Below are Benjamin Graham’s seven time-tested
criteria to identify strong value stocks.
https://cabotwealth.com/daily/value-investing/benjamin-grahams-value-stock-criteria/
Value Stock Criteria List:
VALUE CRITERIA #1:
Look for a
quality rating that is average or better. You don’t need to
find the best quality companies–average or better is
fine. Benjamin Graham recommended using Standard & Poor’s
rating system and required companies to have an S&P Earnings and Dividend
Rating of B or better. The S&P rating system ranges from D to A+. Stick
to stocks with ratings of B+ or better, just to be on the safe side. VALUE CRITERIA #2:
Graham
advised buying companies with Total Debt to Current Asset ratios of less than
1.10. In value investing it is important at all times to invest in companies
with a low debt load. Total Debt to Current Asset ratios can be found in data
supplied by Standard & Poor’s, Value Line, and
many other services. VALUE CRITERIA #3:
Check the
Current Ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) to find
companies with ratios over 1.50. This is a common ratio provided by many
investment services. VALUE CRITERIA #4:
Criteria
four is simple: Find companies with positive earnings per share growth during
the past five years with no earnings deficits. Earnings need to be higher in
the most recent year than five years ago. Avoiding companies with earnings
deficits during the past five years will help you stay clear of high-risk
companies. VALUE CRITERIA
#5:
Invest in companies with
price to earnings per share (P/E) ratios of 9.0 or less. Look for
companies that are selling at bargain prices. Finding companies with low P/Es
usually eliminates high growth companies, which should be evaluated
using growth investing techniques. VALUE CRITERIA #6:Find
companies with price to book value (P/BV) ratios less than 1.20. P/E ratios,
mentioned in rule 5, can sometimes be misleading. P/BV ratios are calculated
by dividing the current price by the most recent book value per share for a
company. Book value provides a good indication of the underlying value of a
company. Investing in stocks selling near or below their book value makes sense. VALUE CRITERIA #7:Invest in
companies that are currently paying dividends. Investing in undervalued
companies requires waiting for other investors to discover the bargains you
have already found. Sometimes your wait period will be long and tedious, but
if the company pays a decent dividend, you can sit back and collect dividends
while you wait patiently for your stock to go from undervalued to overvalued. One last
thought. We like to find out why a stock is selling at a bargain price.
Is the company competing in an industry that is dying? Is the company
suffering from a setback caused by an unforeseen problem? The most important
question, though, is whether the company’s problem
is short-term or long-term and whether management is aware of the problem and
taking action to correct it. You can put your business acumen to work to
determine if management has an adequate plan to solve the company’s current problems. For class discussion: Times have changed. Mr.
Granham’s book about value investing
was published sixty years ago. Do you think the criteria in his book are
still working in today’s
environment? |

