Future Value:
FV = x (1+ K/M) ^ mn
Where:
X= principle amount
K= Interest Rate
M= number of times interest compounds
N= Years
So:
Investing $100 with semi annual interest at 8% for 1 year =
100(1+ .08/2) ^2*1
=$104
Present Value:
Lump Sum:
PV= Xn / (1+k/m) ^ mn
Where:
X=Principle
K=discount rate
M= number of times compounding
N=Years
So:
100$ received in 2 years with 8% discount rate compounded semi-annually
100/ (1+.08/2) ^ 2*2
=85.48
Annuity:
Paid at the end of each period
For Simple Interest:
For Compounded Interest:
1. Calculate Effective Annual Interest Rate (EAIR)
2. Use PV formula, plugging EAIR into k
Annuity Due:
Paid at the beginning of each period
So:
Risk and Probability:
1. Generally, risk is a function of the probability of something occurring
Risk: Quantifiable thing we know may occur
Uncertainty: thing we do not know of
2. A Portfolio or Expected return on a stock, then can be calculated by:
The Risk weighted average return of a stock/portfolio =
Sum of Weight of (Chance) of Economic Outcome or Return x Return
3. Continuous Probability Distribution:
Assign a probability of every possible state of economy and rate of return for stock in each economy
Taking weighted average return of each gives us a distribution of returns
Standard Deviation:
Technically a probability weighted average deviation of expected return
Way of quantifying expected deviation from the expected return
Greater Standard Deviation= Greater Risk
C. Quantitative Methods of Valuation:
Generally:
There are two types of valuation:
Fundamental: Evaluating the particular aspects of a company, without regard to the market
Market Value: Value comes from the market, and the ‘castles in the air’ theory
See Smith Drug Stores I
1. Balance Sheet Valuation:
Book Value:
BV per Share = BV/# of shares
BV= TA-TL
Flaws:
Restricted by the accounting conventions
Historic Cost not reflective of current values
Due to focus on Balance Sheet, which is ‘snap shot’
Does not look at earnings or cash flow
Does not include intangible value market attributes to it
Overall Value is skewed
focuses on the liquidation value instead of Going Concern (Income Generation and earnings)
Adjusted Book Value:
Attempts to avoid focus on historic cost by increasing certain assets to reflect market value
Process:
1. Assets on Balance Sheet restated to show current market value
2.Then BV=TA-TL
Flaws:
Net Asset Value:
Generally:
Tries to avoid reliance on balance sheet and historic cost, by valuing as a going concern
Considers the costs associated with establishing name recognition, training, developing products, creating brands, customer base, earnings potential Reflecting “Going Concern”
Goodwill:
Reflects the value of a target company, and values as a going concern
Some intangible value above and beyond the assets
Typically arises in a corporate acquisition
Process:
If an acquirer purchases a company at greater then Book Value, there must be something else they are acquiring, above the asset value
that value is considered the going concern value of the future earnings
Donahue v. Draper (infra):
Goodwill = value above net tangible assets
1. X= Earnings x Multple (representing goodwill value)
2. Goodwill= X-Net Tangible Assets
3. Good will= amount greater then net assets (BV)
Market to Book Ratio:
Use:
An evaluation of the price of a share, and how much greater that share is above the book value
Can be used to give measure of how investors regard the subject company compared to others
Process:
1. Calculate Book Value
2. Calculate market Value
3. Market Value per share / Book Value per share
Comparison of Private to Public Corporation:
Could take the M/B ratio of public company to determine comparison
For instance, if industry average M/B = 5 and your BV=2…2x5= 10/share mv
So, can be used for valuation purposes
Meaning:
> 1: shows a measure of market value that is greater then book value…and valuation of a going concern and goodwill
May show value above book value, and thus more accurately depict going concern value
Overall Flaws with Balance Sheet Valuation:
Accounting Conventions reliance on historical cost
Even with NAV, and Adjusted book value, unless we are valuing a company for its liquidation value, we don’t want to know what the assets cost, or what the company is worth if sold now…
We want to know what the corporation, going concern, can do for us in the future
2. Income Statement Valuation:
1. Capitalized Earnings Method:
Process:
1. Come up with earnings
2. Choose capitalization rate
Earnings Estimate:
Earnings may mean the bottom line
Flaw:
Accounting Conventions
Earnings have, subtracted out of them, both cash and non cash items
Non-Cash items= Depreciation and deferred taxes
Changes in accounting methods may significantly alter earnings
Adjustments in a Close Corporation:
