FINVIZ.com
http://finviz.com/screener.ashx
We
  will focus on the following several ratios:
P/E (price per share/earning per share, P/E < 15, a
  bargain)
PEG (PE ratio / growth rate. PEG<1, undervalued
  stock)
EPS (earning per share)
ROA (Return on Asset = NI/TA, ROA>10% should be a
  nice benchmark)
ROE (return on equity = NI/TE, ROE>15% should be
  good)
Current
  ratio (liquidity measure. = CA/CL,
  has to be greater than one)
Quick
  ratio (liquidity measure. =
  (CA-Inventory)/CL, has to be greater than one)
Debt
  Ratio (Leverage measure. = TD/TA,
  need to be optimal, usually between 30% and 40%)
Gross
  margin (profit measure. =
  EBITDA/sales, or = Gross margin/sales, has to be positive)
Operating
  margin (profit measure. = EBIT/sales, or
  = operating income/sales, has to be positive)
Net
  profit margin (profit measure. = NI/sales,
  has to be positive)
Payout
  ratio (= dividend / NI, measures
  distribution to shareholders. No preferences. Usually value stocks have high
  payout ratio; Growth stocks have low payout ratio).

Please refer to template
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
  describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected
  return for assets, particularly stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout
  finance for pricing risky securities and generating expected
  returns for assets given the risk of those assets and cost of capital.
 Ri = Rf + βi *
  (Rm - Rf) ------ CAPM model
Ri = Expected return

For discussion:
·         What is this “long term debt”?
·         Who is the lender of this “long term debt”?
So this long term debt is called bond in the financial
  market. Where can you find the pricing information and other specifications
  of the bond issued by WMT?

Chapter 7 Study guide   
1.      Go to http://finra-markets.morningstar.com/BondCenter/Default.jsp  , the bond market data website of FINRA to find bond
  information. For example, find bond sponsored by Wal-mart
Or, just go to www.finra.org, è Investor center è market data è bond è corporate bond
 
Corporate
  Bond

 
4.    
  Understand
  what is coupon, coupon rate, yield, yield to maturity, market price, par
  value, maturity, annual bond, semi-annual bond, current yield.
Refer to the following bond at http://finra-markets.morningstar.com/BondCenter/BondDetail.jsp?ticker=C104227&symbol=WMT.GP


3.      3. Understand how to
  price bond
Bond price = abs(pv(yield, maturity, coupon, 1000))  ------- annual coupon
Bond price = abs(pv(yield/2, maturity*2, coupon/2, 1000))
  ------- semi-annual coupon
 
Also change the yield and observe the price changes.
  Summarize the price change pattern and draw a graph to demonstrate your
  findings.
 
Again, when yield to maturity of this semi_annual coupon
  bond is 3%, how should this WMT bond sell for?
 
4.      Understand how to
  calculate bond returns
Yield to maturity = rate(maturity,
  coupon,  -market price, 1000) – annual coupon
Yield to maturity = rate(maturity*2,
  coupon/2,  -market price, 1000)*2 – semi-annual coupon
 
For example, when the annual coupon bond is selling for
  $1,200, what is its return to investors?
 
For example, when the semi-annual coupon bond
  is selling for $1,200, what is its return to investors?
 
5.      Current yield: For
  the above bond, calculate current yield.
6.      Zero coupon bond:
  coupon=0 and treat it as semi-annual coupon bond.
Example:
  A ten year zero coupon bond is selling for $400. How much is its yield to
  maturity?
A ten year zero coupon bond’s yield to maturity is 10%.
  How much is its price?
 
7.      Understand
  what is bond rating and how to read those ratings. (based on z
  score. What is z score?)
a.       Who are Moody,
  S&P and Fitch?
b.      What is IBM’s
  rating?
c.       Is the rating
  for IBM the highest?
d.      Who earned the
  highest rating?
8.
  Understand the cash flows from a bond as a bond investor
For
  example, a five year, annual coupon bond, with 5% coupon rate. Its cash flows
  are as follows.

  maturity, coupon rate*1000, 1000)
 
To calculate yield to maturity (annual coupon
  bond)::
Yield to maturity = rate(years left to
  maturity, coupon rate *1000, -price, 1000)
 
To calculate bond price (semi-annual
  coupon bond):
Price=abs(pv(yield to maturity/2, years
  left to maturity*2, coupon rate*1000/2, 1000)
 
To calculate yield to maturity (semi-annual
  coupon bond):
Yield to maturity = rate(years left to
  maturity*2, coupon rate *1000/2, -price, 1000)*2
 
To calculate number of years left(annual
  coupon bond)
Number of years =nper(yield to maturity,  coupon
  rate*1000, -price, 1000)
 