The FOMC meets eight times a year to determine the near-term direction of monetary policy and interest rates.” Who Determines Interest Rates?
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/who-determines-interest-rates/
By NICK K. LIOUDIS Updated Aug 15, 2019 Interest rates are the cost
of borrowing money. They
represent what creditors earn for lending you money. These rates are constantly
changing, and differ based on the lender, as well as your creditworthiness.
Interest rates not only keep the economy functioning, but they also keep
people borrowing, spending, and lending. But most of us don't really stop to
think about how they are implemented or who determines them. This article
summarizes the three main forces that control and determine interest rates. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Short-Term Interest Rates: Central BanksIn countries using a
centralized banking model, short-term interest rates are determined by
central banks. A government's economic observers create a policy that helps
ensure stable prices and liquidity. This
policy is routinely checked so the supply of money within the economy is
neither too large, which causes prices to increase, nor too small, which can
lead to a drop in prices. In the U.S., interest rates
are determined by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which consists of seven governors of the Federal
Reserve Board and five Federal Reserve Bank presidents. The FOMC meets eight
times a year to determine the near-term direction of monetary policy and
interest rates. The actions of central banks like the Fed affect short-term
and variable interest rates. If the monetary policymakers
wish to decrease the money supply, they will raise the interest rate, making
it more attractive to deposit funds and reduce borrowing from the central
bank. Conversely, if the central bank wishes to increase the money supply,
they will decrease the interest rate, which makes it more attractive to
borrow and spend money. The Fed funds rate affects
the prime rate—the rate banks charge their best customers,
many of whom have the highest credit rating possible. It's also the rate
banks charge each other for overnight loans. The U.S.
prime rate remained at 3.25% between Dec. 16, 2008 and Dec. 17, 2015, when it
was raised to 3.5%. Long-Term
Interest Rates: Demand for Treasury Notes
Many of these rates are
independent of the Fed funds rate, and, instead, follow 10- or 30-year
Treasury note yields. These yields depend on demand after the U.S. Treasury
Department auctions them off on the market. Lower demand tends to result in
high interest rates. But when there is a high demand for these notes, it can
push rates down lower. If you have a long-term
fixed-rate mortgage, car loan, student loan, or any similar non-revolving
consumer credit product, this is where it falls. Some credit card annual
percentage rates are also affected by these notes. These rates are generally
lower than most revolving credit products but are higher than the prime rate. Many savings account rates are also determined by long-term Treasury
notes. Other
Rates: Retail Banks
Retail banks are
also partly responsible for controlling interest rates. Loans and mortgages
they offer may have rates that change based on several factors including
their needs, the market, and the individual consumer. For example, someone with a
lower credit score may be at a higher risk of default, so they pay a higher interest
rate. The same applies to credit cards. Banks will offer different rates to
different customers, and will also increase the rate if there is a missed
payment, bounced payment, or for other services like balance transfers and
foreign exchange. Monday 1/15/2020 For

the yield curve (video)
Introduction to
the yield curve (khan academy)
Normal Yield Curve Steep Curve –
Economy is improving Inverted Curve – Recession
is coming
To become inverted, the yield curve
must pass through a period where long-term yields are the same as short-term
rates. When that happens the shape will appear to be flat or, more commonly,
a little raised in the middle. Unfortunately, not all flat or humped curves
turn into fully inverted curves. Otherwise we'd all get rich plunking our
savings down on 30-year bonds the second we saw their yields start falling
toward short-term levels. On the other hand, you shouldn't discount a
flat or humped curve just because it doesn't guarantee a coming recession.
The odds are still pretty good that economic slowdown and lower interest
rates will follow a period of flattening yields.

