EQUITIESWhy?

Key to understanding valuations

What is investment worth today?

Value of: Enterprise Entity Company/Firm

Business Application For Investor:

Determine value of asset/business/company

For Firm: Determine cost of

Common Stock: Owners, Directors, and Managers

Represents ownership. Ownership implies control. Stockholders elect directors. Directors hire management. Preemptive right. Since managers are “agents” of

shareholders, their goal should be: Maximize stock price.

Page 7: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

When is a stock sale an initial public offering (IPO)?

A firm “goes public” through an IPO when the stock is first offered to the public.

Prior to an IPO, shares are typically owned by the firm’s managers, key employees, and, in many situations, venture capital providers

7

Page 8: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

What is a seasoned equity offering (SEO)?

A seasoned equity offering occurs when a company with public stock issues additional shares.

After an IPO or SEO, the stock trades in the secondary market, such as the NYSE or Nasdaq.

Classified Stock

Classified stock has special provisions.

Could classify existing stock as founders’ shares, with voting rights but dividend restrictions.

New shares might be called “Class A” shares, with voting restrictions but full dividend rights.

Page 10: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

10

Tracking Stock The dividends of tracking stock are tied

to a particular division, rather than the company as a whole. Investors can separately value the divisions. Its easier to compensate division managers

with the tracking stock. But tracking stock usually has no voting

rights, and the financial disclosure for the division is not as regulated as for the company.

Page 14: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

Why Invest in Stock?

For Growth in Value From Dividends & Cap Gains

Generating Total Return = R

Stock Price = Growth = g Dividend Return or Yield = Annual divid / Price of stock= D1

/ Po

Return on Stock = Return on Divid + Growth (cap gains) R = D1 /Po + g (but want price

today)

R – g = D1 /Po Finally: Po = D1 / R - g 14

Page 15: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

Constant Growth Approach to Equity Valuations

Po = D1 / R – g Discounting the Divids (or CFs) by R-g (return

adjusted for constant growth) Constant growth model: works when g is

constant rate (%) & R > g If g > R, then have supernormal or non-constant

growth If so, then look at PVs of CFs generated the stock to

determine its price today If we need R (req’d return) to use as disct factor, we

can use SML relationship from CAPM SML: Ri = rRF + (RM - rRF)bi .

Page 16: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

Stock Value = PV of Dividends

What is a constant growth stock?

One whose dividends are expected to grow forever at a constant rate, g.

P0 =^

(1 + rs)1 (1 + rs)2 (1 + rs)3 (1 + rs)∞

D1 D2 D3 D∞+ + + …

+

Page 17: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

17

For a constant growth stock:

D1 = D0(1 + g)1

D2 = D0(1 + g)2

Dt = D0(1 + g)t

If g is constant and less than rs, then:

P0 = ^ D0(1 + g)

rs – g=

D1

rs – g

If g > r, P0 = ∞ !

What happens if g > rs?

P0 = ∞^> 1, and

So g must be less than rs for the constant growth model to be applicable!!

If g > rs, then

Page 20: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

20

Required rate of return: beta = 1.2, rRF = 7%, and RPM = 5%.

rs = rRF + (RPM)bFirm

= 7% + (5%)(1.2)= 13%.

Use the SML to calculate rs:

Expected Divd & Cap Gains Yield (after t = 3)

During nonconstant growth, dividend yield and capital gains yield are not constant.

If current growth is greater than gk, current capital gains yield is greater than g.

After year 3 (t = 3), gk = constant = 6%, so CGY = 6%.

Because rs = 13%, after yr 3 div yld = 13% – 6% = 7%.

Intrinsic Stock Value vs. Quarterly Earnings

If most of a stock’s value is due to long-term cash flows, why do so many managers focus on quarterly earnings?

Page 38: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

38

Intrinsic Stock Value vs. Quarterly Earnings

Sometimes changes in quarterly earnings are a signal of future changes in cash flows. This affects current stock price (Po).

Sometimes managers have bonuses tied to quarterly earnings.

Expected Dividend Yield and Capital Gains Yield (after t = 3)

During nonconstant growth, dividend yield and capital gains yield are not constant.

If current growth is greater than g, current capital gains yield is greater than g.

After t = 3, g = constant = 6%, so the capital gains yield = 6%.

Because rs = 13%, after t = 3 dividend yield = 13% – 6% = 7%.

Both yields are constant over time, with the high dividend yield (19%) offsetting the negative capital gains yield.

What if company pays no dividends?

Discount Free Cash Flows (CFs which can be returned to investors) instead of dividends

Where FCF = NOPAT – Net Capital Spending

Page 50: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

Uses of Free Cash Flows

Pay interest on debt Repay principal on debt Pay dividends to equityholders Repurchase stock from

Equity Valuation using FCFs

A young firm just recorded a $<1.0> million FCF. It expects the FCF 1-yr from today to be $<5.0>million. In yrs 2 & 3, they are expected to become positive at $10 and $20 million. In the 4th yr, a constant growth in FCFs is expected to kick-in at 6%. The required return for investments of this risk is 10%. The firm has $40 million in debt, and 10 million shares outstanding. What’s the price per share today?

Using Stock Price Multiples to Estimate Stock Price

Analysts often use the P/E multiple (the price per share divided by the earnings per share).

Example: Estimate the average P/E ratio of

comparable firms. This is the P/E multiple.

Multiply this average P/E ratio by the expected earnings of the company to estimate its stock price.

