CHAPTER 9Stocks and Their Valuation

• Features of common stock
• Determining common stock values
• Preferred stock

2
Facts about common stock

• Represents ownership
• Ownership implies control
• Stockholders elect directors
• Directors elect management
• Managements goal Maximize the value of the stock

3
Intrinsic Value and Stock Price

• Outside investors, corporate insiders, and
  analysts use a variety of approaches to estimate
  a stocks intrinsic value.
• In equilibrium, a stocks price equals its
  intrinsic value.
• Outsiders estimate intrinsic value to help
  determine which stocks are attractive to buy
  and/or sell.
• Stocks with a price below (above) its intrinsic
  value are undervalued (overvalued).

4
Different approaches for estimating the intrinsic
value of a common stock

• Dividend growth model
• Corporate value model
• Using the multiples of comparable firms

5
Dividend growth model

• Value of a stock is the present value of the
  future dividends expected to be generated by the
  stock.

6
Constant growth stock

• A stock whose dividends are expected to grow
  forever at a constant rate, g.
• D1 D0 (1g)1
• D2 D0 (1g)2
• Dt D0 (1g)t
• If g is constant, the dividend growth formula
  converges to

7
What happens if g gt rs?

• If g gt rs, the constant growth formula leads to a
  negative stock price, which does not make sense.
• The constant growth model can only be used if
• rs gt g
• g is expected to be constant forever

8
If rRF 7, rM 12, and ? 1.2, what is the
required rate of return on the firms stock?

• Use the SML to calculate the required rate of
  return (rs)
• rs rRF (rM rRF)?
• 7 (12 - 7)1.2
• 13

9
If D0 2 and g is a constant 6, find the
expected dividend stream for the next 3 years,
and their PVs.
10
What is the stocks intrinsic value?

• Using the constant growth model

11
What is the expected market price of the stock,
one year from now?

• D1 will have been paid out already. So, P1 is
  the present value (as of year 1) of D2, D3, D4,
  etc.
• Could also find expected P1 as

12
What are the expected dividend yield, capital
gains yield, and total return during the first
year?

• Dividend yield
• D1 / P0 2.12 / 30.29 7.0
• Capital gains yield
• (P1 P0) / P0
• (32.10 - 30.29) / 30.29 6.0
• Total return (rs)
• Dividend Yield Capital Gains Yield
• 7.0 6.0 13.0

13
What would the expected price today be if g 0?

• The dividend stream would be a perpetuity.

14
If the stock was expected to have negative growth
(g -6), would anyone buy the stock, and what
is its value?

• The firm still has earnings and pays dividends.
  Even though they may be declining, they still
  have value.

15
Supernormal growthWhat if g 30 for 3 years
before achieving long-run growth of 6?

• Can no longer use just the constant growth model
  to find stock value.
• However, the growth does become constant after 3
  years.

18
Corporate value model

• Also called the free cash flow method. Suggests
  the value of the entire firm equals the present
  value of the firms free cash flows.
• Remember, free cash flow is the firms after-tax
  operating income less the net capital investment
• FCF NOPAT Net capital investment

19
Applying the corporate value model

• Find the market value (MV) of the firm, by
  finding the PV of the firms future FCFs.
• Subtract MV of firms debt and preferred stock to
  get MV of common stock.
• Divide MV of common stock by the number of shares
  outstanding to get intrinsic stock price (value).

20
Issues regarding the corporate value model

• Often preferred to the dividend growth model,
  especially when considering number of firms that
  dont pay dividends or when dividends are hard to
  forecast.
• Similar to dividend growth model, assumes at some
  point free cash flow will grow at a constant
  rate.
• Terminal value (TVN) represents value of firm at
  the point that growth becomes constant.

21
Given the long-run gFCF 6, and WACC of 10,
use the corporate value model to find the firms
intrinsic value.

22
If the firm has 40 million in debt and has 10
million shares of stock, what is the firms
intrinsic value per share?

• MV of equity MV of firm MV of debt
• 416.94 - 40
• 376.94 million
• Value per share MV of equity / of shares
• 376.94 / 10
• 37.69

23
Firm multiples method

• Analysts often use the following multiples to
  value stocks.
• P / E
• P / CF
• P / Sales
• EXAMPLE Based on comparable firms, estimate the
  appropriate P/E. Multiply this by expected
  earnings to back out an estimate of the stock
  price.

24
What is market equilibrium?

• In equilibrium, stock prices are stable and there
  is no general tendency for people to buy versus
  to sell.
• In equilibrium, two conditions hold
• The current market stock price equals its
  intrinsic value (P0 P0).
• Expected returns must equal required returns.

25
How is market equilibrium established?

• If price is below intrinsic value
• The current price (P0) is too low and offers a
  bargain.
• Buy orders will be greater than sell orders.
• P0 will be bid up until expected return equals
  required return.

26
Preferred stock

• Hybrid security
• Like bonds, preferred stockholders receive a
  fixed dividend that must be paid before dividends
  are paid to common stockholders.
• However, companies can omit preferred dividend
  payments without fear of pushing the firm into
  bankruptcy.

27
If preferred stock with an annual dividend of 5
sells for 50, what is the preferred stocks
expected return?

• Vp D / rp
• 50 5 / rp
• rp 5 / 50
• 0.10 10
