Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 10CRCT
Earnings and Stock Returns [LO1] As indicated by a number of examples in this chapter, earnings announcements by companies are closely followed by, and frequently result in, share price revisions. Two issues should come to mind. First, earnings announcements concern past periods. If the market values stocks based on expectations of the future, why are numbers summarizing past performance relevant?
Second, these announcements concern accounting earnings. Going back to Chapter 2, such earnings may have little to do with cash flow—so, again, why are they relevant?

CH6 # 1 The ABC Company has a stable dividend policy ($2 per share per year). It also has a policy of not raising new capital from the market. The policy is to invest the available funds after payment of the dividends (excess cash is invested in marketable securities).
What does this imply about the use of the present value method of making investment decisions?
20. When we are studying the stock price reactions to earnings announcement, why do we need to know analysts’ earnings forecast consensus?

Corporate valuation model The corporate valuation model, the price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple approach, and the economic value added (EVA) approach are some examples of valuation techniques. The corporate valuation model is similar to the dividend-based valuation that you’ve done in previous problems, but it focuses on a firm’s free cash flows (FCFs) instead of its dividends. Some firms don’t pay dividends, or their dividends are difficult to forecast. For that reason, some analysts use the corporate valuation model. Blur Corp. has an expected net operating profit after taxes, EBIT(1 – T), of $7,600 million in the coming year. In addition, the firm is expected to have net capital expenditures of $1,140 million, and net operating working capital (NOWC) is expected to increase by $10 million. How much free cash flow (FCF) is Blur Corp. expected to generate over the next year? $8,730 million $6,450 million $118,668 million $6,470 million…arrow_forward

- Question 5In the absence of market imperfections and taxes, stock repurchases are same as cash dividends.

Nonconstant growth stock As companies evolve, certain factors can drive sudden growth. This may lead to a period of nonconstant, or variable, growth. This would cause the expected growth rate to increase or decrease, thereby affecting the valuation model. For companies in such situations, you would refer to the variable, or nonconstant, growth model for the valuation of the company’s stock. Consider the case of Portman Industries: Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $1.92 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 16.00% over the next year. After the next year, though, Portman’s dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.20% per year.
