Q

Present value models (DCF)

A
  • Estimate value as present value of expected future benefits.
  • Future benefits are defined as either cash distributed to shareholders (dividend discount models) or cash available to shareholders after meeting the necessary capital expenditure and working capital expenses (free-cash-flow-to-equity models).

DDM or DCF

Q

Multiplier Models (Comps)

A
  • Estimate intrinsic value based on a multiple of some fundamental variable.
  • For example, either Stock price / earnings (or sales, book value, cash flow).
  • Or Enterprise value / EBITDA (or sales).

Q

Asset-based valuation models

Book Value or Carrying Value models

A

Benjamin Graham’s NCAVPS: Net Carrying Asset Value Per Share= Total Assets – Total Liabilities

  • Estimate the value of equity as the value of assets less the value of liabilities.
  • Book values of assets and liabilities are typically adjusted to their fair values when using these models.

Choice of model depends on availability of information & the analyst’s confidence in the appropriateness of the model; generally analysts will try to use more than one model

Q

An analyst finds that all the securities analyzed have estimated values higher
than their market prices. The securities all appear to be:

A. overvalued.
B. undervalued.
C. fairly valued.

A

Undervalued

B is correct. The estimated intrinsic value for each security is greater than
the market price. The securities all appear to be undervalued in the market.

Note, however, that the analyst may wish to reexamine the model and inputs to check that the conclusion is valid.

Q

An analyst finds that nearly all companies in a market segment have common shares which are trading at market prices above the analyst’s estimate of the shares’ values. This market segment is widely followed by analysts.

Which of the following statements describes the analyst’s most appropriate
first action?

A. Issue a sell recommendation for each share issue.
B. Issue a buy recommendation for each share issue.
C. Reexamine the models and inputs used for the valuations.

A

C.

C is correct.

It seems improbable that all the share issues analyzed are overvalued, as indicated by market prices in excess of estimated value—particularly because the market segment is widely followed by analysts.

Thus, the analyst will not issue a sell recommendation for each issue. The analyst will most appropriately reexamine the models and inputs prior to issuing any recommendations.

A buy recommendation is not an appropriate response to an overvalued security.

Q

An analyst, using a number of models and a range of inputs, estimates a security’s value to be between ¥250 and ¥270. The security is trading at ¥265.

The security appears to be:
A. overvalued.
B. undervalued.
C. fairly valued.

A

C is correct.

The security’s market price of ¥265 is within the range estimated
by the analyst.

The security appears to be fairly valued.

Q

An analyst is estimating the intrinsic value of a new company. The analyst has one year of financial statements for the company and has calculated the average values of a variety of price multiples for the industry in which the company operates.

The analyst plans to use at least one model from each of the three categories of valuation models. The analyst is least likely to rely on the estimate(s) from the:

A. multiplier model(s).
B. present value model(s).
C. asset-based valuation model(s).

A

B.

Because the company has only one year of data available, the analyst is least likely to be confident in the inputs for a present value model.

The values on the balance sheet, even before adjustment, are likely to be close to market values because the assets are all relatively new.

The multiplier models are based on average multiples from the industry.

Q

Based on a company’s EPS of €1.35, an analyst estimates the intrinsic value of a security to be €16.60. Which type of model is the analyst most likely to be using to estimate intrinsic value?

A. Multiplier model.
B. Present value model.
C. Asset-based valuation model.

A

A.

The analyst is using a multiplier model based on the P/E multiple.

The P/E multiple used was 16.60/1.35 = 12.3.

Q

DIVIDENDS: Background for DDM

Definition & Types

A

Dividend: Distribution paid to SHs based on the number of shares owned

Not an obligation; must be authorized by BOD

Types:

  1. Stock Dividends: Bonuses: does NOT affect market value of equity; thus not relevant for valuations
  2. Cash Dividends:
    - Regular cash dividends: paid out consistently. A stable or increasing dividend is viewed as a sign of financial stability.
    - Extra dividend or Special Dividend: one-time cash payments when situation is favourable; Irregular dividends; Used by cyclical firms
    - Liquidating dividend: distributed to SHs when a company goes out of business
  3. Share Repurchases:
    - Not considered for dividends, voting & EPS calculation

Reasons for repurchase:

  • Signal belief that shares are undervalued
  • Flexibility in amount & timing of distribution
  • Tax efficiency
  • Absorb increase in outstanding shares

Q

SHARE REPURCHASE (BUYBACKS)

A

Alternative to cash dividends

Company uses cash to buyback shares

BUYBACKS affect market value of equity & thus are relevant for valuations.

