- 7. More on ratio analysis Analysts and investors often use return on equity (ROE) to compare profitability of a company with other firms in the industry. ROE is considered a very important measure, and managers strive to make the company’s ROE numbers look good. If a firm takes steps that increase its expected future ROE, its stock price will increase. Based on your understanding of the uses and limitations of ROE, a rational investor is likely to prefer an investment option that has: High ROE and high risk High ROE and low risk Suppose you are trying to decide whether to invest in a company that generates a high expected ROE, and you want to conduct further analysis on the company’s performance.

- 10. 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.
