I Abstract This master thesis performs an equity valuation of Gerresheimer AG, a global manufacturer for the pharma and healthcare industry, and determines its ordinary share price as of 30.11.2018. The state-of-the-art valuation approaches are presented and the industry- and macroeconomic environment of Gerresheimer is analyzed. Afterwards, the equity value of Gerresheimer is determined using the sum of the parts DCF approach, combined with a relative valuation consisting of trading multiples. The Advanced Technologies division of Gerresheimer is valued based on the fair market value of the purchase price. The author issued a buy recommendation with a target price of 78€ as of Nov 30, 2018, with an upside potential of 24% compared to a share price of 63€ as of Nov 30, 2019. The results are subject to a sensitivity analysis, consisting of different scenarios and variations of Gerresheimer´s expected operating performance, completed with a Monte Carlo analysis. Finally, the methodologies and results are compared to the equity report provided by Credit Suisse, a leading multinational investment bank.

O preço das ações ordinárias da referida empresa é infra determinado à data de 30.11.2018. Distintas metodologias de avaliação são apresentadas, bem como uma análise da indústria e do ambiente macroeconómico em que se insere a Gerresheimer. Seguidamente, o valor do capital próprio da empresa é calculado através da combinação de duas abordagens: DCF (soma das partes) e avaliação relativa recorrendo a múltiplos de transação. O valor da divisão de Tecnologias Avançadas da Gerresheimer é determinado com base no justo valor de mercado do preço de aquisição. O autor apresenta uma recomendação de compra a um preço-alvo de 78€ à data de 30.11.2018, com um potencial de retorno de 24% comparativamente com o preço por ação de 63€ a 30 de novembro de 2018. Os resultados obtidos foram sujeitos a uma análise de sensibilidade relativa a diferentes cenários expectáveis da performance operacional da Gerresheimer, análise essa que é complementada com uma análise Monte Carlo. Finalmente, as metodologias e resultados são comparados ao relatório de capital próprio da Gerresheimer AG emitido pela Credit Suisse, um banco de investimentos líder multinacional.