Interest Rates?
By JEAN FOLGERdated Dec 6, 2019Inflation and interest rates are often linked and frequently
referenced in macroeconomics. Inflation refers to
the rate at which prices for goods and services rise. In the United
States, the interest rate, or the amount charged by a
lender to a borrower, is based on the federal
funds rate that is determined by the Federal Reserve (sometimes
called "the Fed"). By setting the target for the federal funds rate, the Fed has
at its disposal a powerful tool that it uses to influence the rate of
inflation. This tool enables the Fed to expand or contract the money supply
as needed to achieve target employment rates, stable prices, and stable economic growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Inverse Correlation Between Interest
Rates and Inflation
Under a system of fractional reserve banking, interest
rates and inflation tend to be inversely correlated. This relationship
forms one of the central tenets of contemporary monetary policy: Central
banks manipulate short-term interest rates to affect the rate of inflation in
the economy. The below chart demonstrates the inverse correlation between
interest rates and inflation. In the chart, CPI refers to the Consumer Price Index, a measurement that
tracks changes in prices. Changes in the CPI are used to identify periods of
inflation and deflation. In general, as interest rates are reduced, more people are
able to borrow more money. The result is that consumers have more money to
spend, causing the economy to grow and inflation to increase. The opposite holds true for rising interest rates. As interest rates
are increased, consumers tend to save as returns from savings are higher.
With less disposable income being spent as
a result of the increase in the interest rate, the economy slows and
inflation decreases. To better understand how the relationship between inflation
and interest rates works, it's important to understand the banking system,
the quantity theory of
money, and the role interest rates play. Fractional Reserve Banking The world currently uses a fractional reserve banking system.
When someone deposits $100 into the bank, they maintain a claim on that
$100. The bank, however, can lend out those dollars based on the reserve ratio set by the
central bank. If the reserve ratio is 10%, the bank can lend out the other
90%, which is $90 in this case. A 10% fraction of the money stays in the bank
vaults. As long as the subsequent $90 loan is outstanding, there are
two claims totaling $190 in the economy. In other words, the supply of money
has increased from $100 to $190. This is a simple demonstration of how
banking grows the money supply. Quantity Theory of Money
In economics, the quantity theory of money states that
the supply and demand for money
determines inflation. If the money supply grows, prices tend to rise, because
each individual piece of paper becomes less valuable. Hyperinflation is an economic term used to describe extreme
inflation where price increases are rapid and uncontrolled. While central
banks generally target an annual inflation rate of around 2% to 3% as an
acceptable rate for a healthy economy, hyperinflation goes well beyond
this. Countries that
experience hyperinflation have an inflation rate of 50% or more per month. Interest Rates, Savings, Loans, and
Inflation
The interest rate acts as a price for holding or loaning
money. Banks pay an interest rate on savings in order to attract depositors.
Banks also receive an interest rate for money that is loaned from their
deposits. When interest rates are low, individuals and businesses tend
to demand more loans. Each bank loan increases the money supply in a
fractional reserve banking system. According to the quantity theory of
money, a growing money
supply increases inflation. Thus, low interest rates tend to result
in more inflation. High interest rates tend to lower inflation. This is a very simplified version of the relationship, but it
highlights why interest rates and inflation tend to be inversely correlated. The Federal Open Market Committee
The Federal Open Market
Committee (FOMC) meets eight times each year to review economic
and financial conditions and decide on monetary policy. Monetary policy
refers to the actions taken that affect the availability and cost of money
and credit. At these meetings, short-term interest rate targets are determined. Using economic indicators such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and
the Producer Price Indexes (PPI), the Fed
will establish interest rate targets intended to keep the economy in balance.
By moving interest rate targets up or down, the Fed attempts to achieve
target employment rates, stable prices, and stable economic growth. The Fed
will raise interest rates to reduce inflation and decrease rates to spur
economic growth. Investors and traders keep a close eye on the FOMC rate
decisions. After each of the eight FOMC meetings, an announcement is made
regarding the Fed's decision to increase, decrease, or maintain key interest
rates. Certain markets may move in advance of the anticipated interest rate
changes and in response to the actual announcements. For example, the U.S.
dollar typically rallies in response to an interest rate increase, while the bond market falls in
reaction to rate hikes. Fall in inflation raises prospects of interest rate
cut (BBC news)
·
15 January 2020 The UK's inflation rate fell
to its lowest for more than three years in December, increasing speculation that
interest rates could be cut. The rate dropped to 1.3% last month, down from 1.5% in November, partly
due to a fall in the price of women's clothes and hotel room costs. December's inflation rate was the
lowest since November 2016. Analysts said it raised the chances
of a rate cut, with inflation below the Bank of England's target of 2%. "Very soft UK inflation data
for December leaves the door wide open for a Bank of England rate cut on 30
January," said Melissa Davies, an economist at stock broker Redburn. The Bank's main interest rate is
used by banks and other lenders who set borrowing costs. It affects everything from mortgages
to business loans and has a big effect on the finances of individuals and
companies. City traders who
spend their working lives trying to anticipate moves in interest rates are
convinced of it today: the Bank of England is likely to cut the official interest
rate when it meets later this month. Market indicators suggest a 60% chance
of it happening. Here's the thinking:
at 1.3%, the official measure of consumer price inflation in the year to
December was lower than expected and well below the 2% target. With the
economy barely growing (even shrinking if you are prepared to rely on the official
November estimate of a 0.3% contraction) there's little sign of inflationary
pressure in the near future. Granted, there
was a sharp rise in the price of crude oil - a barrel was up 4.9% in the month
and 17.4% on the year. But in spite of that, producers were still paying
slightly less for their raw materials and supplies than they were last year. The assumption
has been that the November contraction was a temporary period of weakness induced
by pre-election political uncertainty - and that there will be a recovery as
businesses and consumers regain a new-found confidence to spend and invest. The risk the
MPC will have to contend with is that that hoped-for post-election recovery
does not materialise. Earlier on Wednesday,
Michael Saunders, one of the rate setters on the Bank's Monetary Policy
Committee (MPC), reiterated his view that borrowing costs should be lowered. "It probably
will be appropriate to maintain an expansionary monetary policy stance and
possibly to cut rates further, in order to reduce risks of a sustained
undershoot of the 2% inflation target," he said. Last week, two
other rate setters and Bank governor Mark Carney also suggested that rates could
be cut, depending on how the economy performs. On Sunday, MPC
member Gertjan Vlieghe told the Financial Times he would consider voting for a rate cut depending
on how the economy has performed since the December election. However, members
of the MPC could take the latest inflation figure with a pinch of salt, said
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "Half of the
decline in the headline rate was driven by a sharp fall in volatile airline
fares inflation," he said. He expects inflation
to rise to 1.6% in the first three months of 2020, and this could mean enough
MPC members will decide to wait rather than voting to cut rates. Emma-Lou Montgomery,
associate director for personal investing at money manager Fidelity International,
said the inflation data painted a bleaker picture for the UK economy than
before. "Today's UK
CPI figures simply add to the growing sense of unease many feel when considering
the outlook for the UK economy, with the rate of inflation continuing to lag
well below the Bank of England's target of 2%." A cut would ease
the finances of borrowers, but create a tougher environment for savers, she
added. |

