    inputs to alternative valuation models?

  • What techniques aid estimating company sales?
  • How do we estimate the profit margins and

    earnings per share for a company?

  • Chapter 15 Questions

    • What factors do we consider when estimating the

    earnings multiplier for a firm?

  • What two specific competitive strategies can a

    firm use to cope with the competitive environment

    in its industry?

  • When should we consider selling a stock?
  • Company Analysis and Stock Selection

    • Good companies are not necessarily good

    investments

  • In the end, we want to compare the intrinsic

    value of a stock to its market value

  • Stock of a great company may be overpriced
  • Stock of a lesser company may be a superior

    one with management and opportunities that yield

    rates of return greater than the firms required

    Growth Companies and Growth Stocks

    • Growth stocks are not necessarily shares in

      growth companies

    • A growth stock has a higher rate of return than

      other stocks with similar risk

    • Superior risk-adjusted rate of return occurs

      because of market under-valuation compared to

      other stocks

    • Studies indicate that growth companies have

      generally not been growth stocks

    • Defensive Companies and Stocks

      • Defensive companies future earnings are more

      likely to withstand an economic downturn

    • Low business risk
    • Not excessive financial risk
    • Defensive stocks returns are not as susceptible

      to changes in the market

    • Stocks with low systematic risk
    • Cyclical Companies and Stocks

      • Sales and earnings heavily influenced by

      aggregate business activity

    • High business risk
    • Sometimes high financial risk as well
    • Cyclical stocks experience high returns is up

      markets, low returns in down markets

    • Stocks with high betas
    • Speculative Companies and Stocks

      • Speculative companies invest in sssets involving

      great risk, but with the possibility of great

      gain

    • Very high business risk
    • Speculative stocks have the potential for great

      surprises and above-average risk adjusted rates

      of return because the stocks are undervalued

    • Value stocks appear to be undervalued for reasons

      besides earnings growth potential

    • Value stocks usually have low P/E ratio or low

      ratios of price to book value

    • The Search for True Growth Stocks

      • To find undervalued stocks, we must understand

      the theory of valuation itself

      Theory of Valuation

      • The value of a financial asset is the present

      value of its expected future cash flows

    • Required inputs
    • The stream of expected future returns, or cash

      flows

    • The required rate of return on the investment
    • Stream of Expected Returns (Cash Flows)

      • From of returns
      • Depending on the investment, returns can be in

      the form of

    • Earnings
    • Dividends
    • Interest payments
    • Capital gains
    • Time period and growth rate of returns
    • When will the cash flows be received from the
    • investment?

      Required Rate of Return

      • Determined by the risk of an investment and

      available returns in the market

    • Determined by
    • The real risk-free rate of return, plus
    • The expected rate of inflation, plus
    • A risk premium to compensate for the uncertainty

      of returns

    • Sources of uncertainty, and therefore risk
    • premiums, vary by the type of investment

      Investment Decision Process

      • Once expected (intrinsic) value is calculated,

      the investment decision is rather straightforward

      Economic and Industry Influences

      • If trends are favorable for an industry, the

      company analysis should focus on firms in that

      industry that are positioned to benefit from the

      economic trends

    • Firms with sales or earnings particularly

      sensitive to macroeconomic variables should also

      Structural Influences

      • Social trends, technology, political, and

        regulatory influences can have significant

        influence on firms

      • Early stages in an industrys life cycle see

        changes in technology which followers may imitate

        and benefit from

      • Politics and regulatory events can create

        opportunities even when economic influences are

        weak

      • Company Analysis

        • Competitive forces necessitate competitive

        strategies.

      • Competitive Forces
      • Current rivalry
      • Threat of new entrants
      • Potential substitutes
      • Bargaining power of suppliers
      • PPT COMPANY ANALYSIS AND STOCK VALUATION PowerPoint presentation
      • Bargaining power of buyers
      • SWOT analysis is another useful tool
      • Firm Competitive Strategies

        • Defensive or offensive
        • Defensive strategy deflects competitive forces in

        the industry

      • Offensive competitive strategy affects

        competitive force in the industry to improve the

        firms relative position

      • Porter suggests two major strategies low-cost

        leadership and differentiation

      • Low-Cost Strategy

        • Seeks to be the low cost leader in its industry
        • Must still command prices near industry average,

        so still must differentiate

      • Discounting too much erodes superior rates of

        return

      • Differentiation Strategy

        • Seeks to be identified as unique in its industry

        in an area that is important to buyers

      • Above average rate of return only comes if the

        price premium exceeds the extra cost of being

        unique

      • Focusing a Strategy

        • Firms with focused strategies
        • Select segments in the industry
        • Tailor the strategy to serve those specific

        groups

      • Determine which strategy a firm is pursuing and

        its success

      • Evaluate the firms competitive strategy over time
      • SWOT Analysis

        • Examination of a firms
        • Strengths
        • Competitive advantages in the marketplace
        • Weaknesses
        • Competitors have exploitable advantages of some

        kind

      • Opportunities
      • External factors that make favor firm growth over

        time

      • Threats
      • External factors that hinder the firms success
      • Favorable Attributes of Firms

