3 18-2 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Alternative Stock Valuation Models The Basic Stock Valuation Equation  Recall from Chapter 7, the basic stock valuation method (also referred to as the dividend discount model) can be expressed as:  Unfortunately, this model is not directly applicable to valuing firms that have low or zero dividends—so alternative methods must be used.

4 18-3 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley P/E Multiples  This approach is popular because many investors believe earnings are a good proxy for a firm’s cash flows.  A firm’s stock can be valued using the P/E method by multiplying the industry average P/E ratio by the firm’s expected earnings. Alternative Stock Valuation Models

5 18-4 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Alternative Stock Valuation Models P/E Multiples  Critical to this approach is the determination of a firm’s forecasted earnings.  Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for these forecasts to be off by as much as 20 to 40 percent.  Earnings can be forecast using outside sources (Value Line), or can be forecast directly using pro forma income statements.  This is demonstrated on the following slide.

8 18-7 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Alternative Stock Valuation Models P/E Multiples  Limitations of applying P/E multiples include the following: Uncertainty surrounding the proper earnings forecast. Uncertainty surrounding the proper P/E multiple (see Table 18.2 on the following slide). P/E multiple is not applicable to firms with negative earnings.

10 18-9 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Alternative Stock Valuation Models Book Value Multiples  A book value multiple is the market value of the firm’s common stock in relation to (as a multiple of) the book value of the firm’s common stock as shown in the financial statements.  The market/book (M/B) ratio is the market value per share dividend by the book value per share and can be used for valuation purposes as shown below:

11 18-10 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Book Value Multiples  The M/B ratio is subject to error if an improper M/B is applied.  A second problem with this approach is that the book value of a firm does not reflect relevant information such as the firm’s potential for growth.  Investors may adjust the industry M/B ratio for firms differences.  However, these adjustments are also subject to error. Alternative Stock Valuation Models

12 18-11 Copyright © 2001 Addison-Wesley Alternative Stock Valuation Models Revenue Multiples  A common revenue multiple used for valuing a firm’s stock is the price/revenue (P/R) ratio, which is the ratio of the share price to a stock’s revenue per share.  Unfortunately, the P/R ratio generally suffers from the same shortcomings as the M/B ratio.
