Financial statements provide majority of financial information about firms Analysis implies comparison over time or with other firms in the same industry Focus on how statements used, not made Basic Financial Statements Balance Sheet Items listed in order of liquidity or in order of payment Assets Cash vs. non-cash assets Non-cash assets may be worth more or less than carried on books Depreciation methods for fixed assets Inventory evaluation choices Basic Financial Statements Balance Sheet Liabilities Fixed claims against the firm Equity Residual Adjusts when the value of assets change Linked to Income Statement Picture at one point in time Basic Financial Statements Income Statement Sales or revenues Product costs Gross profit Period Costs EBIT Interest EBT Taxes Net Income available to owners Dividends Addition to Retained Earnings EPS and DPS The Financial Statements Earnings per share EPS =Net Income/average number of shares outstanding Net Income before adjustments in accounting treatment or one-time events Certifying statements Auditors do not guarantee the accuracy of earnings but only that statements are fair financial representation Problems with Reported Earnings EPS for a company is not a precise figure that is readily comparable over time or between companies Alternative accounting treatments used to prepare statements Difficult to gauge the true performance of a company with any one method Investors must be aware of these problems Current Problem Areas In GAAPs Many of the best assets today are intangible, as opposed to yesterdays plant and equipment Research and development may be substantial and are not reflected in balance sheet Mergers and Acquisitions can cause confusion Analyzing a Companys Profitability Important to determine whether a companys profitability is increasing or decreasing and why Return on equity (ROE) emphasized because is key component in finding earnings and dividend growth EPS =ROE X Book value per share Du Pont Analysis Share prices depend partly on ROE Management can influence ROE Decomposing ROE into its components allows analysts to identify adverse impacts on ROE and to predict future trends Highlights expense control, asset utilization, and debt utilization ROE depends on the product of: Profit margin on sales: EBIT/Sales Total asset turnover: Sales/Total Assets Interest burden: Pre-tax Income/EBIT Tax burden: Net Income/Pre-tax Income Financial leverage: Total Assets/Equity ROE =EBIT efficiency X Asset turnover X Interest burden X Tax burden X leverage Obtaining Estimates of Earnings Expected EPS is of the most value Stock price is a function of future earnings and the P/E ratio Investors estimate expected growth in dividends or earnings by using quarterly and annual EPS forecasts Estimating internal growth rate EPS1=EPS0(1+g) Estimating an Internal Growth Rate Future expected growth rate matters in estimating earnings, dividends g =ROE X (1- Payout ratio) Only reliable if companys current ROE remains stable Estimate is dependent on the data period What matters is the future growth rate, not the historical growth rate Forecasts of EPS Security analysts forecast of earnings Consensus forecast superior to individual Time series forecast Use historical data to make earnings forecasts Evidence favors analysts over statistical models in predicting what actual reported earnings will be Analysts are still frequently wrong Earnings Surprises What is the role of expectations in selecting stocks? Old information will be incorporated into stock prices if market is efficient Unexpected information implies revision Stock prices affected by Level and growth in earnings Markets expectation of earnings Using Earnings Estimates The surprise element in earnings reports is what really matters There is a lag in adjustment of stock prices to earnings surprises One earnings surprise leads to another Watch revisions in analyst estimates Stocks with revisions of 5% or more -up or down - often show above or below-average performance The P/E Ratio Measures how much investors currently are willing to pay per dollar of earnings Summary evaluation of firms prospects A relative price measure of a stock A function of expected dividend payout ratio, required rate of return, expected growth rate in dividends Dividend Payout Ratio Dividend levels usually maintained Decreased only if no other alternative Not increased unless can be supported Adjust with a lag to earnings In theory, the higher the expected payout ratio, the higher the P/E ratio However, growth rate will probably decline, adversely affecting the P/E ratio Required Rate of Return A function of riskless rate and risk premium k =RF +RP Constant growth version of dividend discount model can be rearranged so that k =(D1/P0) +g Growth forecasts are readily available Required Rate of Return Risk premium for a stock regarded as a composite of business, financial, and other risks If the risk premium rises (falls), then k will rise (fall) and P0 will fall (rise) If RF rises (falls), then k will rise (fall) and P0 will fall (rise) Discount rates and P/E ratios move inversely to each other Expected Growth Rate Function of return on equity and the retention rate g =ROE X (1- Payout ratio) The higher the g, the higher the P/E ratio P/E ratio depends on Confidence that investors have in expected growth Reasons for earnings growth Fundamental Security Analysis in Practice Regardless of detail and complexity, analysts and investors seek an estimate of earnings and a justified P/E ratio to determine intrinsic value Security analysis always involves predicting an uncertain future and mistakes will be made and outlooks will differ  DATE \@ "M/d/yy" 11/11/00  PAGE 5 -.56k ' 8 G T ` f n r y 2 3 1 2 68{|*,ghjkIJB*CJOJQJaJ ph5B*CJOJQJ\aJph>*CJOJQJaJCJOJQJaJCJOJQJaJOJQJCJH*OJQJ CJOJQJF2eD<l  & F $ & Fa$ & F & F^ $^`a$$a$+-.IW56Q_k & F & F  & F  & F  & F & F & F^ & F ' 9 G T a f o s y . w  & F$ & Fa$^ & F vv^v & F  & F p^ & F p^ & F $^`a$w   2 3 R  1 2 V 678Ik@^$ & Fa$$a$ & F & F@`oXx!<rF[$ & Fa$$^a$^ & F & F['] *+,Etu$^a$^ & F & F,v bp \&Al$ & Fa$ & F & F^)*+, & F^h^h & F v^ %&'(,0JmHnHu0J j0JU mHnHu jU CJOJQJ#0P/ =!"#8$8% i8@8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH X@X Heading 1$7$8$@&H$a$5B* CJ,OJQJ\aJ,phb@b Heading 27$8$@&H$^`5B*CJ OJQJ\aJ phb@b Heading 3I7$8$@&H$^I`5B*CJOJQJ\aJphZ@Z Heading 4L7$8$@&H$^`L5B*OJQJ\phb@b Heading 5L7$8$@&H$^`L5B*CJOJQJ\aJph<A@< Default Paragraph Font,@, Header  !, @, Footer  !&)@& Page Number, 62eD<l-.IW56Q_k'9GTafosy.w23R 1 2 V  6 7 8 I k @ `  o X x !<rF['] *+,Etu,v bp \&Al)-0000 0 0( 0ee(0e(0e( 0ee00 0( 0 0 0( 0( 000 0 0 0 000 0 .( 0II( 0II8 0H 08 08 000 0 6( 0QQ8 0_( 0QQ8 08 08 0( 0 Q00(0Q 0 6( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0( 0 0600 0 ( 0( 0 0( 0ww00 0( 0( 0( 000 03 03 0300 02  02 ( 0 0 0 0 08  08  08  08  08 ( 0@ @ ( 0@ @ ( 0@ @ ( 0@ @ ( 0@ @  08 0 0o  0o ( 0  0o ( 0X X 00 0 ( 0 ( 0!