Expenses of a corporation, such as executive compensation, can be too high in some close-corporations…If they are too high, and method of self-dealing is occurring these could be thought of as lost earnings for the company and added back in to determine earnings value
Focus on Past, Present Future:
Past gives indication of, perhaps, what may occur in future
But future is what will, if occurs, bring us earnings in the future
So, forecast earnings into the future
Adjustments to Earnings:
Adjusted Earnings:
In order to avoid accounting conventions that deal with non-cash items, Restate:
Add back all non-cash expenses: Deferred Taxes and Depreciation
Normalized Earnings:
Process by which we take the average of earnings over the past x number of years
Avoids extraordinary, and abnormal earnings
Capitalization Rate (See Discount Rate, infra):
Evaluates risks of company, and industry
Used in order to discount the future value of earnings at a fixed percent to the present value
Premium, or interest rate you would expect to earn on that risky asset if you acquired it now
Methods to Develop Capitalization Rate:
1. Create your own
based on risk profile, comparable companies, industry, specific company issues,
Make adjustments depending on future risks, or indicators in the past of potential issues
Low Risk: ~12.5%
Moderate Risk: ~ 15-25%
High Risk: >~ 25%
Adjusted per your company specific issues
2. Reciprocal of P/E Ratio:
1/ P/E = Capitalization Rate
P/E is a multiple of the price at which a share of stock is sold for, relative to the earnings that share is worth
Idea that current Price reflects risks, and issues with the future earnings
Higher reflects market belief that positive events are to come
Note:
If a close corporation is in question, then the P/E of comparable companies can be used to value a share
Comparable Companies: Size, industry, growth rate, history…
Issue:
Assure comparable companies when using P/E to determine capitalization rate
Finding a like company is key to accurately portraying a share price
Issues:
Introduces market valuation into a fundamental approach
However, argument should be that we should introduce market valuation into it, at least some, to determine a fair market value
3. CAPM
4. WACC
5. Gordon Model: K= (D1/V) + G
Formulas:
1. Value of Share= E/R
2. Value of Share = Earnings x P/E
Flaws with Income Statement Valuation:
1. Also limited to accounting conventions
Non-cash items are excluded
2. Prediction of Future earnings and capitalization rate make it subject to subjective interpretation
3. Fails to address what will occur with the cash flows created from earnings
Dividends and/ or Retained Earnings
4. Comparison Issues are also subjective
3. Cash Flow Methods of Valuation:
General:
As income statement and balance sheet valuation methods fail to take into account the present value of future dividend streams, what shareholder may be entitled to, cash-flow valuation fills this void
A stock’s worth, and value derive from the expected stream of future dividends—paid in cash
Premise:
DDM assumes you will not sell, and are not trading day-to-day, but rather holding for the long term
Because earnings are made up of what can be plowed back and paid out, there is no contradiction
Earnings, thus, are not counted specifically—would double count—as you are including the portion of the earnings a shareholder is entitled to…i.e., the pay out of the earnings in the form of dividends…what part of earnings you receive
1. The Dividend Discount Model (Gordon Model):
Premise:
That a share of common stock is equal to the expected flow of dividends it produces, discounted to present value
Process:
Step 1: Forecast Future Dividends
Remember:
Payable at Board of Directors’ discretion
Legal Capital Rules apply
Growth, financial position and future prospects
So predicting future dividends are not easy
Step 2: Choose a Discount Rate
Will incorporate, as aforementioned, a time value of money and adjusted risk for a particular corporation
Can Use:
1. CAPM
2. WACC
3. Capitalization Rate
4. Create your own
5. Use DDM to do so
adjusted for particular company in question
Step 3: Apply No-Growth, Constant Growth, or Variable Growth Rate, per your model
The Model of Equation:
No-Growth Stock:
Applicable if there is no expected growth in the dividend in the future
D
V = K
Where:
D= Dividend
K=Discount Rate
Note:
Discount Rate can be solved for
K= D/V
Constant Growth Stock:
Applicable where a dividend of a company is predicted to grow at a constant rate in future
V = D1 / (k-g)
Where:
The Discount Rate:
Again, there are methods that are different which can be employed to create the discount rate:
The discount rate is a premium, or interest rate you would expect to earn on that risky asset if you acquired it now