Impact on SH’s wealth is equivalent to a cash dividend.

Shares bought back are called Treasury Stock/Shares & this process is called a TREASURY OPERATION

Q

Key reasons why companies engage in share repurchases instead of cash dividends?

A
  1. to support share prices. company believes in own share’s value so buys back.
  2. flexibility in the amount and timing of cash distribution.
  3. when tax rates on capital gains are lower than tax rates on dividends.
  4. to offset the impact of employee stock options.

Q

DIVIDEND PAYMENT CHRONOLOGY/SCHEDULE:

A

DECLARATION= Announcement
Ex-Dividend Date= Too late to get dividend
Cum-Dividend Date= Last chance to get dividend
Holder-of-record Date= Company checks who gets dividend
Payment date= Money is paid out

  1. Declaration date: Company declares dividend.
  2. Ex-dividend date: Cutoff date on or after which buyers of a stock are not eligible for the dividend. Also is the first date when the stock trades without dividend.
  3. Holder-of-record date: A record of shareholders who are eligible to receive the dividend is made (usually two days after the ex-dividend date).
  4. Payment date: Dividend payment made to the shareholders.

Q

For the next 3 years, the annual dividends of Stock X are expected to be 1, 1.1 & 1.2. The expected stock price at the end of Year 3 is expected to be $20. The required rate of return on the shares is 10%.

What’s the estimated value?

A

PV= CF/(1+r)^n

PV (1)= 1/(1.10)^1= 0.909
PV (2)= 1.1/(1.10)^2= 0.909
PV (3)= 1.2/(1.10)^3= 15.928

1+2+3= 0.909+0.909+15.928= 17.74

On Calc:

CF0 = 0; CF1 = 1; CF2 = 1.1; CF3 = 21.2; I = 10%, CPT NPV

Q

In practice FCFE models are often used.

FCFE Formula
What’s value?
When are FCFE models used?

A

FCFE= CFO - FC Inv + Net borrowing

Value= PV of all future FCFEs

Used when
- not paying dividends
- dividends too small
- dividends not indication of company’s ability to pay dividends
- unable to figure out company’s dividend payout policy

Use CAPM to calculate required rate of return on share

Ke= Rf + B(Rm-Rf) or Rf + Market Risk Premium

Q

A $100 par value, non-callable, non-convertible perpetual preferred stock pays a 5% dividend.

The discount rate is 8%.

Calculate the intrinsic value of the preferred share.

A

Dividend is given at par value or face value

Expected annual dividend
= 0.05 x 100 = 5

Value of the preferred share
= 5.00/0.08 = 62.50

32
Q

Types of Preferred Shares:

Maturing, Callable & Puttable

A

Types of Preferred Shares:

Maturing Shares:

  • Fixed maturity date
  • Value: Present value of dividends + final payment

Callable Shares:
- Company can call share back
- Redeemable by issuer before maturity
- Trade at lower value due to call risk

Putable Shares (Retraction Option):
- Investors can put shares back to company
- Holder can sell back to issuer
- Trade at higher value due to put option

Based on traded value: P>M>C

Q

Case 1: Non-callable, Non-convertible, Perpetual Preferred Shares

The following facts concerning the Union Electric Company 4.75 percent perpetual preferred shares are as follows:

■ Issuer: Union Electric Co. (owned by Ameren)
■ Par value: US$100
■ Dividend: US$4.75 per year
■ Maturity: perpetual
■ Embedded options: none
■ Credit rating: Moody’s Investors Service/Standard & Poor’s Ba1/BB
■ Required rate of return on Ba1/BB rated preferred shares as of valuation
date: 7.5 percent.

