Facts about Common Stock
Represents ownership.
 Ownership implies control.
 Stockholders elect directors.
 Directors elect management.
 Management’s goal: Maximize
stock price.

Social/Ethical Question
Should management be equally
concerned about employees,
customers, suppliers, “the public,”
or just the stockholders?
In enterprise economy, work for
stockholders subject to constraints
(environmental, fair hiring, etc.) and
competition.

What’s classified stock? How
might classified stock be used?
Classified stock has special provisions.
 Could classify existing stock as
founders’ shares, with voting rights but
dividend restrictions.
 New shares might be called “Class A”
shares, with voting restrictions but full
dividend rights.

When is a stock sale an initial
public offering (IPO)?
A firm “goes public” through
an IPO when the stock is first
offered to the public.

What is a constant growth stock?
One whose dividends are expected to
grow forever at a constant rate, g.

For a Constant Growth Stock
D1 = D0(1 + g)1
D2 = D0(1 + g)2
Dt = Dt(1 + g)t

If ks< g, get negative stock price,
which is nonsense.
 We can’t use model unless (1) ks> g
and (2) g is expected to be constant
forever.

Assume beta = 1.2, kRF = 7%, and
kM = 12%. What is the required rate
of return on the firm’s stock?
Use the SML to calculate ks:
ks= kRF + (kM – kRF)bFirm
= 7% + (12% – 7%) (1.2)
= 13%.

If we have supernormal growth of 30% for
3 years, then a long-run constant
g = 6%,

what is P0? k is still 13%.
Can no longer use constant growth
model.

What is the expected dividend yield
and capital gains yield at t = 0?
At t = 4?
$2.60
Div. yield0 =

$54.11
Cap. gain0 = 13.00% – 4.81% = 8.19%.
7/7/2015
22
During nonconstant growth, D/P and
capital gains yield are not constant,
and capital gains yield is less than g.
 After t = 3, g = constant = 6% =
capital gains yield; k = 13%; so D/P =
13% – 6% = 7%.

P0 $25.72
CGY = 13% – 7.78% = 5.22%.
t = 3: Now have constant growth
with g = capital gains yield = 6% and
D/P = 7%.

If g = -6%, would anyone buy the
stock? If so, at what price?
Firm still has earnings and still pays
dividends, so P0 > 0:

What is the annual D/P and capital
gains yield?
Capital gains yield = g = -6.0%,
Dividend yield= 13.0% – (-6.0%) = 19%.
D/P and cap. gains yield are constant,
with high dividend yield (19%) offsetting
negative capital gains yield.

Free Cash Flow Method
The free cash flow method suggests
that the value of the entire firm
equals the present value of the firm’s
free cash flows (calculated on an
after-tax basis).
 Recall that the free cash flow in any
given year can be calculated as:
NOPAT – Net capital investment.

7/7/2015
28
Using the Free Cash Flow Method

Once the value of the firm is estimated,
an estimate of the stock price can be
found as follows:
– MV of common stock (market
capitalization) = MV of firm – MV of debt
and preferred stock.
^ = MV of common stock/# of shares.

Issues Regarding the Free Cash Flow
Method

Free cash flow method is often
preferred to the dividend growth
model--particularly for the large
number of companies that don’t pay
a dividend, or for whom it is hard to
forecast dividends.
(More...)

FCF Method Issues Continued
Similar to the dividend growth model,
the free cash flow method generally
assumes that at some point in time,
the growth rate in free cash flow will
become constant.
 Terminal value represents the value
of the firm at the point in which
growth becomes constant.

7/7/2015

FCF estimates for the next 3 years are
-$5, $10, and $20 million, after which
the FCF is expected to grow at 6%. The
overall firm cost of capital is 10%.

*TV3 represents the terminal value of
the firm, at t = 3.

If the firm has $40 million in debt
and has 10 million shares of stock,
what is the price per share?
Value of equity = Total value – Value of debt
= $416.94 – $40
= $376.94 million.
Price per share = Value of equity/# of shares
= $376.94/10
= $37.69.

33
Using the Multiples of Comparable
Firms to Estimate Stock Price

Analysts often use the following multiples
to value stocks:
–
–
–
–

P/E (Most commonly used)
P/CF
P/Sales
P/Customer
Example: Based on comparable firms,
estimate the appropriate P/E. Multiply this
by expected earnings to back out an
estimate of the stock price.

34
What is market equilibrium?
In equilibrium, stock prices are stable.
There is no general tendency for
people to buy versus to sell.
In equilibrium, expected returns must
equal required returns:
^
ks = D1/P0 + g = ks = kRF + (kM – kRF)b.
7/7/2015
35
Expected returns are obtained by
estimating dividends and expected
capital gains (which can be found
using any of the three common stock
valuation approaches).
Required returns are obtained from
the CAPM.
^
ks = D1/P0 + g = ks = kRF + (kM – kRF)b.
7/7/2015
36
How is equilibrium established?
D1
If ks =
+ g > ks, then
P0
^
P0 is “too low” (a bargain).
Buy orders > sell orders;
P0 bid up; D1/P0 falls until
D1/P0 + g = ^
ks = ks.
7/7/2015
37
Why do stock prices change?
D1
P0 =
ki – g
^
1. ki could change:
ki = kRF + (kM – kRF )bi.
kRF = k* + IP.
2. g could change due to
economic or firm situation.

38
What’s the Efficient Market
Hypothesis?
EMH: Securities are normally in
equilibrium and are “fairly priced.”
One cannot “beat the market”
except through good luck or better
information.
7/7/2015
39
1. Weak-form EMH:
Can’t profit by looking at past
trends. A recent decline is no
reason to think stocks will go up
(or down) in the future.
Evidence supports weak-form
EMH, but “technical analysis” is
still used.
7/7/2015
40
2. Semistrong-form EMH:
All publicly available
information is reflected in
stock prices, so doesn’t pay to
pore over annual reports
looking for undervalued
stocks. Largely true, but
superior analysts can still
profit by finding and using new
information.
7/7/2015
41
3. Strong-form EMH:
All information, even inside
information, is embedded in
stock prices. Not true--insiders
can gain by trading on the basis
of insider information, but that’s
illegal.
7/7/2015
42
Markets are generally efficient
because:
1. 15,000 or so trained analysts; MBAs,
CFAs, Technical PhDs.
2. Work for firms like Merrill, Morgan,
Prudential, which have a lot of money.
3. Have similar access to data.
4. Thus, news is reflected in P0 almost
instantaneously.

Preferred Stock
Hybrid security.
 Similar to bonds in that preferred
stockholders receive a fixed dividend
that must be paid before dividends can
be paid on common stock.
 However, unlike interest payments on
bonds, companies can omit dividend
payments on preferred stock without
fear of pushing the firm into bankruptcy.