So, we discount the future value of a share, or dividend by that ‘interest’ rate, or discount rate
A modified interest rate for that particular stock
1. Create it
2. CAPM
3. Reciprocal of P/E
4. Gordon Model to Calculate K
K= (D1/v) + g
Finding Value of the stock using comparable companies at future point in time
5. WACC
The Growth Rate:
A dividend is attributable to a board of directors’ decision of what to do with Income
Income can be
1. Pay Out Ratio
Amount paid out, in % of earnings, to shareholders in form of dividend
Payout Ratio= Dividends /Earnings
2. Plow Back Ratio
Plowing back means the amount of net income that the board decides to reinvest in the company
Ends up in Retained Earnings
1-Payout Ratio
Method 1 of determining Growth Rate:
1. Take the Payout Ratio
2. Take Return on Equity (ROE)
Growth then, means that the company will pay out a portion of its return on the equity in the company to shareholders, while the remaining portion is plowed back into the company
Makes Sense BV=TA-TL, which = Shareholder’s Equity in Balance Sheet equation (SE=TA-TL), so return on that is return on shareholder’s equity
Method 2:
Calculate average change in dividend over last x number of years
Non-Constant Growth/Terminal Value Model/Horizon Model:
Applicable when the growth rate of the future dividends is inconsistent
General:
When calculating DDM, there is inherently value left on the table from failing to calculate the horizon value of all future dividends
This formula establishes the dividends through a definite period of time, and after that point, utilizes a horizon value to predict the value of all future dividends
Process:
Step 1:
Calculate the present value of the expected future dividends where there is inconsistent growth/non-constant growth
Step 2:
Use Constant Growth rate DDM formula for time period you believe constant growth will begin at
Take Present Value of that
Step 3:
Formula:
1. Calculate the present value of the projected dividends
whether constant or non-constant growth
2. Terminal/Horizon Value calculation
[1 / (1+k) ^ n ] x [Dn / (k-g)]
Where:
n=the last year for which dividends have been discounted
This calculation takes the present value of the terminal value of stock
Or
Terminal Value can be calculated by:
Vn / (1+k) ^n
Which gives you the present value of future terminal value
Where:
n=
Calculate Value at year n, by using comparable mature companies P/E and multiplying by your projected earnings in that year
Flaws: this method succumbs to issues of Income statement valuation, comparability, and prediction
3.
Add the present value of your projected dividends to your selected terminal value
Flaws of DDM:
1. May miss out on future receipt of dividends throughout horizon time
2. Understates value then, as terminal value is not wholly accurate
3. May be subject to analyst’s subjective interpretations and judgment
4. Inapplicable to companies who do not pay dividends
2. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Applicable for many valuation forms, especially if company does not pay dividends
Process:
1. Forecast company’s net cash flows
each year into future and growth
2. Estimate a terminal value of the company at the end of your holding period
Use same calculation for horizon value as DDM
Terminal Cash Flow / (1+k)^n
3. Discount at an appropriate discount rate the present value of each
4. Add the discounted cash flows and discounted terminal value
Flaws:
Forecasting of future cash flows is subjective
Choice of discount rate is subjective
Estimating the terminal value is not wholly accurate
4. Capital Budgeting and Managerial Finance:
General:
The same concepts, above, are used by mangers daily to determine the value of projects and the return and discount rates they will apply to these projects to determine their value to the company
Two common methods: IRR and NPV
Net Present Value:
Simply forecast the future values of a project
Discount all back to present value utilizing a discount rate
Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
[Weight x ROE] + [Weight x Debt]
Effect:
If positive the company should always accept the project as it adds value
If negative company should decline as it decreases value
Internal Rate of Return:
The rate of a return a series of projected future cash flows will produce
5. Market Based Valuation: Modern Portfolio Theory, Efficient Frontier, and CAPM:
Market Based Valuation:
While the above formulas largely deal with the fundamental quantitative data a particular going concern exhibits, and the specific corporation’s attributes
Note:
Some market information (Such as P/E) does creep into fundamental valuation
Market based valuation, in contrast focuses on the market
The market assigns a value to the corporation based on all things that effect it
Modern Portfolio Theory:
Risk Profile:
Generally speaking, the higher the risk an investment bears, the higher return an investor will demand
Risk Averse: Will not accept increased risk without increased return
Risk Neutral: Solely focuses on the return, and does not care about risk needed
Risk Seeking: actually accepts lower return for increased risk…small chance of big success
Diversification:
The idea of creating a portfolio of stocks, which include different returns and probabilities in different states of the economy—idea of combining securities to reduce risks of 1 security
If you buy two securities, and both react exactly opposite, you’ve diversified
3 Beliefs:
1. Expected return of a security is the weighted average of all possible returns
2. Expected return of portfolio is weighted sum of return on individual securities
3. The risk is not necessarily the weighted sum of all risks
Systemic and Non-Systemic Risk:
Out of Modern Portfolio theory, and diversification, we see that there are two types of risk we need to worry about Specific Risk to that company and risk of the system
Firm-Specific Risk:
Diversifiable, unique, specific, unsystematic risk
Because we see that diversification can be done between particular stocks, the particular risk can be, theoretically, negated
So diversification can allow an investor to reduce unsystematic risks and only focus on Systematic risks
Non-Firm Specific Risk:
Systematic Risk ßeta
The risk that should be focused on, then, to maximize return
The risk you seek return for
Beta—ß:
A statistical measure of how a particular stock reacts to market risk
Correlation of stocks movement to markets movement
ß of 1: There is a 1:1 return with the market
ß of >1: Return will be Greater then market (More Risk)
ß of <1: Return will be less then market (Less Risk)
Efficient Frontier:
A graphical showing of possible portfolios with different risk profiles
Maximizes expected return for risk
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Because we should only be compensated for systematic risk, or a companies sensitivity to the system, the value of a share should show this
See Smith Drug Stores V
Components:
ß (Beta): the measure of relationship between risk of individual security and risk of system or market
Note:
A higher ß means a higher level of risk
Correlation is higher to market changes, so they are more sensitive and varying
a (Alpha): A measure of the accuracy of CAPM
=Stock’s Actual Return – CAPM Expected Return
> 0: Shows greater then what was expected
< 0: Shows less then expected
RF (Risk Free Rate):
The return one could get risk-free, through for instance, T-bills
RM (Return on Market):
The standard return of the market
CAPM:
Expected Return= RF+ ß [Rm-Rf]
Premium:
Market Premium
Rm-Rf
The premium return you are gaining above taking the risk free rate
Risk Premium for Particular Stock
ß (Rm-Rf)
The premium return you are gaining above the market premium, proportional to particular stock beta
Beta adjusted return on market for particular stock’s correlated risk to the market
The return on a stock should exceed the risk free rate by an amount proportional to beta
Flaws of CAPM:
1. Assumptions:
Assumes Risk averse investors measure risk in terms of ß
Assumes all investors have a common time frame for investment
Assumes all investors have same expectations of future Systematic Risks
No Transaction Costs, no taxes
Assumes ECMH
If these assumptions have issues, then CAPM has issues
2. Lack of use of fundamental valuation:
Unlike fundamental valuation, here no fundamentals are used
We only look at the stock price relevant to the market
Does not look at what a company is doing as a going concern
Even though Beta may reflect this somewhat, not largely included
Counter Argument:
CAPM merely gives you an ‘expected rate of return’ for a stock
That rate, discount rate, or cap rate, can then be used in any of the fundamental valuation equations to take a hybrid approach of fundamental and market valuation
3. Fosters Irresponsibility:
By focusing on market, and not on what a company does, who its composed of or what it offers you don’t care about corporate responsibility, but instead stock price
By focusing on CAPM, has increased volatility
Stock turnover is much greater
“Stock owners” are not common, and short term return is king
Therefore, accountability of who is running corporation is hurt, and no one really pays attention to who is running it
Creates Corporate governance issues and consequences for overall market then
4. Business Judgment Rule:
CAPM and Modern Portfolio Theory create an argument for BJR
If an investor can diversify against any one particular stock’s or company’s risk, then the law should encourage continued deference of courts and weaker oversight by courts of director actions
Stock holders don’t need the protection, in essence—protect themselves
