 2007.
