
Outside investors, corporate insiders, and analysts use a variety of approaches to estimate a stock’s intrinsic value (P
0
).

In equilibrium we assume that a stock’s price equals its intrinsic value.

Outsiders estimate intrinsic value to help determine which stocks are attractive to buy and/or sell.

Stocks with a price below (above) its intrinsic value are undervalued ( overvalued ).


If g > r s

The constant growth model can only be used if:

Find Expected Dividend and Capital Gains
Yields during the First and Fourth Years

Dividend yield (first year)
= $2.60/$54.11 = 4.81%

Capital gains yield (first year)
= 13.00% – 4.81% = 8.19%

During nonconstant growth, dividend yield and capital gains yield are not constant, and capital gains yield ≠ g.

After t = 3, the stock has constant growth and dividend yield = 7%, while capital gains yield = 6%.

If the stock was expected to have negative growth
(g = -6%), would anyone buy the stock, and what is its value?

Yes. Even though the dividends are declining, the stock is still producing cash flows and therefore has positive value.

Find Expected Annual Dividend and Capital
Gains Yields

Capital gains yield
= g = -6.00%

Dividend yield
= 13.00% – (-6.00%) = 19.00%

Since the stock is experiencing constant growth, dividend yield and capital gains yield are constant. Dividend yield is sufficiently large (19%) to offset a negative capital gains.


Also called the free cash flow method.
Suggests the value of the entire firm equals the present value of the firm’s free cash flows.

Remember, free cash flow is the firm’s aftertax operating income less the net capital investment.
FCF = EBIT(1 – T) – Net capital investment
9-23


Find the market value (MV) of the firm, by finding the PV of the firm’s future FCFs.

Subtract MV of firm’s debt and preferred stock to get MV of common stock.

Divide MV of common stock by the number of shares outstanding to get intrinsic stock price
(value).
9-24


Often preferred to the discounted dividend model, especially when considering number of firms that don’t pay dividends or when dividends are hard to forecast.

Similar to discounted dividend model,
 assumes at some point free cash flow will grow at a constant rate.
Terminal value (TV