To calculate number of years left(semi-annual
  coupon bond)
Number of years =nper(yield to
  maturity/2,  coupon rate*1000/2, -price, 1000)/2
 
To calculate coupon (annual coupon bond)
Coupon = pmt(yield to maturity, number of
  years left, -price, 1000)
Coupon rate = coupon / 1000
 
To calculate coupon (semi-annual coupon bond)
Coupon = pmt(yield to maturity/2, number of
  years left*2, -price, 1000)*2
Coupon rate = coupon / 1000

Details about how to derive the model mathematically (FYI)
The Gordon growth model is a simple discounted cash flow (DCF)
  model which can be used to value a stock, mutual fund, or even the entire
  stock market.  The model is named after Myron Gordon who first published
  the model in 1959.
The Gordon model assumes that a
  financial security pays a periodic dividend (D) which
  grows at a constant rate (g). These growing dividend payments are
  assumed to continue forever. The future dividend payments are discounted at
  the required rate of return (r) to find the price (P) for the stock
  or fund.
Under these simple assumptions, the
  price of the security is given by this equation:

In this equation, I’ve used
  the “0” subscript on the price (P) and the “1” subscript
  on the dividend (D) to indicate that the price is calculated at time zero and
  the dividend is the expected dividend at the end of period one. However, the
  equation is commonly written with these subscripts omitted.
Obviously, the assumptions built
  into this model are overly simplistic for many real-world valuation
  problems. Many companies pay no dividends, and, for those that do,
  we may expect changing payout ratios or growth rates as the business
  matures.
Despite these
  limitations, I believe spending some time experimenting with the Gordon
  model can help develop intuition about the relationship between
  valuation and return.
The Gordon growth model calculates the
  present value of the security by summing an infinite series of discounted
  dividend payments which follows the pattern shown here:

Multiplying both sides of the previous
  equation by (1+g)/(1+r) gives:

We can then subtract the second equation
  from the first equation to get:

Rearranging and simplifying:


Finally, we can simplify further to get
  the Gordon growth model equation

Chapter 9 WACC
in class Walmart Example (excel)
For class discussion:
·      What
  is WACC? Let’s compare WACC among WMT, Apple, Amazon, Testla. 
·      
  Why is WACC important?
·      
  If WACC decreases, is it a good or a bad news
  to the stock holders?
·      
  How to apply WACC to figure out a firm’s
  intrinsic value?
·      
  What is DCF (discounted cash flow) approach?
 

 
 
One option (if beta is given, refer to chapter
  13)

 
Another option (if dividend is given):
 

 
WACC Formula
 

 
Discount rate to figure out the value of projects is called WACC
  (weighted average cost of capital)
WACC =
  weight of debt * after tax cost of debt   + weight of equity
  *( cost of equity)
Wd=
  total debt / Total capital  = total borrowed / total capital
We=
  total equity/ Total capital
 
Cost of
  debt = rate(nper, coupon, -(price – flotation costs), 1000)*(1-tax rate)
Cost of
  Equity = D1/(Po – Flotation Cost)  + g   
D1: Next period dividend; Po: Current stock price; g: dividend
  growth rate
Note:
  flotation costs = flotation percentage * price
 
Or if
  beta is given, use CAPM model (refer to chapter 6)
Cost
  of equity = risk free rate + beta *(market return – risk free rate)
Cost
  of equity = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium
 
 
Discussion:
·         Cheaper
  to raise capital from debt market. Why? Why not 100% financing via borrowing?
·         Why
  tax rate cannot reduce firms’ cost of equity?
 
In Class Exercise
IBM financed 10m via debt coupon 5%, 10 year,
  price is $950 and flotation is 7% of the price, tax 40%.
IBM financed 20m via equity. D1=$5. Po=50, g
  is 5%. Flotation cost =0. So WACC?
Wd=1/3. We=2/3.
Kd = rate(10, 5%*1000, -(950-950*7%),
  1000)*(1-40%) = 3.98%
Ke = 5/(50 – 0) + 5% =15%
WACC = Wd*Kd +We*Ke = 11 %
 
 
HOMEWORK
  of Chapter 9 (due with the third mid term) 
Part 1. Firm AAA sold a noncallable bond now
  has 20 years to maturity.  9.25% annual coupon rate, paid
  semiannually, sells at a price = $1,075, par = $1,000.  Tax rate =
  40%, calculate after tax cost of debt (5.08%)
Part 2.   Firm AAA’s equity
  condition is as follows. D1 = $1.25; P0 =
  $27.50; g = 5.00%; and Flotation = 6.00% of price.  Calculate cost
  of equity (9.84%)
Part 3. Firm AAA raised 10m from the capital
  market. In it, 3m is from the debt market and the rest from the equity
  market. Calculate WACC.

