Common Stock Valuation
Our goal in this chapter is to examine
the methods commonly used by
financial analysts to assess the
economic value of common stocks.
Goal
These methods are grouped into two
categories:
c dividend discount models
d price ratio models

Security Analysis: Be Careful Out There
The basic idea is to identify “undervalued”
stocks to buy and “overvalued” stocks to sell.
In practice however, such stocks may in fact
be correctly priced for reasons not immediately
apparent to the analyst.
Fundamental analysis
Examination of a firm’s accounting
statements and other financial and economic
information to assess the economic value of
a company’s stock.

The Dividend Discount Model
where V(0) = the present value of the future dividend
stream
D(t) = the dividend to be paid t years from now
k = the appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate
Dividend discount model (DDM)
Method of estimating the value of a share of
stock as the present value of all expected
future dividend payments.

The Dividend Discount Model
Example: Constant Growth Rate Model
Suppose the dividend growth rate is 10%, the
discount rate is 8%, there are 20 years of dividends to
be paid, and the current dividend is $10. What is the
value of the stock based on the constant growth rate
model?

The Dividend Discount Model
Example: Constant Perpetual Growth Model
Consider the electric utility industry. In late 2000, the
utility company Detroit Edison (DTE) paid a $2.06
dividend. Using D(0)=$2.06, k =8%, and g=2%,
calculate a present value estimate for DTE. Compare
this with the late-2000 DTE stock price of $36.13.

The Dividend Discount Model
The growth rate in dividends (g) can be
estimated in a number of ways.
c Using the company’s historical average growth
rate.
d Using an industry median or average growth rate.
e Using the sustainable growth rate.

The Dividend Discount Model
Example: The Sustainable Growth Rate
DTE has a ROE of 12.5%, earnings per share (EPS)
of $3.34, and a per share dividend (D(0)) of $2.06.
Assuming k = 8%, what is the value of DTE’s stock?
Payout ratio = $2.06/$3.34 = .617
So, retention ratio = 1 – .617 = .383 or 38.3%
Sustainable growth rate = 12.5% × .383 = 4.79%

The Two-Stage Dividend Growth Model
A two-stage dividend growth model assumes
that a firm will initially grow at a rate g
1
for T
years, and thereafter grow at a rate g
2
< k
during a perpetual second stage of growth.

Observations on Dividend Discount Models
Constant Perpetual Growth Model
9 Simple to compute.
8 Not usable for firms that do not pay dividends.
8 Not usable when g > k.
8 Is sensitive to the choice of g and k.
8 k and g may be difficult to estimate accurately.
8 Constant perpetual growth is often an
unrealistic assumption.

Observations on Dividend Discount Models
Two-Stage Dividend Growth Model
9 More realistic in that it accounts for two stages
of growth.
9 Usable when g > k in the first stage.
8 Not usable for firms that do not pay dividends.
8 Is sensitive to the choice of g and k.
8 k and g may be difficult to estimate accurately.

Price Ratio Analysis
Price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio)
Î Current stock price divided by annual earnings per
share (EPS).
Earnings yield
Î Inverse of the P/E ratio: earnings divided by price
(E/P).
High-P/E stocks are often referred to as growth
stocks, while low-P/E stocks are often referred
to as value stocks.

Price Ratio Analysis
Price-cash flow ratio (P/CF ratio)
Î Current stock price divided by current cash flow
per share.
Î In this context, cash flow is usually taken to be net
income plus depreciation.
Most analysts agree that in examining a
company’s financial performance, cash flow
can be more informative than net income.
Earnings and cash flows that are far from each
other may be a signal of poor quality earnings.

Price Ratio Analysis
Price-sales ratio (P/S ratio)
Î Current stock price divided by annual sales per
share.
Î A high P/S ratio suggests high sales growth, while
a low P/S ratio suggests sluggish sales growth.
Price-book ratio (P/B ratio)
Î Market value of a company’s common stock
divided by its book (accounting) value of equity.
Î A ratio bigger than 1.0 indicates that the firm is
creating value for its stockholders.