A

Estimate the intrinsic value of this preferred share.

Basing the discount rate on the required rate of return on Ba1/BB rated
preferred shares of 7.5 percent gives an intrinsic value estimate of
US$4.75/0.075 = US$63.33.

Explain whether the intrinsic value of this issue would be higher or lower if the issue were callable (with all other facts remaining unchanged).

ANSWER:

The intrinsic value would be lower if the issue were callable. The option to redeem or call the issue is valuable to the issuer/company because the call will be exercised when doing so is in the issuer’s interest.

The intrinsic value of the shares to the investor will typically be lower if the issue is callable. In this case, because the intrinsic value without the call is much less than the par value, the issuer would be unlikely to redeem the issue if it were callable; thus, callability would reduce intrinsic value, but only slightly.

Q

GORDON’S GROWTH MODEL (CGDDM)

Dividends grow INDEFINITELY @ constant rate

Also called CONSTANT-GROWTH DDM

A

Gordon Growth Model Basics:

Assumes constant dividend growth rate
Formula: V₀ = D₁ / (r - g)

Value (V₀) is based on Dividends of next year (D₁)

Key Components:

D₁: Next period’s dividend
r: Required rate of return
g: Dividend growth rate

Growth Rate Estimation Methods:

  • Historical growth rate
  • Industry median growth rate
  • Sustainable growth rate: g = b × ROE

Ke= Rf + B(Rm-Rf)= Rf+(BMRP)
Retention Rate= (1-DPR)
(g)= ROE
RR= ROE(1-DPR)
Next Year’s Dividend (d1)= d0
(1+g)
Intrinsic Value= D1/Ke-G

36
Q

GGM ASSUMPTIONS, CONSIDERATIONS & LIMITATIONS?

A

Model Assumptions:

Dividends reflect company earnings
Perpetual dividend growth
Constant required return
Growth rate < required return

Key Considerations:

Impact of dividend changes on value is complex
Remember to discount future values to present

Limitations:

Not suitable for non-dividend paying companies
May not work for currently unprofitable companies

37
Q

GGM IMPORTANT FORMULAE

A

Ke= Rf + B(Rm-Rf)= Rf+(BMRP)
Retention Rate= (1-DPR)
(g)= ROE
RR= ROE(1-DPR)
Next Year’s Dividend (d1)= d0
(1+g)
Intrinsic Value= D1/Ke-G

38
Q

Estimate the intrinsic value of a stock given the following data:

Beta = 1.5
RFR = 3%
market risk premium = 5%
dividend just paid = $1.00
dividend payout ratio = 0.4
return on equity = 15%.

A

Ke= Rf + B(Rm-Rf)= Rf+(BMRP)
Retention Rate= (1-DPR)
(g)= ROE
RR= ROE(1-DPR)
Next Year’s Dividend (d1)= d0
(1+g)
Intrinsic Value= D1/Ke-G

Calculate Ke
Ke= Rf + B(Rm-Rf)= Rf+BMRP
= (3+1.5
5)= 10.5%

Calculate Sustainable Growth Rate (g)

(g)= ROE(1-DPR)
= 1.5
15%= 0.225
or
15%(1-0.4)=15%0.6= 0.09= 9%

Next Year’s Dividend (d1)= d0(1+g)
= 1
(1+0.09)= 1.09

Intrinsic Value= D1/Ke-G
= 1.09/10.5-9= 1.09/0.015= 72.66

Thus,
Intrinsic Value of Stock: $72.67

OR

V0 = D1/r−g = D0∗(1+g)/r−g

Note: the values of r, g and expected dividend are not given.

So, first calculate these values.

r = RFR + Beta x market risk premium
= 3+ 1.5 x 5 = 10.5%

g = b x ROE = (1 - 0.4) x 0.15 = 0.09 Applying the Gordon growth model, V0 = 1 x 1.090.105 – 0.09 = 72.67

39
Q

A company does not currently pay dividend but is expected to begin to do so in 4 years.

The first dividend is expected to be $2.00 and to be received at the end of year 4.

The dividend is expected to grow at 5% into perpetuity. The required return is 10%.

