Cassinerio Legajo: 33.711.451 Director de Tesis: Alejandro Loizaga Lugar y Fecha: Buenos Aires, Junio 2017 1 Índice Resumen ejecutivo 3 Introducción 3 Descripción del sector 5 Descripción de la compañía 10 Análisis de riesgos 21 Análisis financiero 23 Metodología de valuación 32 Análisis de comparables – Múltiplos 56 Conclusiones 63 Bibliografía 65 2 Tesis de graduaciòn: Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM) Resumen ejecutivo El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo plantear los principales lineamientos para realizar un ejercicio de valuación de capital accionario de Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM). Esta compañía es una cadena de supermercados regional que opera en la región sudoeste de Estados Unidos y se enfoca en la venta de productos orgánicos y saludables a precios accesibles, siendo sus principales competidores cadenas tradicionales de alcance nacional y otras tiendas con enfoques similares como Whole Foods o Trader Joe’s. El ejercicio de valuación se llevará a cabo mediante la técnica de Valor Presente Ajustado (APV por sus siglas en inglés), la cual consiste en el descuento de flujos de fondos en un escenario de financiamiento a través de capital propio únicamente, al que luego se le adicionan los efectos de la deuda. El motivo de la elección de esta técnica de valuación tiene que ver con la estructura de capital de la compañía, que no se mantiene estable en el tiempo. Técnicas de valuación más reconocidas, como los flujos descontados a una tasa WACC (costo promedio ponderado del capital) no capturan plenamente los efectos de una estructura de capital tendiente al desapalancamiento, como es el caso de SFM.

  • Annual Report
    Food Bank of the Rockies 2009 Annual Report . r e g n u H g n i t h Feeding g i F Hope. ur 2008 - 2009 fiscal year marks 31 years helping to feed those in need in our service area. This year Owe saw a greater need than we've ever experienced. Our partner agencies - soup kitchens, pantries, shelters - reported substantial increases in the numbers of people they serve; many saw their demand double. More people sought food assistance due to the difficult economy. Many of those in need were asking for help for the first time. Folks like the electrician and his family, who moved to Denver, after the rural company where he worked for many years closed. He hoped the move would provide opportunities for employment. He struggled to find a job and his wife, who did find work as a cosmetologist, was diagnosed with breast cancer. With no insurance and little income, they found themselves suddenly homeless. He was staying at a men's shelter and his wife and kids were staying at another shelter. He commented, “I thought I did everything right. I worked hard, always provided for my family. We never needed help; in fact we helped others. I never thought we'd be in this situation.” We learned about the electrician and his family’s plight while interviewing about 500 clients for Feeding America's Hunger in America Survey, a national study performed every four years to get a pulse on the issue of hunger. Our staff heard many heart breaking stories.
