Equity Flashcards
ETF’s reported tracking error
annualized standard deviation of the difference in daily returns between an ETF and its benchmark
Where can information on a company’s return assumptions for pension assets be found?
Footnotes to the financial statements
Two main definitions of cash flow
Free Cash Flow and Residual Income
FCFF vs. FCFE
FCFE is after debt, FCFF is to entire firm, both are after capex and working capital
Residual income
- accounting earnings in excess of the opportunity cost of generating those earnings
- BV + PV of expected future residual earnings
Relative Valuation Model
- Estimates value of asset in comparison to other asset
- P/E
- CF/share
When is FCF model appropriate
- Not dividend paying
- Dividend paying but not consistent
- Investor takes a control approach
when is residual income model appropriate
- not paying dividends, and alternative to FCF model
- expected FCF are negative
DDM Equation
D1 / (r-g)
Share Repurchase Affect on Shareholder Wealth
Neutral (if done at market rates)
Justified P/E
- Also known as fundamental P/E
- calculates P/E on the basis of fundamentals
Dividend Payout Ratio
(1-b)
Retention Rate
- “b”
- fraction of earnings reinvested in the company
Forward Justified P/E
(1-b) / (r-g)
Current Justified P/E
[(1-b) (1+g)] / (r-g)
H Model
- D0 (1+G(L)) + D0H(G(s) - G(L)) / (r - G(L))
- G(L) = Long-term growth rate
- G(S) = Short-Term Growth Rate
- H = half life of high growth period
Sustainable Growth Rate
- g = (b in the mature phase) * (ROE in the mature phase)
- b = retention rate
- (1-dividend payout rate)
- Net Income - Dividends/Net Income
DuPont Decomposition
- ROE = net income/sales (profit margin) * sales/total assets (asset turnover) * total assets/SE (leverage)
- multiple by Net Income-Dividends/Net Income (1- b) to get sustainable growth rate
Adjust Present Value (APV)
- Firm value is calculated by taking debt out of company and discounting by unlettered cost of equity
- Discounting unlettered FCFF by unlevered cost of equity
Equity Value
Firm Value - Market value of debt
FCFF from Net Income
Net Income + Net Non Cash Charges (NCC) + Interest Expense (1-tax rate) - Fixed Capital Investments - Investments in Working Capital
FCFF from CFO
CFO + Interest Expense (1-tax rate) - Fixed Capital Investments
IFRS vs. GAAP Treatment:
1. Interest Received
2. Interest Paid
3. Dividends Received
4. Dividends Paid
IFRS (GAAP)
1. Operating or Investing (operating)
2. Operating or financing (operating)
3. Operating or Investing (operating)
4. Operating or Financing (financing)
FCFE from FCFF
FCFF - interest expense (1-tax rate) + net borrowings
FCFE From Net Income
NI + NCC - FCInv - WCInv + Net Borrowings
FCFE From CFO
CFO - FCInv + Net Borrowings
FCFF from EBIT
EBIT (1- tax) + Dep - FCInv - WCInv
FCFF From EBITDA
EBITDA (1- tax rate) + Dep (tax rate) - FCInv - WCInv
When would net income and FCFE be the same
New investments exactly equal depreciation and company is not investing in working capital or engaging in any new net borrowing
Preferred Dividends Effect on FCFF and FCFE
Add back dividends in FCFF and ignore in FCFE
Law of One Price
Two identical (same or equivalent future cash flows) assets should sell a the same price
Supporting Rationales for P/E
- Earning power is chief driver of investment value
- P/E widely recognized and used by investors
- Differences in P/E’s may be related to difference in long-run average returns on investments in those stocks
Potential Drawbacks to P/E
- EPS can be 0, insignificantly small, or negative
- The ongoing or recurring components of earnings that are most important in determining intrinsic value can be difficult to distinguish from transient components
- EPS may be distorted from different accounting standards
Normalized P/E
- P/E based on longer-run expected average EPS (type of trailing P/E)
- Based on level of EPS that the business could be expected to achieve under mid-cyclical conditions
Molodovsky Effect
Observation that P/Es tend to be high on depressed EPS at the bottom of a business cycle and tend to be low on unusually high EPS at the top of a business cycle
Two methods to calculate normalized EPS
1) Method of historical EPS, in which EPS in calculated as average EPS over the most recent full cycle
2) Method of average return on equity, in which normalized EPS is calculated as the average ROE from the most recent full cycle, multiplied by the current book value per share (preferred)
Earnings Yield
- Same as inverse price ratio
- EPS/P
Calculating Benchmark Value of P/E
- Median of industry P/E’s
- count NMF ones as 0
PEG
-P/E to growth
- P/E divided by expected earnings growth rate
- Low ratios better than high (less than 1 is very attractive)