What is the estimated current intrinsic value?

A
  • The first dividend is expected at the end of year 4.
  • Use the Gordon growth model to find the value at the end of year 3.

To calculate the intrinsic value, first calculate the value of dividend at the end of period 3 and then discount it to t=0 using the Gordon growth model.

V3 = D4/r–g= 2/0.10–0.05 = 40

V0 = 40/(1.1)^3 = 30.05

Do not forget to discount 40 to the present value.

The undiscounted value is commonly presented as one of the answer options as a trap.

40
Q

Two-Stage Dividend Discount Model:

A

Two-Stage Dividend Discount Model:

Formula:
V₀ = Σ[D₀(1+gₛ)ᵗ / (1+r)ᵗ] + Vₙ / (1+r)ⁿ

Used for companies transitioning from growth to mature stage

First 3 years= dividend % is 10% then after company stabilizes, dividend rate. is 5%: 2 stage model.

Components:

D₀: Current dividend
gₛ: Short-term growth rate
r: Required rate of return
n: Number of years in high growth period
Vₙ: Terminal value at time n

Terminal Value Calculation:

Uses Gordon Growth Model
Vₙ = Dₙ₊₁ / (r - g)
g: Long-term growth rate

41
Q

The current dividend for a company is $4.00. The dividends are expected to grow at 20% a year for 4 years and then at 10% after that. The required rate of return is 18%. Estimate the intrinsic value.

A

Calculate terminal value (V₄):

D₄ = $4 * (1.20)⁴ = $8.29
D₅ = $8.29 * 1.10 = $9.12
V₄ = $9.12 / (0.18 - 0.10) = $114

Discount cash flows:

Year 1: $4.80 / 1.18 = $4.07
Year 2: $5.76 / (1.18)² = $4.13
Year 3: $6.91 / (1.18)³ = $4.20
Year 4: ($8.29 + $114) / (1.18)⁴ = $63.08

Sum all discounted values:

Intrinsic value = $4.07 + $4.13 + $4.20 + $63.08 = $75.48

42
Q

Three-Stage Models

A

Three-Stage Models:

Extends two-stage concept
Stages: Growth, Transition, Maturity
Allows for more nuanced valuation

Key Considerations:

Accurately estimating growth rates is crucial
Model complexity increases with more stages

43
Q

In GGM, what happens if Value of DIVIDENDS is increased?

A

V0= D1/r-g

If D1 goes up, we may think that V0 also goes up

But, when dividends increase, Retention Rate decreases. i.e. less money being retained.

and ROE*RR= g

Thus, growth rate (g) is going to be low

So, denominator goes up.

Both numerator & denominator going up.

So, can’t say that value may always increase

44
Q

For the next three years, the annual dividends of a stock are expected to be
€2.00, €2.10, and €2.20. The stock price is expected to be €20.00 at the end of three years. If the required rate of return on the shares is 10 percent, what is the estimated value of a share?

A

The present values of the expected future cash flows can be written as
follows:

V₀ = D₁/(1+r)¹ + D₂/(1+r)² + D₃/(1+r)³ + TV₃/(1+r)³

V0 = 2/(1.1)^1 + 2.1/(1.1)^2 + 2.2/(1.1)^3

Calculating and summing these present values gives an estimated share
value of

V0 = 1.818 + 1.736 + 1.653 + 15.026
= €20.23.

The three dividends have a total present value of €5.207, and the terminal stock value has a present value of €15.026, for a total estimated value of €20.23.

45
Q

An investor expects a share to pay dividends of $3.00 and $3.15 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. At the end of the second year, the investor expects the shares to trade at $40.00. The required rate of return on the shares is 8 percent.

If the investor’s forecasts are accurate and the market price of the shares is currently $30, the most likely conclusion is that the shares are:

A. overvalued.
B. undervalued.
C. fairly valued.

A

V
= 3/(1.08)^1 + 3.15/(1.08)^2 + 40/(1.08)^3

46
Q

Two investors with different holding periods but the same expectations and
required rate of return for a company are estimating the intrinsic value of a
common share of the company. The investor with the shorter holding period will most likely estimate a:

A. lower intrinsic value.
B. higher intrinsic value.
C. similar intrinsic value.

A

C is correct.

