The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate the value of Gorenje’s share in 2017 and to examine why the Chinese investor paid twice as much for the share. I came to a conclusion that when valuing a company using the discounted cash flow method, the appraiser needs to be very careful in predicting the future business of the company, since even minor differences can cause major changes in the final value of equity. According to my calculations, the value of equity per Gorenje's share was 5,49 EUR in 2017, which is half as many Hisense group paid for the share. In the mid – 2018 Hisense corporation took over Gorenje with the successful takeover bid of 12 EUR per share. Thus, we have seen that there is a significant difference in the price of a share, if it is determined by a minority or majority owner. The majority owner would be able to take control of the company and use the advantage of additional synergy returns from the company by optimizing costs and changing business operations.
