Beta of Stock
- Measure of stock price volatility over a period of time
o Beta = 1: exact same risk as the market average
Example is ETF on TSX 300 (Exchange trade fund)
o Beta > 1: Risker than market average
Example is small mining company
o Beta < 1: less risk than market average
Example is Canadian Bank
o Time period how long are you using to measure beta
Example: Beta of apple is 1.1 for last 3 years
o Best beta will be the longest term that reflects the company’s current operations
Correlation
- How the prices of two stocks move compared to each other
o +1 – perfectly positively correlated (Price of two stocks move the same)
Example: Royal Bank (TSX & NYSE)
o -1 – perfectly negatively correlated (Moves opposite of each other)
Example: Buy Royal Bank or Short Royal Bank
o 0 – no correlation (Move independently)
Example: Different industry and geography
Systematic vs unsystematic
- Unsystematic risk – risk associated with a specific stock
- Systematic risk – Risk of the market
o The goal: Stocks with low correlation
DDM
- Value for stock is based on the dividends that it pays
o No growth in dividends
P0 = Dividend/ R
P0 – Price of stock today
Dividend – Annual dividend paid
R – Expected return on stock
o Constant Growth
Annual growth of dividend at the same rate forever
P0 = Div (1) / R – G
P0 – Price of stock today
Div (1) – Dividend per share in 1 year from today
D1 = D0 * (1 + G)
R – Expected return on stock
G – Annual growth rate of dividend (constant rate)
o Pros and Cons
Pros – Easy, Based on cash flow (Dividend)
Cons – Doesn’t work unless government pays dividends, Growth is not
constant in real life, growth of dividend cannot be greater than R
Multiples
- Value of stock is related to the value of the stock for competitors in the same industry
o Example: How a real estate agent values your house
Based on actual transaction
- Price to sales
- Price to EBITDA Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Pre-
tax cash flows)
- Price to net income Price earnings ratio
o PE Multiple
o PE Multiple of 15x
If income is $1 million, then the value of the company = 15 * $1 million =
15 million
- Rough range is 10x to 30x
Example
- Your company has $100 million in sales. The EBITOA is $10 million and net income
is $6 million. What is the value of your company if competitors in your industry
trade at the following multiples:
o Price to sales = 1x
o Price to EBITDA = 6x
o Price Earnings = 12x
- Values using price & sales = $100 million * 1
- Value using EBITDA = $100 million * 6
- Value using Earnings = $6 million * 12
o Conclusion: Range of values = $60 million to $100 million
o Average of multiples = $77.3 million