Chapter 6 Interest rate Part II: Term Structure of Interest rate
Question for discussion: If
a% and b% are both known to investors, such as the bank rates, how much is
the future interest rate, such as c%? (1+a)^N
= (1+b)^m *(1+c)^(N-M) Either
earning a% of interest rate for N years, or
b% of interest rate for M years, and then c% of interest rate for (N-M)
years, investors
should be indifferent. Right? Then,
(1+a)^N = (1+b)^m *(1+c)^(N-M)è c = ((1+a)^N / (1+b)^m)^(1/(N-M))-1 Or
approximately, N*a
= M*b +(N-M)*(c)è c = (N*a – M*b) /(N-M) What Is Expectations Theory (video)
Expectations theory attempts to predict what
short-term interest rates will be in the future based on current
long-term interest rates. The theory suggests that an investor earns the same
amount of interest by investing in two consecutive one-year bond
investments versus investing in one two-year bond today. The theory is also
known as the "unbiased expectations theory.” Understanding Expectations TheoryThe expectations theory aims to help investors make decisions based upon a forecast of future interest rates. The theory uses long-term rates, typically from government bonds, to forecast the rate for short-term bonds. In theory, long-term rates can be used to indicate where rates of short-term bonds will trade in the future (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/expectationstheory.asp) |

Expectations Theory
By CHRIS B. MURPHY Updated Apr 21, 2019 Example of Calculating Expectations TheoryLet's say that the
present bond market provides investors with a two-year bond that
pays an interest rate of 20% while a one-year bond pays an interest rate of
18%. The expectations theory can be used to forecast the interest rate of a
future one-year bond.
In this example, the investor is earning an equivalent return
to the present interest rate of a two-year bond. If the investor chooses to
invest in a one-year bond at 18% the bond yield for the following year’s bond would need to increase to 22% for this investment
to be advantageous.
Expectations theory aims to help investors make decisions by
using long-term rates, typically from government bonds, to forecast the rate
for short-term bonds. Disadvantages of Expectations Theory
Investors should be aware that
the expectations theory is not always a reliable tool. A common problem with
using the expectations theory is that it sometimes overestimates future
short-term rates, making it easy for investors to end up with an inaccurate
prediction of a bond’s yield curve. Another limitation of the theory is that many factors impact short-term and long-term bond yields. The Federal Reserve adjusts interest rates up or down, which impacts bond yields including short-term bonds. However, long-term yields might not be as impacted because many other factors impact long-term yields including inflation and economic growth expectations. As a result, the expectations theory doesn't take into account the outside forces and fundamental macroeconomic factors that drive interest rates and ultimately bond yields. |