 Here’s what
  each symbol means: 
 
 NPV
  Excel syntax Syntax   NPV(rate,value1,value2,
  ...)   Rate    
  is the rate of discount over the length of one period.   Value1, value2, ...    
  are 1 to 29 arguments representing the payments and income. ·         Value1, value2,
  ... must be equally spaced in time and occur at the end of
  each    period. NPV uses the order of
  value1, value2, ... to interpret the order of cash flows. Be sure
  to enter your payment and income values in the correct sequence.       IRR Excel syntax Syntax    IRR(values,
  guess)    Values  is an
  array or a reference to cells that contain numbers for which you want to
  calculate the internal rate of return.   Guess

  handbook, even the simple things seem to be getting more complicated. Companies have been
  complicating things for themselves, too—analyzing hundreds of factors when
  making decisions, or consulting reams of data to resolve every budget
  dilemma. But those requirements might be wasting time and muddling priorities. So argues Donald Sull, a lecturer at the Sloan School
  of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has also
  worked for McKinsey & Co. and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC. In the book Simple
  Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World, out this week from Houghton
  Mifflin Harcourt HMHC -1.36%,
  he and Kathleen Eisenhardt of Stanford University claim that
  straightforward guidelines lead to better results than complex formulas. Mr. Sull recently spoke with At Work about
  what companies can do to simplify, and why five basic rules can beat a
  50-item checklist. Edited excerpts: WSJ: Where, in the
  business context, might “simple
  rules” help more than a
  complicated approach? Donald Sull: Well, a common
  decision that people face in organizations is capital allocation. In many
  organizations, there will be thick procedure books or algorithms–one company I
  worked with had an algorithm that had almost 100 variables for every project.
  These are very cumbersome approaches to making decisions and can waste time.
  Basically, any decision about how to focus resources—either people or money
  or attention—can benefit from simple rules. WSJ: Can you give an
  example of how that simplification works in a company? Sull: There’s a German
  company called Weima GmBH that makes shredders. At one point,
  they were getting about 10,000 requests and could only fill about a thousand
  because of technical capabilities, so they had this massive problem of
  sorting out which of these proposals to pursue. They had a very
  detailed checklist with 40 or 50 items. People had to gather data and if
  there were gray areas the proposal would go to management. But because the
  data was hard to obtain and there were so many different pieces, people didn’t always fill out the
  checklists completely. Then management had to discuss a lot of these
  proposals personally because there was incomplete data. So top management is
  spending a disproportionate amount of time discussing this low-level stuff. Then Weima came up with guidelines that the
  frontline sales force and engineers could use to quickly decide whether a
  request fell in the “yes,” “no” or “maybe” category. They did it with five
  rules only, stuff like “Weima had to collect at least 70% of the
  price before the unit leaves the factory.” Or, take Frontier
  Dental Laboratories in Canada. They were working with a sales force of two
  covering the entire North American market. Limiting their sales guidelines to
  a few factors that made someone likely to be receptive to Frontier—stuff like “dentists who have their own
  practice” and “dentists with a website”—helped
  focus their efforts and increase sales 42% in a declining market. WSJ: Weima used five factors—is that the optimal
  number? And how do you choose which rules to follow? Sull: You should have
  four to six rules. Any more than that, you’ll spend too much time trying to follow
  everything perfectly. The entire reason simple rules help is because they
  force you to prioritize the goals that matter. They’re easy to remember, they
  don’t confuse or stress you, they save time. They should be
  tailored to your specific goals, so you choose the rules based on what
  exactly you’re trying to achieve. And you should of course talk to others.
  Get information from different sources, and ask them for the top things that
  worked for them. But focus on whether what will work for you and your
  circumstances. WSJ: Is there a
  business leader you can point to who has embraced the “simple rules” guideline? Donald Sull: Let’s look at
  when Alex Behring took over America
  Latina Logistica SARUMO3.BR +1.59%,
  the Brazilian railway and logistics company. With a budget of $15 million,
  how do you choose among $200 million of investment requests, all of which are
  valid? The textbook
  business-school answer to this is that you run the NPV (net present value)
  test on each project and rank-order them by NPV. Alex Behring knows this. He
  was at the top of the class at Harvard Business School. But instead Similarly, the
  global-health arm of the Gates Foundation gets many, many funding requests.
  But since they know that their goal is to have the most impact worldwide,
  they focus on projects in developing countries because that’s where the money
  will stretch farther. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
