Q

Why is a fundamental investor suspicious about a required return estimated from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)?

A

The measure of the required return from the CAPM is imprecise. It involves an estimate of a beta and the market risk premium. Betas are estimated with standard errors of about 0.25, so if one estimated a beta of 1.2, say, it could actually be 0.95 or 1.45 with reasonable probability. And the market risk premium is a big guess. See the appendix to Chapter 3. Fundamental investors do not like to put speculation into a valuation, and the CAPM required return is speculative.

Q

Why is Growth risky?

A

Growth refers to outcomes in the long-term, and the long-term is uncertain. Growth can be competed away so that, unless the firm has protection―has build a moat around its castle―it’s expected growth may not materialize. Buying growth is thus risky.

Q

A firm currently has a growth rate for residual earnings of 16 percent, but investors
agree that the very long-term growth rate should be the GDP growth rate of 4 per- cent. What determines the speed by which the 16 percent rate fades to the 4 percent rate over time?

A

The degree of competition and the ability of the firm to protect itself from competition―with a brand, with proprietary technology, by adaptive behavior and innovation, for example. The period over which growth reverts to the average is sometimes referred to as the “competitive advantage period” and the speed of reversion to the average as the “fade rate.”

A
  • Measures how efficiently a company uses its inventory by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory value during the period.
  • Inventory turnover ratios are only useful for comparing similar companies, and are particularly important for retailers.
  • A relatively low inventory turnover ratio may be a sign of weak sales or excess inventory, while a higher ratio signals strong sales but may also indicate inadequate inventory stocking
31
Q

OLSPREAD = ROOA - Short-term borrowing rate (after tax)

32
Q

36
Q

Accrual Accounting

A
  • Is a method that allows a company to record revenue before receiving payment for goods or services sold and record expenses as they are incurred. In other words, the revenue earned, and expenses incurred are entered into the company’s journal regardless of when money exchanges hands. We calculate the premium, intrinsic value, and discover sources for value creation.
  • Residual earnings is central in the model.
    -Price is based on the expected future earnings that investors are buying, so the higher the expected earning the higher the P/B ratio.

Q

Growth firm

A

Is a firm that grows residual earnings (that is, it has abnormal earnings growth).

51
Q

Sustainable earnings

A

Sustainable earnings (also called persistent earnings, core earnings, or underlying earnings) are current earnings that are likely to be maintained in the future. Compare with transitory earnings.

52
Q

Transitory earnings

A

Transitory earnings (or unusual items) are current earnings that are not
likely to be repeated in the future. Compare with sustainable
earnings.

53
Q

What is a growth firm?

A

A growth firm is one that is expected to grow residual earnings. As changes in residual earnings are equal to abnormal earnings growth, a growth firm can also be defined as one that can generate abnormal earnings growth, that is, earnings growth (cum-dividend) at a rate greater than the required rate. As residual earnings is driven by return on common equity (ROCE) and growth in equity, a growth firm is one that can increase ROCE and/or grow investment that is expected to earn at an ROCE that is greater than the equity cost of capital.

54
Q

What measure tells you that a firm is a no-growth firm?

A

A no-growth firm has zero or negative residual earnings growth or, equivalently, has growth in cum-dividend earnings at a rate equal or less than the required return.

55
Q

What features in financial statements would you look for to identify a firm as a
growth company?

A

A growth company would have the following features:
* An ROCE greater than the cost of capital
* Increasing residual earnings (that amounts to abnormal earnings growth) due to
* Sales growth (with positive profit margins)
* Increasing profit margins
* Increasing asset turnover
* Growing net investment producing these features
A growth company is one that is expected to have these attributes in the future. It is possible that a firm may have had these attributes in the past but is not expected to have them in the future. And it is possible that a firm may not have these features currently (a start-up, for example), but is expected to have them in the future.

56
Q

What are transitory earnings? Give some examples.

A

Transitory earnings are aspects of current earnings that have no bearing on future earnings. Examples are earnings from a one-time contract, a write-off on unusually large bad debt, a write-down of obsolescent inventory, a one-time uninsured loss of property, a restructuring charge, and profit from an asset sale or a discontinued line of business.

57
Q

Are unrealized gains and losses on financial assets persistent or transitory
income?

A

In one sense, these gains and losses are persistent because they occur every period. But a gain or loss in the current period gives no indication of whether there will be a gain or loss in the future. That is, the expected future gain or loss is zero, irrespective of the current gain or loss. So these gains and losses are treated as transitory.

58
Q

What drives growth in residual operating income?

A

Residual operating income growth is driven by an increase in RNOA and in the NOA that earn at this RNOA. Breaking it down further, ReOI growth is driven by
1. Growth in sales (that drives growth in NOA)
2. Increase in operating profit margins
3. Increase in asset turnovers (so NOA increases but sales increase more that NOA)

59
Q

Explain what is meant by a financing risk premium in the equity cost of capital.
When will a financing risk premium be negative?

A

A financing risk premium is the additional risk that equity holders have of losing value because the firm cannot meet obligations on its net debt. The premium will be negative if the firm has net financial assets rather than net financial obligations.

60
Q

Cost of Capital for Operations

A

WACC

61
Q

Forward Enterprise P/E ratio

A

A stock valuation metric that compares a company’s share price to its projected future earnings

62
Q

Why is it important to understand the “business concept” before valuing a firm?

A

To forecast future financial statements, the analyst must know where the business is going. She must also have an idea of the key drivers that will determine the future financial statements, and these key drivers are determined by the business concept and by customers’ acceptance to the concept. Valuations are made from pro forma financial statements, and pro forma financial statements are those that the business is likely to produce in the future

63
Q

Explain why a fade diagram is helpful for forecasting.

A
  • Fade diagrams give the typical patterns (within industries) of changes in drivers over time.
  • The forecaster takes these patterns as a starting point and asks how the individual firm in question might be different from the average firm.
64
Q

What factors determine the rate at which high operational profitability declines over time?

A
  • Competition is the primary determinant.
  • But the ability of a firm to challenge the competition slows the fade rate. A slow fade rate indicates durable competitive advantage.
65
Q

What is meant by the “integrity” of a pro forma?

A

Pro forma financial statements have integrity if the various parts tie together according to the accounting relations that govern the statements.

66
Q

What is a red-flag indicator?

A

A red flag indicator is a feature within or outside the financial statements that indicates deterioration in profitability in the future.

67
Q

What is an unarticulated strategy?

A
  • An unarticulated strategy is a business idea that is not developed enough to quantify it into pro forma statements.
  • A strategy to research into a cure for cancer does not lend itself readily to financial valuation.
68
Q

What does it mean to say that a firm is negatively levered?

A

A negatively levered firm has more financial assets than financial obligations, that is, it has negative net debt.

69
Q

What does an operating profit margin reveal?

A
  • The operating profit margin is the profitability of sales.
  • The percentage of a dollar of sales that ends up in operating income after operating expenses.