Bond Pricing Formula (FYI) Bond Pricing Excel Formula To calculate bond price in EXCEL (annual
coupon bond): Price=abs(pv(yield to maturity, years left to 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 Redemption Features (FYI)
While the maturity date
indicates how long a bond will be outstanding, many bonds are
structured in such a way so that an issuer or investor can substantially
change that maturity date. Call Provision
Bonds may have a
redemption – or call – provision that allows or requires
the issuer to redeem the bonds at a specified price and date before
maturity. For example, bonds are often called when interest rates have
dropped significantly from the time the bond was issued. Before you
buy a bond, always ask if there is a call provision and, if there is, be sure
to consider the yield
to call as well as the yield to maturity . Since
a call provision offers protection to the issuer, callable bonds usually offer a higher annual
return than comparable non-callable
bonds to compensate the
investor for the risk that the investor might have to reinvest the
proceeds of a called bond at a lower interest rate. Put Provision
A bond may have a put provision, which gives
an investor the option to sell the bond to an issuer at a specified
price and date prior to maturity. Typically, investors exercise a put
provision when they need cash or when interest rates have risen
so that they may then reinvest the proceeds at a higher interest rate.
Since a put provision offers protection to the investor, bonds with such
features usually offer a lower annual return than comparable bonds without a
put to compensate the issuer. Conversion
Some corporate bonds, known as convertible bonds, contain
an option to convert the bond into common stock instead of receiving a cash
payment. Convertible bonds contain provisions on how and when the option to
convert can be exercised. Convertibles offer a lower coupon rate because they
have the stability of a bond while offering the potential upside of a stock. |

