PAST EXAM Q What are the methods used to measure whether a stock of overvalued, undervalued or fairly valued

A
  1. Market price vs estimate of intrinsic value
  2. Actual multiples vs justified multiples
  3. Expected alpha (topic 2)
  4. Implied growth rate (topic 3)
  5. Implied required return (topic 3)
22
Q

What are the steps to use multiples to make valuation decisions

A
  1. Define the multiple consistently and uniformly across firms being compared
  2. Describe the multiple
  3. Analyse the multiple
  4. Compare multiples and control for differences
23
Q

What are examples of defining the multiple consistently and uniformly across firms

A
  1. Trailing earnings vs Leading earnings

2. Basic EPS vs Diluted EPS

24
Q

When controlling the differences what are two subjective adjustments

A
  1. If the difference in multiples can be explained by differences in the multiples’ determinants, the comparison is inconclusive
  2. If the difference in multiples cannot be explained by fundamentals, the firms will be viewed as RELATIVELY undervalued, fairly valued or overvalued
25
Q

Controlling for differences

What is a modified multiple and what are the limitations

A

PEG ratio = P/E ratio/ expected ST growth rate

  • Assumes linear relationship
  • Does not account for risk
  • Dividing by ST growth forecasts may not capture LT growth prospects
26
Q

Controlling for differences

How to use the regression model

A
  1. Select comparable firms in the same industry
  2. Regress P/E against its fundamentals
  3. Predict a justified P/E using the regression model
  4. Compare the justified P/E with actual P/E
27
Q

What are the limitations of the regression model

A
  • only for sample of stock over a particular time periods
  • coefficients and explanatory power change over time
  • multicollinearity
  • linear relationship
