equity Flashcards
What is going concern value, and why is it important?
Going concern value is the value of a company given it keeps operating as it was. It is important in valuing a company wanting to hold it longer term in the portfolio.
What is Liquidation Value and why is it important?
Liquidation Value is the value of a firm given that you sell everything immediately.
Investment Value, what is it?
Investment value gives certain stocks more value. Why? Because they might complement your portfolio very well, meaning you might want to pay more.
What are the 5 Forces important for valuing the competitive landscape surrounding a firm?
Porter’s five forces are:
- Competition in the industry
- Potential of new entrants into the industry
- Power of suppliers
- Power of customers
- Threat of substitute products
What are the 2 types of valuation mechanisms?
Top down and Bottom Up
What is pairs trading?
Pairs trading is going SHORT an overvalued firm, and going LONG an undervalued firm. Great for firms operating in the same sort of competitive landscape.
What is a CONGLOMERATE DISCOUNT?
Since a firm might be MASSIVE, think like Franklin Templeton - since the firm might be a tad unfocused on a certain stream of income, you might want to actually discount the value you come to in your valuation.
If you were to RETIRE DEBT early, what might that do to your net income? What might be the knock on effects?
Keep it high - analysts have to remember to really scrutinize financial statements to suss out what firms might be doing to distort their earnings. EPS will be heightened
What is alpha?
Return IN EXCESS OF the benchmark. So the it is the holding period return MINUS the holding period return of the benchmark.
What is the HOLDING PERIOD RETURN?
(1+r/n)^n
Explain the FAMA FRECH MODEL in detail please.
The FAMA FRENCH MODEL. It is a 3 Factor Approach for one to get a return. Factor 1: you have to be in the market. Factor 2: The size factor. Factor 3: The price factor.
Risk Free + Market Risk (basically CAPM) + beta 2 (Small Minus Big) {this means the market pays more for small cap stocks, so the higher the beta here, the smaller the stock} + Beta 3 (High Minus Low) {Basically Value firms are better for returns, higher beta means the firm is more a value firm}.
Small Value is where you win.
Large and growth companies just don’t give as good of returns.
Risk Free+β1(RMRF-risk free)+β2SMBt+β3HMLt
Bond Yield + Equity Premium Model. Bond yield is the Short or Long term YTM?
Long
ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) What is this
ROIC is the Net Income - Divs / Equity + Debt.
Equity and Debt are basically all the cash going INTO a firm, the numerator is the return - you would obviously want that to be HIGH
Gross Profit is
Rev - COGS
Gross Margin is
Gross Profit / Rev
There are 3 established ways to value a firm. DDM, Residual Value and FCFE/FCFF. Why might each one be good? In what situations?
DDM is good for dividend paying companies, and if dividends have a, more or less, relationship with earnings.
Residual Income Model is Book Value per share / residual income. Residual income is : Net Income - (Required Return * Monies invested). This method is great for non-dividend paying stocks OR companies with negative earnings.
FCFF/FCFE is good for non dividend paying firms. FCFF is good for levered firms or firms with a negative FCFE.
How is Gordon’s Growth model different from DDM?
DDM is just discounting future cash flows. It does NOT take dividend growth into consideration. The Gordon Growth model solves this.
How might you perhaps model growth?
GDP, Inflation Expectations, Prior dividend growth, industry growth, technology expansion, market growth, etc.
What is the perpetuity formula
D/r
PVOG - Present Value of Growth. What is this and explain the formula behind it? Hint: Think E1
it is like a premium one might pay based on how well a firm might capitalise on growth opportunities. The formula is : V = E1/r + PVOG. You can determine the premium folks but on the growth capitalision through this formula.
What is the sustainable growth rate?
ROE * (1-Divident Payout Ratio)
V = (EPS (1) / r ) + PVOG. what is this formula telling us
This is valuing the PVOG (present value of growth. The v is the value of the stock, and the EPS and r should be given, therefore, simple algebra should take us to what PVOG is. This is how much the market thinks the firm can capitalise on growth opportunities
What does the H Model Assume and what is the formula and what does the H mean in the formula
V_0=(D_0 (1+g_L )^ +D_0H(g_S-g_L))/(r-g_L )
The H Stands for Half, or half the life of the assumed longevity of the short term growth rate. The H model assumes that the growth is going to decline linearly until it hits the long term growth rate.
Cagr formula
(P1/P0)^1/n
What is the required rate of return formula using the Dividend Yield? And what is the dividend yield?