Beating the
Historical Odds: Recession Risk in 2019 and Beyond We have long highlighted the risks that have historically
been associated with large overshoots of full employment. We have noted that
the Fed has never engineered a soft landing from beyond full employment, that
few other advanced economy central banks have either, and that countries that
have achieved very long expansions often used countercyclical policy to
prevent a large overshoot in the first place. In practice it hasn’t been easy
to nudge up the unemployment rate just so. While we take this lesson
seriously, we think it is being applied too mechanically by market
participants today. The key difference with the past is that the Phillips
curve is flatter and better anchored on the Fed’s target today. As a result,
where labor market overshoots once led to high and accelerating inflation and
consequently had to be unwound urgently with a forceful policy response,
today an overshoot will more likely mean inflation persistently but only
moderately above target. The Fed could probably live with this for a while,
permitting it to tighten gradually and unwind the overshoot slowly. This
gives the Fed a good chance of beating the historical odds. How worried
should we be about recession risk today? The history of US recessions points
to two classic causes of US recessions, overheating and financial imbalances.
While overheating risks could emerge down the road, they look quite limited
for now: core inflation is at 2%, trend unit labor cost growth is at 2%, and
both household inflation expectations and market-implied inflation
compensation are below average (Exhibit 9). (Please refer to https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/outlook-2019/us-outlook/report.pdf for a better quality graph) We also see little risk from financial imbalances at the
moment. At a high level, the private sector financial balance—a very good
predictor of recession risk—looks quite healthy (Exhibit 10). Digging deeper,
our financial excess monitor looks for elevated valuations and stretched risk
appetite across major asset classes, and for financial imbalances and
vulnerabilities in the household, business, banking, and government sectors.
Overall, the message is mostly reassuring. On the valuations side, while
commercial real estate prices look somewhat frothy, lending terms and
standards have tightened in recent years. On the sectoral imbalances side,
fiscal sustainability remains a long-run concern, but we see this less as a
recession trigger than as something that could prolong a downturn if
policymakers perceive a lack fiscal space to respond. These two classic
recession risks are complementary—overheating and the associated risk of a
more abrupt shift in monetary policy is more threatening when financial
imbalances are elevated and less threatening when they are limited. With
neither risk looking worrisome at the moment, we do not think it makes sense
to characterize the economy as “late cycle” at this point. The most obvious recession risk beyond 2019 is a mundane
and technical one. With a low potential growth rate and a possible need to
operate the economy a touch below potential to gradually unwind the
overshoot—we forecast 1.5% growth in 2020 and 2021—the likelihood that normal
fluctuations will tip growth negative is mechanically somewhat higher. We
would interpret this as simply highlighting the arbitrariness of defining
recessions as negative growth, rather than as a material rise in the
unemployment rate. Of course, even a less severe recession could see a large
sell-off in risk assets. Accounting for these and other considerations, our
recession risk model indicates that recession risk is still quite low
(Exhibit 11). The expansion is therefore on course to become the longest in
US history next year, and even in subsequent years recession is not our base
case. (Please refer to https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/outlook-2019/us-outlook/report.pdf for a better quality graph) · What
Is the Capital Asset Pricing Model?
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
of investment Rf =
Risk-free rate βi =
Beta of the investment Rm =
Expected return of market (Rm -
Rf) = Market risk premium Investors
expect to be compensated for risk and the time value of money.
The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula accounts for the time value
of money. The other components of the CAPM formula account for the investor
taking on additional risk. The beta of
a potential investment is a measure of how much risk the investment will add
to a portfolio that looks like the market. If a stock is riskier than the
market, it will have a beta greater than one. If a stock has a beta of less
than one, the formula assumes it will reduce the risk of a portfolio. A
stock’s beta is then multiplied by the market risk premium, which is the
return expected from the market above the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate
is then added to the product of the stock’s beta and the market risk
premium. The result should give an investor the required
return or discount rate they can use to find the value of an
asset. The
goal of the CAPM formula is to evaluate whether a stock is fairly valued when
its risk and the time value of money are compared to its expected return. For example, imagine an investor is
contemplating a stock worth $100 per share today that pays a 3% annual
dividend. The stock has a beta compared to the market of 1.3, which means it
is riskier than a market portfolio. Also, assume that the risk-free rate is
3% and this investor expects the market to rise in value by 8% per year. The
expected return of the stock based on the CAPM formula is 9.5%. The
expected return of the CAPM formula is used to discount the expected
dividends and capital appreciation of the stock over the expected holding
period. If the discounted value of those future cash flows is equal to $100
then the CAPM formula indicates the stock is fairly valued relative to risk. (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp) Finding
Beta Value (https://finance.zacks.com/stock-beta-value-8004.html) The current beta
value of a company stock is provided for free by many online financial news
services, including Morningstar, Google Finance and Yahoo Finance. Online
brokerage services provide more extensive tracking of a company's beta
measurements, including historical trends. Beta is sometimes listed under
"market data" or other similar headings, as it describes past market
performance. A stock with a beta of 1.0 has the same price volatility as the
market index, meaning if the market gains, the stock makes gains at the same
rate. A stock with a beta of greater than 1.0 is riskier and has greater
price fluctuations, while stocks with beta values of less than 1.0 are
steadier and generally larger companies. Examples
of Beta Beta is often
measured against the S&P 500 index. An S&P 500 stock with a beta of
2.0 produced a 20 percent increase in returns during a period of time when
the S&P 500 Index grew only 10 percent. This same measurement also means
the stock would lose 20 percent when the market dropped by only 10 percent.
High beta values, including those more than 1.0, are volatile and carry more
risk along with greater potential returns. The measurement doesn't
distinguish between upward and downward movements. Investing Daily notes that
investors try to use stocks with high beta values to quickly recoup their
investments after sharp market losses. Small-Cap
Stocks Beta
values are useful to evaluate stock prices of smaller companies. These
small-capitalization stocks are attractive to investors because their price
volatility can promise greater returns, but Market Watch recommends only
buying small-cap stocks with beta values of less than 1.0. The beta value is
also a component of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which helps investors
analyze the risk of an investment and the returns needed to make it
profitable. The Importance of Diversification

