c. SDI’s officers have been under pressure from the board of directors to do something to improve the price of the common stock. Management is also concerned about the stock price personally because bonuses are based on the performance of SDI’s stock price relative to other firms in its industry. So, they would like a detailed explanation of how the market price is determined—what do investors look for, and what can management do to provide what investors want? Bob Wilkes also wants you to explain how stock valuation information be used to help estimate the company’s cost of equity. Tony Biddle provided some information that can be used in the stock valuation process. First, as background on what investors think about the company, here are some representative quotations taken from analysts’ reports issued during the past few years.

We also know that Louis was contemplating a possible IPO exit strategy before the end of the holding period term. To estimate a multiple for this IPO exit, we need to look at the Price/Earnings ratio for Dollarama. Using the same methodology as above, we compared Dollarama to the same group of companies and computed the average P/E ratio for the set, see Exhibit 6a. We will consider the values for the year 2005 and will take a multiple of 24.6 for an eventual IPO exit.

  As  for  this  case,  we  decided  to  address  the  companies  that  were     2   most  similar  in  size  to  MCC  and  that  were  most  recent  since  the  industry  is  rapidly   evolving,  and  therefore,  valuations  are  also  rapidly  changing.     Discounted  Cash  Flow  Analysis       Finally,

He can use two methods to determine the value of the company: discount cash flow (DCF) approach and /or comparison with similar companies, which are publically traded.

2. What do you think the current market price is for Rosetta Stone shares? Justify your valuation using both discounted cash flow and comparables (market multiples) analysis.

4. The article said that K12 was the closest comparable company to Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is marketable to a larger consumer base than K12, so I think that it should be able to charge a higher IPO. The case said that book was more than 25 times oversubscribed during its road show which means Rosetta Stone could charge a much higher price. But these subscriptions are volatile and the economy is recovering, so a price too high could deter many investors. For my analysis I took the EBITDA margin for years 2006-2008 and found the average increase during that time to be 9.93%. I then took the estimated share value from 2008 and multiplied it by 1.0993 to factor in the average increase in share value. This resulted in a price of $19.22. Given this number I would increase the current range from $15-17 to $19-24. The reason for the increased range is because of the

One of their competitors is Amazon. Both companies are star rating the stocks are doing great. Overstock have had a constant and sturdy growth. The online retail giant is a threat to brick-and-mortar stores. Theirs some negative profitability, rising cost and some feel overstock price, put them in a danger zone with the stock market. Overstock up against the competitor such as Amazon, and Wayfair has declined some but not a lot. They have not deteriorated to the point they are in trouble with stock. The profitability of overstock is growing 13% compounded annually from 2002 through 2016; they have lost yet

4. The case indicates that the company’s “market value” of equity at June 30, 1999 was $460 billion. Compare this to the company’s “book value” of equity. What factors likely explain the difference between these two values?

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

You are the Safety Director at XYZ Widget Company in Anytown, USA. Your new boss has asked you to develop a 1 hour presentation “hitting the highlights” regarding OSHA inspections and violations. Please provide an OUTLINE and EXPLANATION of your presentation.

It is determined that the company worth is $856,518 with a share price of $351.03 per value as per the discounting dividend cash flow valuation approach..In appraising the anticipated premerger performance of the company, the weighted average cost of capital is computed; the worth of the WACC for FVC is 9.2% as depicted in

The most important is Enterprise value/EBIDTA. Helps to estimate the offer of KKR, inc and gives the answer to Question N4. (See the following table)

E. Cindy and Rob estimate that the market value of the common equity in the venture is $900,000 at the end of 2010. The market values of interest-bearing debt are judged to be the same as the recorded book values at the end of 2010. Estimate the market value-based weighted average cost of capital for Castillo Products.

To arrive at a total company value, or enterprise value, we simply have to take the present value of the cash flows and the Terminal value, divide them by the discount rate and, finally, add up the results. If we are discounting free cash flow of the firm at the weighted average cost of capital, this would give the value of the firm, so it would be necessary to deduct net debt in order to arrive at the equity value. In this report, simply use FCF in the year of 2011 to compare the value of the firm to the stock price in the year end of 2011.

As our ultimate goal is to make a decision about whether it is worthwhile for us to make an investment on SHXS’s equity, we need to estimate the fair value of SHXS’s equity first by adopting our estimation of this company’s required rate of return (‘E(r)’), which is 38.7%, and then compare our result with SHXS’s IPO offer for ‘H’ shares, which is HKD1.46 per share.
