What is a leveraged buyout and why it matters. A leveraged buyout is when a company is acquired using a significant amount of borrowed money. The buyer uses debt to fund the purchase — and the target's assets are often used as collateral. LBOs can be profitable if the acquired company's cash flow covers the debt. But if the debt is too high, the company can struggle to survive. This is what we teach in Module 5.2 — How to Find the Catalyst in Trading. https://youtu.be/Meo42a7Sngw
