Correlation Between Underpricing Using First Day Return

Our reconciliation for this undervaluation is that the market is already pricing in a takeover. Some evidence of this can be demonstrated by the 1.0 beta of paramount. If we look at the 1992 Q1 to August 30 1993 returns of S&P500 and PCI, PCI is +30.6% and S&P500 is +14.6%, which implies an approximate

The most obvious reason for the difference between the market value of equity and the book value of equity is the inability to record certain intangible assets such as brand value, customer loyalty, and perhaps most importantly, human capital. These intangible assets are likely to provide tremendous earnings growth in the future which determines the company’s market value. Notice also that the company’s choice of conservative accounting policies has the effect of depressing the company’s book value of equity.

Same as the results of 10-year period, the healthcare excess return is positively correlated with the utility excess return while negatively correlated with the material excess return. Compared to the 10-year results, it is found that beta of X1 decreases from 0.2750 to 0.2045 and beta of X2 decreases from -0.3165 to -0.3382. Also, beta of X0 drops which indicates without incorporating the event risk, more other variable is explained by the explanatory variables. As the p-value is less than 5% significance level, the relationships are both statistically significant. The standard errors of X1 and X2 are both small enough to indicate that the observations are close to the fitted

Investors often come to believe that a stock is undervalued or overvalued compared to other stocks in its industrial group. To calculate an alternate target price for the current and next fiscal year based on those beliefs, investors can apply the average PE multiple for a company 's industrial group to the average professional analyst 's earnings estimate for the company in those periods. Valuation using the industry 's

The key coefficient in these figures is the coefficient on goodwill. The p-values for the goodwill coefficients in both periods are sufficiently low (.0029 and 0.0008, respectively) to indicate that there is a significant correlation between market capitalization and goodwill. This coefficient goes down from 0.418 in prior-2001 periods to 0.171 in post-2001 periods, indicating that investors have a significant negative reaction to the goodwill impairment that arises from FAS 142, and therefore our second hypothesis is

First this will extend the related literature on the topic of mergers, second requests and the use of event studies in detecting anticompetitive mergers. Second, by looking specifically at the changes in expected stock price of a company against the cumulative abnormal returns that they received, we can see the difference in which the issuance of a second request had upon the companies, which will enhance our knowledge of the subject. Third, by analyzing the effects of whether a company received a second request or complaint, and which year and transaction value was attached to the acquisition or merger we can determine patterns for the future which can assist policy makers in introducing new legislature on defining which companies require a second request and those that do not. By also including the use of CARs over an event window within our study, we can understand more thoroughly how and if the issuance of second requests and complaints effects a company’s stock price as we have

After that, we analyses the company’s financial performance through analyses the recent three years’ annual report from 2013 to 2015. Based the previous steps, we could conduct the evaluation of the company through many comprehensive indexes like WACC and two-stage discounted free cash flow model, we get the stock price by both FCFF and FCFE are $8.06 and $7.44 respectively , compare to the current price of 20 May 2016 is $10.36, and the price is overvalued.

Most rely on valuation heuristics involving P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales . The simplicity of using heuristic triggers dependence on valuation heuristics as an alternative for the fundamental valuation. P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales need few variables and use simple formulas. Therefore , the estimates are rather perceptive THUS subject to bias. The cause of these biases arise from weak assumption made towards P/E, PEG, and price-to-sales inputs.

Multicollinearity can also be seen from (1) the value of tolerance and (2) variance inflation factor (VIF). Both these measurements indicate each variable which independent explained by other independent variables. In a simple understanding of each independent variable becomes the dependent variable (tied) and regressed against other independent variables. Tolerance measuring the variability of

If the market value of a stock is lower than its intrinsic value, this stock is defined as “trades at a discount”. To figure out whether AGI stock is traded at a discount to comparable companies, as its management believed, we can simply apply multiple which comes from the average multiple of its comparable companies. Considering fluctuation of future after-tax earnings caused by the change in capital structure, we prefer to use TEV/EBITDA multiple in this case. Amtelecom Group consists of two lines of business which has to been taken into consideration. We separately calculate the value of both companies and their

Using the same market risk premium and risk free rate (5.5% & 4.62% respectively) given in the case, the averaged beta of 1.40, the pretax cost of debt of 7.65%, and the weighted average of debt & equity, the products & systems

The announcement from A-1 Holdings Company for a hostile takeover made National Brands’ management worried. The CEO of the National Brand, Bill Hall, the chief operating officer, Tom Straw, the chief financial officer, Doris Faraday, and Stan Lindner from public relation all sat down and discussed on this particular problem. So far, A-1 Holdings had already bought 5 percent of National Brand’s outstanding shares and made offer for the rest at 7 1/8 over market, which was $55 per share. For Bill Hall, the head of A-1 Holdings, Kelly O’Brien was a bad guy who might just want to take over the company and make his employees miserable. Tom Straw then suggested the poison pill approach to defense the takeover but the idea was doubted by Stan because it did not seem good for the company. Doris, after working with her numbers, proposed her Pac Man defense idea. The Pac Man defense approach meant making counter offer to buy A-1 Holdings at $17 a share. She believed with National Brands’ strong financial position, it is highly possible that this defense would work. Bill agreed with this idea and started to have his people working on analyzing the details of this approach.

As indicated by the case study S&P 500 index was use as a measure of the total return for the stock market. Our standard deviation of the total return was used as a one measure of the risk of an individual stock. Also betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The variables were: total return for the stock as the dependent variable and independent variable is the total return for the stock. Since the descriptive statistics were a lot, only the necessary data was selected (below table.)