The intrinsic value of a security is independent of the investor’s holding period.

IV= INDEPENDENT OF INVESTOR’S HOLDING PERIOD

47
Q

An equity valuation model that focuses on expected dividends rather than
the capacity to pay dividends is the:

A. dividend discount model.
B. free cash flow to equity model.
C. cash flow return on investment model.

A

A is correct.

Dividend discount models focus on expected dividends.

V0 = D1 / (1 + r) + D2 / (1 + r)^2 + D3 / (1 + r)^3 + V3 / (1 + r)^3

V0 = $5.50 / (1 + 0.15) + $6.05 / (1 + 0.15)^2 + $6.655 / (1 + 0.15)^3 + $69.8775 / (1 + 0.15)^3

V0 ≈ $59.68

Q

MULTIPLIER MODELS

A

Price Multiple is a ratio that compares a company’s share price with some monetary flow/value for evaluation purposes

51
Q

PE Ratio

A

PE Ratio
- Trailing EPS
- Forward/Leading/Estimated EPS

Low PE companies usually outperform High PE companies

52
Q

PB Ratio

A

Price to Book Ratio

Price/BVPS or mcap/bv

BVPS= A-L/NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING

LOW PB companies usually outperform HIGH PB companies

53
Q

PS Ratio

A

Trailing or Leading

Can never be negative; used for companies with -ve earnings where PE fails

54
Q

PCF: Price to Cash Flow Ratios

A

FCFF or CFO may be used

55
Q

For a growing company, what will be higher- the leading PE or trailing PE?

A

Trailing PE is HIGHER than leading PE

Leading= Forward EPS
Trailing= Past EPS

If earnings increasing in future, denominator will increase, so overall PE is low for forward.

Thus, trailing is higher

56
Q

Relationships among Price Multiples, Present Value Models & Fundamentals

Based on fundamentals:
P0/E1= (D1/E1)/(r-g)
or
P0/E1= DPR/r-g

g= RRROE or (1-DPR)ROE

A

P0= D1/r-g

P0/E1= (D1/E1)/(r-g)
OR
P0/E1= DPR/r-g

So,
PE can be calculated if D1, r & g are given

This is called JUSTIFIED PE. Why?

because PE is justified based on fundamentals in RHS & E1 is used instead of E0

57
Q

Between 2008 to 2012= a company’s DPR has been 40% on average.

In 2008= the dividend was $1.00 & has grown steadily to $1.80 for 2012.

This growth rate is expected to continue in the future.

Using a discount rate of 20%, estimate the company’s justified forward PE

A

P/E1= DPR/r-g
= 40/20-g
= 0.4/0.2-g

2008= Y1
2012= Y2
n= 4

CAGR FORMULA
(Final/Initial)^1/n-1

g= (1.8/1)^1/4 - 1= 0.16

PE= 0.4/0.2-0.16
= 10

58
Q

Does a higher dividend payout ratio increase the PE?

A

Higher DPR
Lower RR
Lower g
Higher Price

Justified PE= DPR/r-g
numerator increases
g decreases; denominator increases

So, both numerator & denominator going up. Thus, PE impact is unknown.

58
Q

HOW TO CALCULATE g?

A

Use CAGR formula

(final/initial)^1/n -1

59
Q

Justified forward PE estimates can be sensitive to small changes in assumptions

A

PE= DPR/r-g

Must be careful with the numbers being used

59
Q

METHOD OF COMPARABLES (trading comps)

A

This method compares relative values using multiples & is based on the LAW OF ONE PRICE (Identical goods should sell for SAME price in efficient markets)

Law of One Price: Similar items must have same price

60
Q

Based on the P/S data below, which stocks appear undervalued?

GM: 0.01
Ford: 0.14
Daimler: 0.27
Honda: 0.49
Toyota: 0.66

A

CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: Diff. companies @ same point in time

If all companies are similar-

GM is the most undervalued because we are paying 1 cents for every $1 of sales

Toyota= most expensive= because we’re paying 66 cents for every $1 of sales

But, other factors must be considered.

