C1.1.Fundamental risk arises from the inherent risk in the business


from sales revenue falling or expenses rising unexpectedly, for
example.

Price risk is the risk of prices deviating from fundamental value.
Prices

are subject to fundamental risk, but can move away from
fundamental

value, irrespective of outcomes in the fundamentals. When an
investor

buys a stock, she takes on fundamental risk – the stock price could
drop

because the firm’s operations don’t meet expectations – but she
also runs

C1.3.This statement is based on a statistical average from the
historical

data: The return on stocks in the U.S. and many other countries
during

the twentieth century was higher than that for bonds, even though
there

were periods when bonds performed better than stocks. So, the
argument

goes, if one holds stocks long enough, one earns the higher return.

However, it is dangerous making predictions from historical
averages

when risky investment is involved. Averages from the past are not

guaranteed in the future. After all, the equity premium is a reward
for

risk, and risk means that the investor can get hit (with no guarantee

bonds getting a higher return). The investor who holds stocks (for

The historical average return for equities is based on buying
stocks

at different times, and averages out “buying high” and “buying low”

(and selling high and selling low). An investor who buys when
prices are

high (or is forced to sell when prices are low) may not receive the

typical average return. Consider investors who purchased shares

The active investor investigates whether the investment is

in

excess of the normal return. See Box 1.1.

C1.5.This is not an easy question at this stage. It will be answered
in full

as the book proceeds. But one way to think about it is as
follows: If

an investor expects to earn 10% on her investment in a stock,
then

earnings/price should be 10% and price/earnings should be 10.
Any

return above this would be considered “high” and any return
below

it “low.” So a P/E of 33 (an E/P yield of 3.03%) would be

considered high and a P/E of 8 (an E/P yield of 12.5%) would
be

considered low. But we would have to also consider how
accounting

rules measure earnings: If accounting measures result in lower

earnings (through high depreciation charges or the expensing
of

research and development expenditure, for example) then a
normal

P/E ratio might be higher than 10. And one also has to consider

growth: If earnings are expected to be higher in the future than

current earnings, the E/P ratio should be lower than this 10%

benchmark (and the corresponding
5 P/E higher). In early 2012,

the

S&P 500 P/E ratio stood at 14.4.

C1.6.The firm has to repurchase the stock at the market price, so
the

shareholder will get the same price from the firm as from
another

investor. But one should be wary of trading with insiders (the

management) who might have more information about the
firm’s

prospects than outsiders (and might make stock repurchases
when

they consider the stock to be underpriced). Some argue that

repurchases are indicative of good prospects for the firm that

Drill Exercises

E1.1.Calculating Enterprise Value

This exercise tests the understanding of the basic value
relation:

Enterprise Value = Value of Debt + Value of Equity

Enterprise Value = $600 + $1,200 million
= $1,800 million

(Enterprise value is also referred to as the value of the firm,
and

sometimes as the value of the operations.)

E1.2.Calculating Value Per Share
Rearranging the value
relations,
Equity Value = Enterprise Value – Value of
Debt

Equity Value = $2,700 - $900 million
= $1,800

Value per share on 900 million shares = $1,800/900 =
$2.00

E1.3 Buy or Sell?

Value = $850 + $675

Value per share = $1,525/25 =
$61
Market price = $45

Therefore, BUY!
