Notes - An Introduction To Financ, Accouting, Modeling, and Valuation
Example:
Cashflow analysis
Retained earnings (Bs) = net income (Is) unless dividends are payedout
Change in cash from year 1 – 2 (Bs) = total cash flow (Cs)
Financial modeling
Investor relations
companies’ website where we can find a lot of information about the company
find it by typing <company> investor relations on google
earnings releases
conferences
quarterly numbers
Bs, Is, Cs
Sec.gov
10-Q = quarterly reports
10-K = annual reports
8-K = important press releases
S-1 = IPO prospectus
3, 4, 5 and 13-D = who owns shares
Yahoo finance
A lot of information
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow – capex. (note: this will make the FCF less)
But what about future earnings that are not forecasted? We use the terminal value for this.
For this we need the interest rate, for example 7%. And the long term growth rate which we
can assume is 2%.
Terminal value formula = final year FCF * (1 + long term growth rate) / (interest rate – long
term growth rate)
This value has to be discounted to today. Because we used final FCF, it goes back from that
date to today.
Before we assumed that the interest rate was 7%. Now we will calculate that. This is called
weighted average cost of capital (W.A.C.C.).
Cost to use equity = risk free rate + how volatile the stock is (beta) * (what we think the stock
market will do – 2,5%)
Damn easy…
Price to earning
A company usually trades on a P/E basis in line with its earnings growth rate. For example, a
company that has earnings growing at 20% per year likely trades at 20x’s earnings.
The stock market usually trades around 15x as the average earnings grow 15%
PEG ratio measures P/E relative to its growth rate. PEG below 1 are cheap and PEG above 2
is expensive.
profit
- How profitable is a company for every dollar they sell of inventory before expenses?
Cost of goods sold / revenue = gross margin
- How profitable is a company for every dollar they sell of inventory after most
expenses?
EBITDA / revenue = operating margin
- How profitable is a company for every dollar they sell of inventory after all expenses?
Net income / revenue = net profit margin
- How profitable is a company for every dollar they have of assets?
Net income / assets = return assets
- How profitable is a company for every dollar they have of equity?
Net income / equity = return on equity
