Cutting Dividends for Profitable Growth
Problem
Crane sporting goods expect to have earnings per share of $6 in
the coming year. Rather than reinvest these earnings and grow,
the firm plans to pay out all of its earnings as a dividend. With
these expectations of no growth, Crane’s current share price is
$60.
Suppose crane could cut its dividend payout rate to 75% for the
foreseeable future and use the retained earnings to open new
stores. The return on its investment in these stores is expected to
be 12%. Assuming its equity cost of capital is unchanged, what
effect would this new policy have on Crane’s stock price?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 28
Textbook Example 9.3 (2 of 3)
Solution
First, let’s estimate Crane’s equity cost of capital. Currently, Crane plans to pay
a dividend equal to its earnings of $6 per share. Given a share price of $60,
Crane’s dividend yield is $6 =10%. With no expected growth (g = 0),
$60
Div1 $4.50
P0 $64.29
rE g 0.10 0.03
Thus, Crane’s share price should rise from $60 to $64.29 if it cuts
its dividend to invest in projects that offer a return (12%) greater
than their cost of capital (which we assume remains 10%). These
projects are positive NPV, and so by taking them Crane has
created value for its shareholders.

Textbook Example 9.4 (1 of 2)
Unprofitable Growth
Problem
Suppose Crane Sporting Goods decides to cut its dividend
payout rate to 75% to invest in new stores, as in Example
9.3 but now suppose that the return on these new
investments is 8%, rather than 12%. Given its excepted
earnings per share this year of $6 and its equity cost of
capital of 10%, what will happen to Crane’s current share
price in this case?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 31
Textbook Example 9.4 (2 of 2)
Solution
Just as in Example 9.3, Crane’s dividend will fall to $6 × 75%
= $4.50. Its growth rate under the new policy, given the lower
return on new investment, will now be g = 25% × 8% = 2%.
The new share price is there fore
Div1 $4.50
P0 $56.25
rE g 0.10 0.02
Thus, even though Crane will grow under the new policy, the
new investments have negative NPV. Crane’s share price
will fall if it cuts its dividend to make new investments with a
return of only 8% when its investors can earn 10% on other
investments with comparable risk.

Changing Growth Rates (1 of 3)
• We cannot use the constant dividend growth model to
value a stock if the growth rate is not constant
– For example, young firms often have very high initial
earnings growth rates
– During this period of high growth, these firms often
retain 100% of their earnings to exploit profitable
investment opportunities
– As they mature, their growth slows
– At some point, their earnings exceed their investment
needs, and they begin to pay dividends

Changing Growth Rates (2 of 3)
• Although we cannot use the constant dividend growth
model directly when growth is not constant, we can use the
general form of the model to value a firm by applying the
constant growth model to calculate the future share price
of the stock once the expected growth rate stabilizes

Valuing a Firm with Two Different Growth Rates
• Problem
– Small Fry, Inc., has just invented a potato chip that looks
and tastes like a french fry. Given the phenomenal market
response to this product, Small Fry is reinvesting all of its
earnings to expand its operations. Earnings were $2 per
share this past year and are expected to grow at a rate of
20% per year until the end of year 4. At that point, other
companies are likely to bring out competing products.
Analysts project that at the end of year 4, Small Fry will cut
investment and begin paying 60% of its earnings as
dividends and its growth will slow to a long-run rate of 4%. If
Small Fry’s equity cost of capital is 8%, what is the value of
a share today?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 36
Textbook Example 9.5 (2 of 3)
Solution
We can use Small Fry’s projected earnings growth rate and payout rate
to forecast its future earnings and dividends as shown in the following
spreadsheet:
Starting from $2.00 in year 0, EPS grows by 20% per year until year 4,
after which growth slows to 4%. Small Fry’s dividend payout rate is zero
until year 4, when competition reduces its investment opportunities and
its payout rate rises to 60%. Multiplying EPS by the dividend payout ratio,
we project Small Fry’s future dividends in line 4.
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 37
Textbook Example 9.5 (3 of 3)
From year 4 onward, Small Fry’s dividends will grow at the
expected long-run rate of 4% per year. Thus, we can use the
constant dividend growth model to project Small Fry’s share price
at the end of year 3. Given its equity cost of capital of 8%,

9.3 Total Payout and Free Cash Flow
Valuation Models (1 of 3)
• Share Repurchases and the Total Payout Model
– Share Repurchase
When the firm uses excess cash to buy back its own
stock
– Implications for the Dividend-Discount Model
The more cash the firm uses to repurchase shares,
the less it has available to pay dividends
By repurchasing, the firm decreases the number of
shares outstanding, which increases its earnings
and dividends per share

Textbook Example 9.6 (2 of 3)
Solution
Titan will have total payouts this year of 50% × $860 million =
$430 million. Based on the equity cost of capital of 10% and an
expected earnings growth rate of 7.5%, the present value of
Titan’s future payouts can be computed as a constant growth
perpetuity:
$430 million
Pv (Future Total Dividends and Repurchases) $17.2 billion
0.10 0.075
This present value represents the total value of Titan’s equity (i.e.,
its market capitalization). To compute the share price, we divide by
the current number of shares outstanding:
$17.2 billion
P0 $79.26 per share
217 million shares
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 45
Textbook Example 9.6 (3 of 3)
Using the total payout method, we did not need to know the firm’s
split between dividends and share repurchases. To compare this
method with the dividend-discount model, note that Titan will pay a
dividend of
30%×$860 million
$1.19 per share,
(217 million shares)
1.19
for a dividend yield of 1.50%. From Eq. 9.7, Titan’s expected
79.26
Div1
EPS, dividend, and share price growth rate is g rE = 8.50%.
P0
These “per share” growth rates exceed the 7.5% growth rate of
total earnings because Titan’s share count will decline over time
due to share repurchases.

