Fundamental and technical analysis of companies before investing
1. Fundamental Analysis
Macroeconomics Analysis
Industry Analysis
Equity Valuation Model
(Dividend Discount Model- DDM)
Financial Statement Analysis
2. Macroeconomics Analysis
Global Economy Analysis
affects export, price competition and profits
exchange rate: purchasing power and earnings
Domestic Economy
The ability to forecast the macroeconomy can translate
into great investment performance
outperform other analysts to earn extra profits
Many variables can affect economy
3. Gross Domestic Product (GDP):
measures the economys total output of goods and services
Employment rate:
measures the extent that the economy is operating at full capacity
Inflation
measures the general level of prices increase Phillips curve
Interest Rate
high interest rate reduces PV of cashflows, thus stock values
Budget Deficit
large deficit means more borrowing, which
implies higher interest rate.
Sentiment
consumers and producers confidence
4. Business Cycles
business cycles: pattern of recession and recovery
peak: the end of expansion and start of recession
trough: the bottom of the recession
stock returns are decreasing when at peak and
increasing at trough
cyclical industries: do well in expansionary periods but
poorly in recession, e.g., durable goods such as automobile
and wash machines
defensive industries: little sensitive to business cycles,
such food
5. Industry Analysis
Select a good industry to invest. It is difficult for
a firm to do well in a troubled industry
Standard Industry Classification (SIC) code
Value line Investment Survey - reports 1700 firms in
90 industries
Two factors that determine the sensitivity of a
firms earnings to business conditions:
business risk,
financial risk
6. Business risk
Sales sensitivity to business condition
some industries are robust (food) while others are
not (movie)
operating leverage: the division between fixed and
variable costs.
firms with greater amounts of variable cost relative to the
fixed cost are subject less to business fluctuations, thus
profits are more stable
Financial Risk
the degree in using financial leverage (the amount
of interest payment)
leverage firm is more sensitive to business cycles
8. Equity Valuation Model
Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
V0= (D1+P1)/(1+k)
= D1/(1+k) + D2/(1+k)2
...+ Dn/(1+k)n
constant growth assumption
V0 = D1/(1+k) + D1(1+g)/(1+k)2
+D1(1+g)2/(1+k)3 + ...
= D1/(k-g)
or k = expected return
= D1/P0 + g
9. Multistage Growth Model
Growth profile may not be constant such as:
Expected Growth
Time
g1
g2
n
V=D0(1+g1)/(1+k)+...+D0(1+g1)n/(1+k)n
+ D0(1+g1)n(1+g2)/(1+k)n+1+ ... and so on
10. Illustration of two-stage Growth
Model
A stock pays $1 dividend now and its g1=30% for
6 yrs. Thereafter, its g2=6%, its k=15%
yr 1: $1(1+0.3) =1.13
yr 2: 1(1+0.3)2=1.69
yr 3: 1(1+0.3)3=2.20
yr 4: 1(1+0.3)4 =2.86
.
yr 7: 1(1+0.3)6(1+6%) =5.12
yr 8: 1(1+0.3)6(1+6%)2 =5.42
.
11. Market Value (equity)
Market value is the present value of its future dividends
Time PV(Dt) Growth rate
0 34.0 -
1 37.8 11.17%
2 41.78 10.52
3 45.85 9.74
At time 1:
FV(Dividends) = 34.00(1.15) - 1.3= 37.8
At time 2:
FV(dividends) = 37.80(1.15) - 1.69=41.78
Expected return at time 0 (15%)
= Yr end dividend/current price + growth rate
= 1.3/34 + 11.17%
12. P/E Ratio Behaviors
Price = No growth value/share
P0 = E1/k + PVGO
or
P0/E1= [1+ PVGO]/k
E1/k
Time
P/E
average
13. Pitfalls in P/E Analysis
Denomination of P/E ratio is the accounting
earnings (arbitrary rules or historical cost
will distort the earnings figures)
Earning should be based on economic
earnings (i.e., net of economic deprecation)
Earnings are future figures vs P/E ratio
(which uses past accounting earnings)
14. Earnings Forecast
Models for forecasting:
Ei,t = gi + Ei,t-4 +ai(Ei,t-1-Ei,t-5)
where g: growth factor
a: adjustment factor
E: Earnings
Time Series Analysis
ARMA model
Exponential smoothing
professional institution forecast
Performance Evaluation MSE or others
