    Business Valuation

    The value of a company is equal to thevalue of its financial claims:

    VA= VD+ VE

    Valuation Example

    A company which owns an existing oil well

    was purchased for $50M.

    The investment was financed by the acquiring

    company

    raising $25M in equity

    borrowing $25M at 8% interest

    Case: We want to determine the current value

    of the acquiring company.

    the bond has a maturity of 10 years and is trading at an 8% YTM:

    Forecasting the Market, Industry, and

    Stock using the Multiplier Approach

    Many analysts use the top-down, three-stepapproach in which they try to forecast the

    future values and returns of a market series,

    industries, and companies in industries. The multiplier approach can be used in such

    forecast.

    Stock Market Analysis and Forecast The objective of aggregate stock market

    analysis is to forecast the future marketvalue and rate of return of a major market

    series such as the S&P 400 or S&P 500.

    The forecast can be made using thefollowing multiplier model:

    V P

    Industry Analysis Industry analysis is the next step in the top-down, three-step approach to

    fundamental stock analysis.

    In evaluating industries, it is important to note that if there is little difference

    in the performances among different industries, then there is no need to study

    industries. If the aggregate stock market, for example, is expected to generate

    a 12% rate of return, while the return amongst all industries only ranges

    between 11% and 13%, then there would not be much purpose in conducting

    an industry analysis: one could get a 12% expected return by just randomlyselecting industries. Studies of industrial performance, though, do show a

    wide dispersion in the rates of return among industries. In 1995, for example,

    the S&P 500 increased 37.6%, with the performances among industries

    ranging from -15% (trucking industry) to 80% (biotech). This suggest

    industry analysis is important and explains why many investment companies

    maintain a staff of industry analysts. Ultimately, we want to be able to find the right stocks for investment. It is

    easier, though, to find a good company and stock from a good industry, than to

    find a good company and stock from a bad or declining industry.

    Stages of Industrial Development

    From an investment perspective, the identification of good

    industries comes from finding those sectors whoseexpected returns exceed their require returns. As a starting

    point, it is helpful to understand the nature of the industryin terms of its current stage of development.

    Industrial organizational theory describes industries interms of the five stages of development that define thetypical industry's life cycle. These stages include: Pioneering,

    Rapid Accelerating Growth,

    Mature Growth, Stabilization,

    Deceleration and Decline.

  • 8/11/2019 k Formation

    34/63

    Pioneering

    Pioneering Stage:This is the start-up stage of theindustry.

    It is the stage in which firms in the industry are

    just beginning to identify their markets.

    The stage is characterized by high developmentcosts, small or modest sales, and small or negative

    profit margins.

    Examples of the pioneering stage would be thecar industry at the beginning of the century or the

    computer industry in the 1950s.

  • 8/11/2019 k Formation

    35/63

    Rapid Accelerating Growth

    Rapid Accelerating Growth Stage: In this stage, the

    market for the industry starts to develop. From a low salesbase, sales begin to increase at an increasing rate, oftenresulting in excess demand for the industry's product.

    During this phase, firms in the industry respond to their

    growing market by developing their production capacity. The Rapid Accelerating Growth Stage is characterized by

    high profit margins, with profit increasing significant (asmuch as 100% in some years) from a low sales base.

    The car industry in the 1950s, the computer industry in the

    1970s, and the internet and biotech industries of the 1990swould be example of this second stage of industrydevelopment.

  • 8/11/2019 k Formation

    36/63

    Mature Growth Stage

    Mature Growth Stage:This is a stage in which sales continue toincrease, but not at an accelerating rate.

    From a relatively high sales base, sales growth tends to be above the

    growth rate of the economy, but below the rates experienced in the

    previous stage. For example, if the economy were growing at 5%, the

    industry might be growing between 7% and 10% during this stage.

    The Mature Growth Stage is the period when the industry's profit

    attracts other firms into the industry. The increased competition

    resulting from the entry of new firms often causes prices to decrease in

    the industry during this time, lowering profit margins.

    The greater competition also may lead to increases in advertising

    expenditures and other costs related to differentiating a firm's product

    or to constraining entry of new firms into the industry.

    Stabilization

    Stabilization Stage: This is a stage where theindustry reaches an equilibrium in which the

    number of firms in the industry is set, demand is

    stable, and production capacity is at a level to

    meet demand. In this stage, the industry growth rate matches the

    economy's and profit margins are tight but stable.

    For many industries, the stabilization stage is the

    longest period in their life cycle.

    Decleration and Declining Growth

    Decleration and Declining Growth Stage:In this stage, the

    industry's sales growth may increase at a decreasing rate or

    decline.

    It is a period in which there is a switch in demand brought

    about by better substitutes

    Examples:

    Home computers and word processing software for typewriters

    Cars for horses

    Note

    Remember: Finding a good company in a good industry does

    not necessarily mean that the stock of that

    company is a good investment. For example, a

    good company in a growing industry may be

    experiencing high sales and profit margins, but it

    could also be selling at a price that yields a return

    below its required return; that is, the good

    company's stock could be overpriced.

    Company Analysis and Forecast

    Like the market and industry series, the value

    and rate of return for a company can beestimated using the multiplier approach.

    In analyzing a company, the parameters can be

    estimated using a microeconomic analysis or by

    comparing the companys performance with the

    industry and market.

    An example of forecasting the return for the

    Walgreen company is presented in Section 12.4.Data for the analysis is in Stockch12.xls.
