How Do Underwriters Value Initial Public Offerings?: An Empirical Analysis of the French IPO Market Abstract This paper investigates how French underwriters value the stocks of companies they bring public. Underwriters often use several valuation methods to determine their fair value estimate of the IPO firm’s equity. We investigate five of these valuation methods: peer group multiples valuation, the dividend discount model, the discounted cash flow model, the economic value added method, and underwriter-specific methods. We document that underwriters base their choice for a particular valuation method on firm characteristics, aggregate stock market returns and aggregate stock market volatility in the period before the IPO. In addition, we examine how underwriters combine the value estimates of the valuation methods they use into a fair value estimate by assigning weights to these value estimates. We document that these weights also depend on firm-specific factors, aggregate stock market returns and aggregate stock market volatility. Finally, we document that underwriters discount their fair value estimate to set the preliminary offer price of the shares.

    Aswath Damodaran 1 Valuation: Lecture Note Packet 1 Intrinsic Valuation Aswath Damodaran Updated: September 2016 The essence of intrinsic value 2 ¨ In intrinsic valuation, you value an asset based upon its fundamentals (or intrinsic characteristics). ¨ For cash flow generating assets, the intrinsic value will be a function of the magnitude of the expected cash flows on the asset over its lifetime and the uncertainty about receiving those cash flows. ¨ Discounted cash flow valuation is a tool for estimating intrinsic value, where the expected value of an asset is written as the present value of the expected cash flows on the asset, with either the cash flows or the discount rate adjusted to reflect the risk. Aswath Damodaran 2 The two faces of discounted cash flow valuation 3 ¨ The value of a risky asset can be estimated by discounting the expected cash flows on the asset over its life at a risk-adjusted discount rate: where the asset has an n-year life, E(CFt) is the expected cash flow in period t and r is a discount rate that reflects the risk of the cash flows. ¨ Alternatively, we can replace the expected cash flows with the guaranteed cash flows we would have accepted as an alternative (certainty equivalents) and discount these at the riskfree rate: where CE(CFt) is the certainty equivalent of E(CFt) and rf is the riskfree rate. Aswath Damodaran 3 Risk Adjusted Value: Two Basic Propositions 4 ¨ The value of an asset is the risk-adjusted present value of the cash flows: 1. The “IT” proposition: If IT does not affect the expected cash flows or the riskiness of the cash flows, IT cannot affect value.

  • Asset Management Companies Valuation
    THE VALUATION OF ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANIES Prof. Roberto Moro Visconti – Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano, Italy [email protected] Abstract Asset management firms are characterized by having quite high margins, although working in a highly competitive industry. However, the nature of their businesses makes it difficult to define both debt and reinvestment, making the estimation of cash flows much more difficult. It is reasonable to assume that Free Cash Flows to Equity-holders (FCFE) are proxied by net earnings because of a negligible level of investments, depreciation, and net working capital. For Asset Management firms, dividends are often the only tangible cash flow that we can observe or estimate. The common methods used to value asset management firms are the discounted cash flow, the multiples, and the Dividend Discount Model, with some adaptions. Despite their simplicity, rules of thumbs are often characterized by the inaccuracy of the final value. Keywords : Assets under Management, Discounted Cash Flows, Dividend Discount Model, 1 multiples, rules of thumb, fees. 1. Framework Asset Management companies can be independent investment companies or a part of a bank; they usually do not invest in their own account but on behalf of their clients. This is one distinguished difference between asset management companies with other financial institutions such as commercial banks, investment banks, or insurers (Elliott, 2014). MorningStar defines investment management firms as “firms offering diversified services such as asset administration, investment advice, portfolio or mutual fund management, money management, venture capital, and investment research”. According to the recent academic literature, the three methods commonly used for the valuation of the asset management firms are: 1.

This study is aimed to test the reliability of the constant growth DDM in valuation of the selected common stock listed companies in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). The accuracy of constant growth DDM to predict the value of common stocks was compared from the actual values using the symmetric median absolute percentage error (sMdAPE), and then tested whether the median difference between the predicted and actual values of the selected common stock listed companies were significant using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results of the study showed that majority of the companies had a sMdAPE less than 30%. This means that the error to predict the common stock values among the companies was less than 30%.

