The readings for module 3 explain that past performance for a company or stock is not a guarantee of future performance. Yet many models for stock and company valuation link the value of past performance to future expectations. If there is no guarantee, why do you think that past performance is used to predict future company performance and stock returns?

- 1. Stock exchanges want to be sure that investors have enough information toSelect one:a. Increase a company’s performance and prospectsb. Evaluate a company’s performance and prospectsc. Decrease a company’s performance and prospectsd. Evaluate a company’s assets and liabilitiesWhich of the following contradicts weak form efficiency? Group of answer choices 1- Stock prices do not reflect information that is only available to insiders. 2- Good or bad recent stock return performance continues over the next three months. 3- The cumulative abnormal returns continue to increase until six months after a firm announces a good unexpected earnings. 4- Technical analysis could not provide abnormal returns. Fundamental analysis could not provide abnormal returns.Fundamental analysis is least likely to:a. Use security trends because it attempts to determine the intrinsic value of the stockb. Use macroeconomic factor because it uses information about the company.c. Use business model because measurement of stock is purely quantitatived. Put the management into microscope because stocks are valued in terms of demand and supplye. All of the abovef. None of the above
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion The primary operating goal of a publicly-owned firm interested in serving its stockholders should be to a. Maximize its expected EPS. b. Minimize the chances of losses. c. Maximize the stock price on a specific target date. d. Maximize its expected total corporate income. e. Maximize the stock price per share over the long run, which is the stock's intrinsic value.Using Past Information to Estimate Required Returns Use online resources to work on this chapter's questions. Please note that website information changes over time, and these changes may limit your ability to answer some of these questions. Chapter 8 discussed the basic trade-off between risk and return. In the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) discussion, beta was identified as the correct measure of risk for diversified shareholders. Recall that beta measures the extent to which the returns of a given stock move with the stock market. When using the CAPM to estimate required returns, we would like to know how the stock will move with the market in the future, but because we dont have a crystal ball, we generally use historical data to estimate this relationship with beta. As mentioned in Web Appendix 8A, beta can be estimated by regressing the individual stock's returns against the returns of the overall market. As an alternative to running our own regressions, we can rely on reported betas from a variety of sources. These published sources make it easy for us to readily obtain beta estimates for most large publicly traded corporations. However, a word of caution is in order. Beta estimates can often be quite sensitive to the time period in which the data are estimated, the market index used, and the frequency of the data used. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find a wide range of beta estimates among the various Internet websites. 4. Select one of the four stocks listed in question 3 by entering the company's ticker symbol on the financial website you have chosen. On the screen you should see the interactive chart. Select the six-month time period and compare the stock's performance to the SP 500's performance on the graph by adding the SP 500 to the interactive chart. Has the stock outperformed or underperformed the overall market during this time period?__________ focus more on underlying determinants of future profitability than the past price movements of a firm's stock. A) Credit analysts B) Fundamental analysts C) Systems analysts D) Technical analysts Please provide an accurate answer.
- A study analyzed the behavior of the stock prices of firms that had lost antitrust cases. Included in the diagram are all firms that lost the initial court decision, even if the decision was later overturned on appeal. The event at Time 0 is the initial, pre-appeal court decision. Assume no other information was released, aside from that disclosed in the initial trial. The stock prices all have a beta of 1. Is the diagram consistent with market efficiency? Why or why not?The weak-form EMH implies that stock prices currently reflects: a) All past price information. b) All publicly known information concerning the company’s future prospects. c) All public AND private information concerning the company's future prospects. d) All private information.Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Perhaps the most important step when developing forecasted financial statements is to determine the breakdown of common equity between common stock and retained earnings. The AFN equation produces more accurate forecasts than the forecasted financial statement method, especially if fixed assets are lumpy and economies of scale exist. The first, and perhaps the most critical, step in forecasting financial requirements is to forecast future sales. Forecasted financial statements, as discussed in the text, are used primarily as a part of the managerial compensation program, where management's historical performance is evaluated. The capital intensity ratio gives us an idea of the physical condition of the firm's fixed assets
- Which of the following statement is not true as part of building financial statement forecast model? While the bare minimum may be last year's balance sheet, it is unlikely that you can produce useful projections based only on a single period. Financial statement forecasting models have to start with at least some historical financial statements for the company. Using the historical data from the top competitor of the industry is important to create some benchmarks to assets if the company has been doing well or poorly. All statements are true. We need to get historical financial statements for at least three years - five is better and make sure that they are based on consistent accounting polices.Indicate whether the following statements are (True) or (False) and correct the false statements: Primary and secondary markets are markets for short-term and long-term securities, respectively. Public offering is the sale of a new security issue, typically bonds or preferred stock, directly to an investor or group of investors. When considering each financial decision alternative or possible action in terms of its impact on the share price of the firm's stock, financial managers should accept only those actions that are expected to increase the firm's profitability.Please help me fill in the blanks.