Div Yield is Dividend/Price. The formula is
r = D Yield (1+gL) + H (gS-gL)+gL, Think of it sort of like 3 premiums to make r. There is the dividend yeild, then there is the H model bit in the middle, then there is just the long term growth rate.
Constant Growth Rate. Else can it be called?
The Capital Gains Rate
Trailing and Forward PE
Today’s market price divided by the trailing 12 months’ earnings per share
Today’s market price divided by a forecast of the next 12 months’ earnings per share
DDM vs Free Cash Flow. What is a major difference?
DDM is cash PAID to shareholders. FCF measures cash AVALIABLE to shareholders.
FCFE and FCFF Formulas - from start to finish - Firm Value, Equity Value and Equity Value per share
Firm value is just the gordon growth model, but the the FCFF, FCFE numerator. FCFF uses WACC as the denominator, FCFE uses required rate of return.
Equity Value is the firm value minus debt.
Then divide by total shares outstanding for value per share.
What is the formula for r using the H Model
r = D Yield (1+gL) + H (gS-gL)+gL
What are the 3 growth stages, and what do they mean?
Growth = High Dividend Growth Maturity = Low Dividend Growth Transition = Growth Slows
What is spreadsheet modelling and why is it so great?
It can accommodate a wide variety of assumptions. This is the same with multistage DDM
What is the DuPont formula for calculating the growth rate
Growth = ROE x 1 - Dividend Payout.
What is the dividend payout ratio
The dividend payout ratio is the amount PAID OUT from net income to shareholders.
Why do we Add back interest expense to calculate FCFF?
Remember, FCFF is the cash available to creditors (including bondholders). At the time of the financial statement being created (from which one is gathering this information) the interest expense IS available to the creditors, and thus should be included in FCFF.
What is the formula for FCFF? From Net Income
FCFF = Net Income + Non Cash Charges + Interest (1*t) - Fixed Capital Investment - Increases Working Capital Investment
What are fixed capital expenses?
Buying trucks, equipment and other long term assets. These aren’t recorded on the income statement SO they are deducted.
Working Capital, what is it? Give an example
Current Assets - Current Liabilities. Something like inventory for currents and accounts payable for current L
What is the CFO formula for FCFF. Explain how this is the same as the Net income formula.
CFO + Interest (1-t) - Fixed Capital. The changes in working capital are already captured by the CFO.
Explain FCFF. The process through Net Income, NCC, Interest, Fixed Capital and Changes in working capital
FCFF is trying to find cash available TO CREDITORS. So we need cash money on hand that can be spent for the creditor. We take Net Income (there are some non cash items included in Net Income) so we add those Non cash charges back on. This takes us closer to the cash amount available. Then Interest. If we pay back creditors, we need not include Interest expense. Next, the other 2 are non income statement items, and the cash flows would have come from NON CFO items - working out these BALANCE SHEET items gives us insight on other cash movements, which will take us to the current cash available.
Should infrequent items be included in longer term analysis and why
No, because they are not predictable.
If you buy an asset (truck) for 60,000 and sell it later for 100,000, how does this effect FCFF?
This 40,000 difference will be included in net income, but must be removed prior to calculating the Net Income for FCFF. This discrepency will be addressed when you take a look at the investments in fixed capital.
An increase in Working Capital will do what to FCFE
Decrease FCFF.
Compute FCFE from FCFF
FCFE = FCFF - I(1-t) + Net Borrowing
Firm Value is taken from FCFF, while EQUITY Value is from FCFE - true or false?
True
WACC Formula (extended version)
WACC = MV Debt / MV DEBT*MV EQUITY) *r (1-t) + MV Equity / MV Equity + MV DEBT) * r
EBIT FCFF Formula please
EBIT * 1-t + NCC - Fixed - Working Capital
Remember, you DONT add back interest again, because it is included in EBIT
How do you get to Net income from EBIT?
Take away TAX and Interest Expense
FCFE Formula and meaning
It is when a company has met ALL its financial obligations - this is why we subtract Interest - that is something you gotta pay mate. Also, remember to not include cash in working capital
FCFE = Net Income+Depreciation−FCInv−WCInv+Net borrowing
FCFF and FCFE - why do we not include Interest, and why do we add Net Borrowing to FCFE
FCFF is Free Cash Flow to FIRM, while the alternate is to equity. FCFE is to equity shareholders, and interest expense is owed to creditors, NOT equity holders, thus that cash flow is not available to them
When calculating FCFF, Fixed asset investment is derived from where?
the Begining value of the asset at each period. DO NOT Take depreciation into consideration
Notes Payable and Long Term debt are included in what in FCFE?
Net Borrowing