Financing Decision Theories Financial Investment Decision Decision 1. M. M. Hypothesis 2. Walter Model Dividend Decision 3. Gordon Model 4. Traditional theory 5. Linter Model © The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India 9.2 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 9.1 INTRODUCTION Financial management is the process of making financial decisions. Financial decision broadly covers three areas: i. Financing decision ii. Investment decision iii. Dividend decision Dividend decision is one of the most important areas of management decisions. It is easy to understand but difficult to implement. Let’s understand this with the help of an example, suppose a company, say X limited, which is continuously paying the dividend at a normal growth rate, earns huge profits this year. Now the management has to decide whether continue to pay dividend at normal rate or to pay at an increasing rate? Why this dilemma? The reason is that, if the management decides to pay higher dividend, then it might be possible that next year, the company will not achieve such higher growth rate, resulting the next year’s dividend will be low as compared to last year’s. However, if the company decides to stay on the normal rate of dividend then surplus amount of retained earnings would remain idle which will result in over capitalization, if no opportunity existing to utilize the funds. Also there are more factors which will affect the dividend decision (will be discussed later).

  • Dividend Discount Models
    ch13_p323-350.qxp 12/5/11 2:14 PM Page 323 CHAPTER 13 Dividend Discount Models n the strictest sense, the only cash flow you receive from a firm when you buy I publicly traded stock in it is a dividend. The simplest model for valuing equity is the dividend discount model—the value of a stock is the present value of expected dividends on it. While many analysts have turned away from the dividend discount model and view it as outmoded, much of the intuition that drives discounted cash flow valuation stems from the dividend discount model. In fact, there are compa- nies where the dividend discount model remains a useful tool for estimating value. This chapter explores the general model as well as specific versions of it tailored for different assumptions about future growth. It also examines issues in using the dividend discount model and the results of studies that have looked at its efficacy. THE GENERAL MODEL When an investor buys stock, he or she generally expects to get two types of cash flows—dividends during the period the stock is held and an expected price at the end of the holding period. Since this expected price is itself determined by future dividends, the value of a stock is the present value of dividends through infinity: ∞ t= E(DPS ) Value per share of stock = ∑ t + t t=1 ()1 ke = where DPSt Expected dividends per share = ke Cost of equity The rationale for the model lies in the present value rule—the value of any asset is the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at a rate appropriate to the riskiness of the cash flows being discounted.

  • An Alternative to the Pure Dividend Discount Model
    An Alternative to the Pure Dividend Discount Model William Carlson, Palumbo/Donahue School of Business, Duquesne University Conway Lackman, Palumbo/Donahue School of Business, Duquesne University ABSTRACT The pure dividend model cannot be used to analyze stocks with a zero or nominal dividend payout. Given the recent global financial crisis, this deficiency could exacerbate future global crises. The multiplier model redeveloped here is a general model capable of analyzing such stocks. Two stage models can give the same results as multistage models with fewer assumptions. Graham and Dodd (1962) estimated a multiplier of about 15 for the average S and P stock. Our update of their results gives a multiplier estimate of 16.4. They used data from 1871 to 1960 for their estimate. We added 1961-94 and 2005-1H06 in our update excluding 1995-2004 which was distorted by the dot.com bubble. Two useful by-product results emerged. It is estimated that the historic value of (kM–gM) is .0354. The terminal market growth rate gM was estimated to be .0711. Combining these two estimates gives an estimate of .1065 for kM which is a key number in the security market line equation. Keywords: Dividend policy, dividend models INTRODUCTION The simple (DDM) dividend discount model P = Do (1+g) / (k–g) cannot be used for high growth companies when the growth rate g exceeds the discount rate k. Accordingly, two and three stage models have been created to solve the problem. In turn there are two versions of the multistage model. One, presented in Reilly and Norton can be called the pure dividend discount model.

Asset Liquidity and the Cost of Capital Hernán Ortiz-Molina and Gordon M. Phillips NBER Working Paper No. 15992 May 2010 JEL No. G12,G32 ABSTRACT We study the effect of real asset liquidity on a firm’s cost of capital. We find an aggregate asset-liquidity discount in firms’ cost of capital that is strongly counter-cyclical. At the firm-level we find that asset liquidity affects firms’ cost of capital both in the cross section and in the time series: Firms in industries with more liquid assets and during periods of high asset liquidity have lower cost of capital.
