The Aim of the Course

To develop and apply technologies for valuing firms and forstrategic planning to generate value within the firm.

Features of the approach:• A disciplined approach to valuation: minimizes ad hockery• Builds from first principles• Marries fundamental analysis and financial statement analysis• Focuses on technologies that can be used in practice:

How can the analyst gain an edge?

• Adopts activist point of view to investing: The market may be inefficient, so how does one challenge the market

price?

• Marries accounting and finance• Exploits accounting as a system for measuring value added• Exposes good (and bad) accounting from a valuation perspective

1-1-33

• The role of financial statements in determining firms’ values

• How to pull apart the financial statements to get at the relevant information

Users of Firms’ Financial Information (Demand Side)

• Equity InvestorsInvestment analysisManagement performance evaluation

• Debt InvestorsProbability of defaultDetermination of lending ratesCovenant violations

• ManagementStrategic planningInvestment in operationsEvaluation of subordinates

Investors and management are the primary users of financial statements

1-1-55

Investment Styles

• Intuitive Investing

-Rely on intuition and hunches: no analysis

• Passive Investing

-Accept market price as value: no analysis

-This is the “efficient market” approach

• Fundamental Investing: Challenge market prices

-Active investing

-Defensive investing

*A Motto for the Course*

Price is what you pay, value is what you get

1-1-66

Costs of Each Approach

• Danger in intuitive approach:

-Self deception; ignores ability to check intuition

• Danger in passive approach:

-Price is what you pay, value is what you get:

-The risk in investing is the risk of paying too much

• Fundamental analysis:

-Requires work !

• Prudence requires analysis: a defense against paying the wrong price (or selling at the wrong price)

-The Defensive Investor

• Activism requires analysis: an opportunity to find mispriced investments

-The Active Investor

1-1-77

Alphas and Betas

• Beta Technologies: Calculates risk measures: Betas Calculates the normal return for risk Ignores any arbitrage opportunities

Example: Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

• Alpha Technologies: Tries to gain abnormal returns by exploiting arbitrage opportunities from mispricing

Passive investment needs a beta technology (except for index investing)

Active investing needs a beta and an alpha technology

1-1-88

Passive Strategies: Beta Technologies

• Risk aversion makes investors price risky equity at a risk premium.Required return = Risk-free return + Premium for risk

• What is a normal return for risk? A technology for pricing risk (asset pricing model) is needed

Premium for risk = Risk premium on risk factors × sensitivity to risk factors

• Among such technologies:The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

-One single risk factor: Excess market return on rF Normal return ( - 1) = rF + (rM - rF)

-Only “beta” risk generates a premium

Multifactor pricing models

-Identify risk factors and sensitivities: Normal return ( - 1) = rF + 1 (r1 - rF) + 2 ( r2 - rF) + ... + k (rk - rF) (ri = Return to Risk Factor i, i = sensitivity to Risk Factor i)

Fundamental Risk and Price Risk

• Fundamental risk is the risk that results from business operations

• Price risk is the risk of trading at the wrong pricePaying too much

Selling for too little

1-1-1111

Questions Fundamental Investors Ask

• Dell traded at 87.9 times earnings in 2000. Historically, P/E ratios have averaged about 14. Is Dell’s P/E ratio too high? Would one expect its price to drop?

• Dell traded at 9.3 times earnings in 2012 Is this too low?

• Ford Motor Co. traded at a P/E of 5.0 in 2000. Is this too low?

• Ford Motor Co. traded at 2.5 earnings in 2012. Is this too low?

• Google Inc. had a market capitalization of $201 billion in 2012. What future sales and profits would support this valuation?

• Coca-Cola had a price-to-book ratio of 4.9 in 2012. Why is its market value so much more than its book value?

• Google went public in 2004 and received a very high valuation in its IPO. How would analysts translate its business plans and strategies into a valuation? Was the IPO price appropriate, or was the market over-excited?

1-1-1212

Investing in a Business

Business investment and the firm: Value is surrendered by investors to the firm. The firm adds or loses value, and value is returned to investors. Financial statements inform about the investments. Investors trade in capital markets on the basis of information on financial statements.

The capital market:Trading value

• One does not buy a stock, one buys a business.

• When buying a business, know the business.

• Value depends on the business model, the strategy.

• Good firms can be bad buys.

• Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

• Part of the risk in investing is the risk of paying too much for a stock.

• Ignore information at your peril.

• Don’t mix what you know with speculation.

• Anchor a valuation on what you know rather than speculation.

• Beware of paying too much for growth.

• When calculating value to challenge price, beware of using price in the calculation.

• Stick to your beliefs and be patient; prices gravitate to fundamentals, but that can take some time.

1-1-2929

Classifying and Ordering Information

Don’t Mix What You Know With Speculation

• Order information in terms of how concrete it is: Separate concrete information from speculative information.

• Anchor a valuation on what you know rather than speculation.

• Financial statements provide an anchor.

1-1-3030

Anchoring Valuation in the Financial Statements

Value = Anchor + Extra Value

Value = Book value + Extra value

Value = Earnings + Extra Value