we use dividend to estimate a firm’s intrinsic value? · Are
future dividends predictable? · Refer
to the following table for WMT’s dividend history http://stock.walmart.com/investors/stock-information/dividend-history/default.aspx
Can you estimate the expected dividend in 2021? And in 2022? And
on and on… Can
you write down the math equation now? WMT
stock price = ? Can
you calculate now? It is hard right because we assume dividend payment goes
to infinity. How can we simplify the calculation? We
can assume that dividend grows at certain rate, just as the table on the
right shows. Discount
rate is r (based on Beta and CAPM learned in chapter 6) Dividend growth model: Refer to http://www.calculatinginvestor.com/2011/05/18/gordon-growth-model/ · Now let’s apply this
Dividend growth model in problem solving. Dividend Growth Model Calculator (www.jufinance.com/stock) Equations Po = D1/(r-g) = Do*(1+g)/(r-g), Where D1= next dividend; Do = just paid dividend;
r=stock return; g= dividend growth rate; Po= current market price Dividend Yield = D1/Po = Do*(1+g) / Po Capital gain yield = (P1/Po) -1 = g Total return = dividend yield + capital gain yield = D1/Po + g Non-constant dividend growth model (www.jufinance.com/dcf) Equations Pn = Dn+1/(r-g) = Dn*(1+g)/(r-g), since
year n, dividends start to grow at a constant rate. Where Dn+1= next dividend in year
n+1; Do = just paid dividend in year n; r=stock return; g= dividend growth rate; Pn= current market price in year n; Po = npv(r, D1, D2, …, Dn+Pn) Or, Po = D1/(1+r) + D2/(1+r)^2 + … +

You expect AAA Corporation to generate the following
free cash flows over the next five years:
Since year 6,
you estimate that AAA's free cash flows will grow at 6% per year. WACC of AAA
= 15% ·
Calculate the enterprise value for DM Corporation. ·
Assume that AAA has $500 million debt and 14
million shares outstanding, calculate its stock price. 2. AAA’s
divided yield = 2.5%, equity cost = 10%, and its dividends will grow at a
constant rate of g. How much is g? A) 2.5% B) 5.0% C) 10.0% D) 7.5% Answer: 3. AAA pays no dividend currently. However, you
expect it pay an annual dividend of $0.56/share 2 years from now with a
growth rate of 4% per year thereafter. Its equity cost = 12%, then its stock
price=? A) $4.67 B) $5.00 C) $6.25 D) $7.00 Answer: 4. AAA expects to have earnings of $2.50 per share
this coming year. It will retain all of the earnings for the next year. For
the following 3 years, it will retain 50% of its earnings. It will ten retain
25% of its earnings after that. Each year, retained earnings will be used in
new projects with a return of 20% per year as expected. The rest of retained
earnings will paid to shareholders as dividends. Its equity cost = 10%. Its
stock price=? A) $40.80 B) $44.60 C) $59.80 D) $63.50
Hint: after year 5, the growth rate =0.2/3.99 = 5% Answer:
after year 5,
the growth rate =0.2/3.99 = 5% = growth in earnings / EPS So price at
year 4 = 3/(10%-5%) =60 So current
stock price = 1.5/(1+10%)^2 + 1.65/(1+10%)^3 + 1.82/(1+10%)^4 + 60/(1+10%)^4 =
44.60 Or price =

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. Deriving the Gordon Growth Model
Equation
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 |

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%) Ke = 5/(50 – 0) + 5% WACC = Wd*Kd +We*Ke = 2. 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%) 3.
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%) 4.
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. WACC Case study (due with

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Calculator
(FYI) http://www.ultimatecalculators.com/weighted_average_cost_of_capital_WACC_calculator.html ‘Simple Rules’ for Running a Business
From the 20-page cellphone contract to the five-pound employee
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.” After that, only the “maybes” were sent
to management. This dramatically decreased the amount of time management
spend evaluating these projects–that time was
decreased by almost a factor of 10. 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. |

For the sensitivity analysis part, there is an easy fix. Just type the
new numbers directly into the cell for the units sold, the unit costs, and
the salvage value, and you will get the correct NPVs. I made a mistake in the
video. I used the equations to get the numbers for those columns. This is
wrong. For example, just type in 700, 850, 1000, 1150, 1300, for new units
sold. Do not use equations. ·