Page 60: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

60

Using Entity Multiples The entity value (V) is:

the market value of equity (# shares of stock multiplied by the price per share)

plus the value of debt. Pick a measure, such as EBITDA, Sales,

Customers, Eyeballs, etc. Calculate the average entity ratio for a

sample of comparable firms. For example, V/EBITDA V/Customers

Page 61: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

61

Using Entity Multiples (Continued)

Find the entity value of the firm in question. For example, Multiply the firm’s sales by the V/Sales multiple. Multiply the firm’s # of customers by the

V/Customers ratio The result is the firm’s total value. Subtract the firm’s debt to get the total

value of its equity. Divide by the number of shares to calculate

the price per share.

Page 62: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

62

Problems w/ Market Multiple Methods

It is often hard to find comparable firms. What are relevant multiples? New Co.’s often lack earnings Average ratio for sample of comparable firms

often has a wide range. I.E, ave P/E ratio might be 20, but range from 10 to

50. How do you know whether firm should be compared to low, average, or high performers?

Differences between firms in comparables pool i.e: growth rates, risk, cost of capital

Page 63: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

63

What if an equity’s dividend is fixed? No g !

P0 = ^ D1

rs – g

So, Po = D1 /rs

And return = D1 / Po

It’s a perpetuity

Page 64: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

64

Preferred Stock

Hybrid security. Similar to bonds in that preferred

stockholders receive a fixed dividend which must be paid before dividends can be paid on common stock.

However, unlike bonds, preferred stock dividends can be omitted without fear of pushing firm into bankruptcy.

A determinant of Growth

Relationship between ROE, Retention Rate, EPS growth, and Dividends

A firm has an ROE of 25% & Retention Rate of 80%. If the most recent EPS was $3.00, what’s the expected dividend at the end of the year?

Why are stock prices volatile?

P0 = ^ D1

rs – g

rs = rRF + (RPM)bi could change. Inflation expectations Risk aversion Company risk

g could change.

Page 68: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

68

Consider the following situation.

D1 = $2, rs = 10%, and g = 5%:

P0 = D1/(rs – g) = $2/(0.10 – 0.05) = $40.

What happens if rs or g changes?

11% $28.57 $33.33 $40.00

Page 70: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

70

Are volatile stock prices consistent with rational pricing?

Small changes in expected g and rs cause large changes in stock prices.

As new information arrives, investors continually update their estimates of g and rs.

If stock prices aren’t volatile, then this means there isn’t a good flow of information.

Page 71: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

71

What is market equilibrium?

In equilibrium, the intrinisic price must equal the actual price.

If the actual price is lower than the fundamental value, then the stock is a “bargain.” Buy orders will exceed sell orders, the actual price will be bid up. The opposite occurs if the actual price is higher than the fundamental value.

Page 75: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

75

How is equilibrium established?

If rs = + g > rs, then P0 is “too low.”

If the price is lower than the fundamental value, then the stock is a “bargain.” Buy orders will exceed sell orders, the price will be bid up until:

D1/P0 + g = rs = rs.

What’s the Efficient MarketHypothesis (EMH)?

Securities are normally in equilibrium and are “fairly priced.” One cannot “beat the market” except through good luck or inside information.

EMH does not assume all investors are rational.

EMH assumes that stock market prices track intrinsic values fairly closely.

EMH (continued)

If stock prices deviate from intrinsic values, investors will quickly take advantage of mispricing.

Prices will be driven to new equilibrium level based on new information.

It is possible to have irrational investors in a rational market.

Weak-form EMH

Can’t profit by looking at past trends. A recent decline is no reason to think stocks will go up (or down) in the future. Evidence supports weak-form EMH, but “technical analysis” is still used.

Semistrong-form EMH

All publicly available information is reflected in stock prices, so it doesn’t pay to pore over annual reports looking for undervalued stocks. Largely true.

Page 80: 1 CHAPTER 7 Stocks, Stock Valuation, and Stock Market Equilibrium

80

Strong-form EMH

All information, even inside information, is embedded in stock prices. Not true—insiders can gain by trading on the basis of insider information, but that’s illegal.

Markets are generally efficient because:

100,000 or so trained analysts—MBAs, CFAs, and PhDs—work for firms like Fidelity, Morgan, and Prudential.

These analysts have similar access to data and megabucks to invest.

Thus, news is reflected in P0 almost instantaneously.

Market Efficiency

For most stocks, for most of the time, it is generally safe to assume that the market is reasonably efficient.

However, periodically major shifts can and do occur, causing most stocks to move strongly up or down.

Implications of Market Efficiency for Financial Decisions

Many investors have given up trying to beat the market. This helps explain the growing popularity of index funds, which try to match overall market returns by buying a basket of stocks that make up a particular index.

Implications of Market Efficiency for Financial Decisions

Important implications for stock issues, repurchases, and tender offers.

If the market prices stocks fairly, managerial decisions based on over- and undervaluation might not make sense.

Managers have better information but they cannot use for their own advantage and cannot deliberately defraud investors.

Rational Behavior vs. Animal Spirits, Herding, and Anchoring Bias

Stock market bubbles of 2000 and 2008 suggest that something other than pure rationality in investing is alive and well.

People anchor too closely on recent events when predicting future events. When market is performing better than

average, they tend to think it will continue to perform better than average.

Other investors emulate them, following like a herd of sheep.

Conclusions Markets are rational to a large extent, but at

time they are also subject to irrational behavior. One must do careful, rational analyses using

the tools and techniques covered in the book. Recognize that actual prices can differ from

intrinsic values, sometimes by large amounts and for long periods.

Good news! Differences between actual prices and intrinsic values provide wonderful opportunities for those able to capitalize on them.