        • Peter Lynchs list of favorable attributes
        • Firms product is not faddish
        • Company has competitive advantage over rivals
        • Industry or product has potential for market

        stability

      • Firm can benefit from cost reductions
      • Firm is buying back its own shares or managers

        (insiders) are buying

      • Applying the Valuation Models (From Chapter 11)

        • Discounted Cash Flow Techniques
        • Based on the basic valuation model the value of

        a financial asset is the present value of its

        expected future cash flows

      • Vj SCFt/(1k)t
      • The different discounted cash flow techniques

        consider different cash flows and also different

        appropriate discount rates

      • Applying the Valuation Models to Walgreens

        • DDM Valuation with Temporary Supernormal Growth
        • Value Estimate 27.05 (See page 491)
        • Implied P/E of 21 times expected earnings
        • Market Price 35.65 (mid 2004)
        • Prevailing Market P/E of about 18 times current

        earnings

        Applying the Valuation Models to Walgreens

        • Present Value of Free Cash Flow to Equity
        • Value Estimate 35.99 (see page 493)
        • Implied P/E of about 25 times expected earnings
        • Market Price 35.65 (mid 2004)
        • Prevailing Market P/E of about 17 times expected

        earnings

      • Higher P/E justified by higher growth rate and
      • lower beta

        Applying the Valuation Models to Walgreens

        • Present Value of Operating Free Cash Flows
        • Value Estimate 33.13 (see page 496)
        • Implied P/E of 26 times current earnings
        • Market Price 35.65 (mid 2004)
        • Prevailing Market P/E of about 18 times

        Applying the Valuation Models (From Chapter 11)

        • Relative Valuation Techniques
        • These techniques assume that prices should have

        stable and consistent relationships to various

        firm variables across groups of firms

      • Price-Earnings Ratio
      • Price-Cash Flow Ratio
      • Price-Book Value Ratio
      • Price-Sales Ratio
      • Applying the Valuation Models to Walgreens

        • All four relative valuation ratios increasing

        over time for Walgreens, its industry, and the

        market

      • Suggests that changes are caused by aggregate

        economic variables

      • Walgreens experienced a larger increase than its

        industry in all ratios, while lagging the market

        in terms of the P/E ratio in several years

      • Specific Valuation with the P/E Ratio

        • Using the P/E approach to valuation
        • Estimate earnings for next year
        • Estimate the P/E ratio (Earnings Multiplier)
        • Multiply expected earnings by the expected P/E

        ratio to get expected price

      • V E1x(P/E)
      • Specific Valuation with the P/E Ratio

        • Earnings per share estimates
        • Time series use statistical analysis
        • Sales — profit margin approach
        • EPS (Sales Forecast x Profit Margin)/ Number of

        Shares Outstanding

      • Judgmental approaches to estimating earnings
      • Last years income plus judgmental evaluations
      • Using the consensus of analysts earnings

        estimates

      • Once annual estimates are obtained, do quarterly

        estimates and interpret announcements accordingly

      • Site Visits, Interviews, and Fair Disclosure

        • Fair Disclosure (FD) requires that all disclosure

        of material information be made public to all

        interested parties at the same time

      • Many firms will not allow interviews with

        individuals, only provide information during

        large public presentations

      • Analysts now talk to people other than top

        managers

      • Customers, suppliers
      • Making the Investment Decision

        • If the estimate of the stocks intrinsic value is

        greater than or equal to the current market

        price, buy the stock

      • If your estimate of the stocks future intrinsic

        value would yield a return greater than your

        required rate of return (based on current

        investment price), then buy the stock

      • If the value is less than its current price, or

        its return would be less than your required rate

        of return, do not buy the stock

      • Ranking Undervalued Stocks

        • How do we rank if we have a budget constraint?
        • Best to rank on the basis of the excess return

        ratio

      • Intrinsic Value/Market Price
      • Influences on Analysts

        • Several factors make it difficult for analysts to

        outperform the market

      • Efficient Markets
      • Markets tend to price securities correctly, so

        opportunities are rare

      • Most opportunities are likely in small, less