When this data was curated, GM was on the verge of bankruptcy

61
Q

CROSS-SECTIONAL VS TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

A

CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS: Diff. companies @ same point in time

TIME SERIES: One company over the course of time

62
Q

Is the Cannon stock overvalued or undervalued relative to historical levels?

2004= 14.3
2005= 15.9
2006= 19.6
2007= 13.8
2009= 11.3

A

Undervalued.

11.3 is lower than other years

But, other factors must be considered.

Might be down because expected growth rate is flat or down

In 2008, camera sales declined.

63
Q

What’s the difference between:

PE multiples based on comparables
&
PE multiples based on fundamentals

A

PE multiples based on comps are based on The Law of One Price (Similar items must have same prices in an efficient market)

This must be compared RELATIVE to others to arrive at the valuation

PE multiples based on fundamentals: PE= DPR/r-g or JUSTIFIED PE

Justified PE can tell us what the PE should be based on fundamentals

and can be compared directly with the ACTUAL PE ratio to see whether its overpriced or underpriced.

64
Q

ENTERPRISE VALUE

A

Total Value of Net Operating Assets to All SHs (debt+equity+minority)

A= L+SHE
A= Total Debt + Total Equity

Market Value of Debt + Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Preferred Shares - Cash

EV= MVE + MVD + MVP - Cash & Cash Equivalents

If market values aren’t available, use estimates (BV of debt is often equal to MV of debt)

65
Q

EV/EBITDA

A

Proxy for Cash Flow
since EBITDA is CASH OPERATING PROFIT

D&A= non-cash expenses

So, we’re looking at how much OPERATING CASH is company generating

Lower is better; but has other considerations

66
Q

The EV/EBITDA ratio of a company is 10

EBITDA is 20 million

MV of debt is 50 million

Cash is 2 Million

What’s MVE?

A

EV= MVD+MVE+MVP - Cash

= 50 + MVE - 2
= 48 + MVE

EV/EBITDA * EBITDA = EV
10*20= 200
EV= 200

SO,

200= 48 + MVE
MVE= 200-48
MVE= 152

Answer: 152

67
Q

ASSET BASED VALUATION

A

Estimates the Market Value or Fair Value of an entity’s assets & liabilities

Generally suitable for companies that have low proportion of intangible & “off the books” assets viz. IPR, patents etc

Used to value PVT. Enterprises

A= L-SHE
If assets are intangible, difficult to value them using this method

68
Q

CONSIDERATIONS FOR ASSET-BASED VALUATIONS

A
  • Book Values might be very different from market values. So, BV must be adjusted to reflect MV.
  • Some intangible assets are not reported; asset-based value (going to be based on tangibles) could be considered as a “floor value”
  • Asset values are hard to estimate in a HYPER-INFLATIONARY environment
69
Q

ADVANTAGES OF COMPARABLES VALUATION USING MULTIPLES

A

Predict future returns (PE & PB)
Widely used
Easily available
Time-series comparison
Cross-sectional comparison

70
Q

DISADVANTAGES OF COMPARABLES VALUATION USING MULTIPLES

A

Lagging numbers tell about past (P/E0)*
Not always comparable across firms
Impacted by economic conditions
Might conflict with fundamental method (PE= DPR/r-g)
Sensitive to different accounting methods
Negative denominator (negative earnings)

*doesn’t apply if estimates are used

71
Q

DCF ADVANTAGES

A

Based on PV of future cash flows
Widely accepted & used

72
Q

DCF DISADVANTAGES

A

Inputs have to be estimated
Estimates sensitive to inputs
Stable mature companies

Price Multiples valuation based on fundamentals have advantages & disadvantages similar to DCF methods

73
Q

ASSET BASED MODEL: ADVANTAGES

A

Floor Values (uses tangible assets)
Works when assets have easily determinable market values
Works well for companies that report fair values

74
Q

ASSET BASED MODEL: DISADVANTAGES

A

Market values hard to determine
Market values often different from book values
Do not account for intangible assets
Hard to estimate in Hyperinflation
