Financial Model:
• FCFF= CF(operations)-Exp(C)+ Interest
*(1-tax rate)
– 2003: $ 8,004.54 (in millions) or $ 1.21 /share
– 2002: $ 4,569.84 (in millions) or $.69 /share
– 2001: $ 1,712.42 (in millions) or $.25 /share
Recommendation
P/Etrailing * FCFF = 20.43 * $1.21 = $ 24.72
• Therefore.. Since last price is $ 23.36,
BUY!
The Fisher Approach
 Company has had a stable operating structure
(ratio of revenue-income stayed consistent)
 All the head managers and officers have been
with the company for at least 22 years.
 Majority of revenue come from Asia-Pacific
Region which has steadily increased.
**Prospects look promising. Assuming no
unforeseen circumstances, buy and hold for the
long run.