Valuing Kenneth Cole Using Free Cash Flow
Problem
– Kenneth Cole (KCP) had sales of $518 million in 2005. Suppose you
expect its sales to grow at a 9% rate in 2006, but that this growth rate will
slow by 1% per year to a long –run growth rate for the apparel industry of
4% by 2011. Based on KCP’s past profitability and investment needs, you
expect EBITto be 9% of sales, increases in net working capital
requirements to be 10% of any increase in sales, and net investment
(capital expenditures in excess of depreciation) to be 8% of any increase
in sales. If KCPhas $100 million in cash, $3 million in debt, 21 million
shares outstanding, a tax rate of 37%, and a weighted average cost of
capital of 11%, what is your estimate of the value of KCP’s stock in early
2006?

In example 9.7, KCP’s revenue growth rate was assumed to
be 9% in 2006, slowing to a long term growth rate of 4%.
How would your estimate of the stock’s value change if you
expected revenue growth of 4% from 2006 on? How would it
change if in addition you expected EBIT to be 7% of sales,
rather than 9%?
t0 t1 T2 …
V0 = ? FCF06 FCF06 (1 + g) … FCF06 (1 + g)( - 1)

Textbook Example 9.8 (2 of 3)
Solution
With 4% revenue growth and a 9% EBIT margin, K C P will have
2006 revenues of 518 × 1.04 = $538.7 million, and EBIT of
9%(538.7) = $48.5 million. Given the increase in sales of 538.7 −
518.0 = $20.7 million, we expect net investment of 8%(20.7) =
$1.7 million and additional net working capital of 10%(20.7) = $2.1
million. Thus, KCP’s expected FCF in 2006 is
Thus, comparing this result with that of Example 9.7, we see that a
higher initial revenue growth of 9% versus 4% contributes about $2 to the
value of KCP’s stock.
If, in addition, we expect KCP’s EBIT margin to be only 7%, our FCF
estimate would decline to
$20
for an enterprise value of V0 = = $286 million and a share
(0.11 0.04)
(286 +100 3)
value of P0 = = $18.24.
21
Thus, we can see that maintaining an EBIT margin of 9%versus 7%
contributes more than $4.50 to KCP’s stock value in this scenario.

9.4 Valuation Based on Comparable
Firms
• Method of Comparables (Comps)
– Estimate the value of the firm based on the value of
other, comparable firms or investments that we expect
will generate very similar cash flows in the future
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 60
Valuation Multiples (1 of 5)
• Valuation Multiple
– A ratio of firm’s value to some measure of the firm’s
scale or cash flow
• The Price-Earnings Ratio
– P/E Ratio
Share price divided by earnings per share
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 61
Valuation Multiples (2 of 5)
• Trailing Earnings
– Earnings over the last 12 months
• Trailing P/E
• Forward Earnings
– Expected earnings over the next 12 months
• Forward P/E

Note : P0
rE g
• If two stocks have the same payout and EPS growth rates,
as well as equivalent risk (rE), then they should have the
same P/E.
• Firms with high growth rates, and which generate cash
well in excess of their investment needs so that they can
maintain high payout rates, should have high P/E multiples

Textbook Example 9.9 (1 of 2)
Valuation Using the Price-Earnings Ratio
Problem
Suppose furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, Inc., has
earnings per share of $1.99. If the average P/E of
comparable furniture stocks is 24.6, estimate a value for
Herman Miller using the P/E as a valuation multiple. What
are the assumptions underlying this estimate?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 64
Textbook Example 9.9 (2 of 2)
Solution
We estimate a share price for Herman Miller by multiplying
its EPS by the P/E of comparable firms. Thus, P0 = $1.99 ×
24.6 = $48.95. This estimate assumes that Herman Miller
will have similar future risk, payout rates, and growth rates to
comparable firms in the industry.

Valuation Multiples (4 of 5)
• Enterprise Value Multiples

Textbook Example 9.10 (1 of 2)
Valuation Using an Enterprise Value Multiple
Problem
Suppose Rocky Shoes and Boots (RCKY) has earnings per
share of $2.30 and EBITDAof $30.7 million. RCKY also has
5.4 million shares outstanding and debt of $125 million (net
of cash). You believe Deckers Outdoor Corporation is
comparable to RCKY in terms of its underlying business, but
Deckers has little debt. If Deckers has a P/E of 13.3 and an
enterprise value to EBITDAmultiple of 7.4, estimate the
value of RCKY’s shares using both multiples. Which
estimate is likely to be more accurate?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 67
Textbook Example 9.10 (2 of 2)
Solution
Using Decker’s P/E, we would estimate a share price for
RCKY of P0 = $2.30 × 13.3 = $30.59. Using the enterprise
value to EBITDAmultiple, we would estimate RCKY’s
enterprise value to be V0 = $30.7 million × 7.4 = $227.2
million. We then subtract debt and divide by the number
of shares to estimate RCKY’s share price:
(227.2 125)
P0 $18.93.
5.4
Because of the large difference in leverage between the
firms, we would expect the second estimate, which is based
on enterprise value, to be more reliable.

Limitations of Multiples
• When valuing a firm using multiples, there is no clear
guidance about how to adjust for differences in expected
future growth rates, risk, or differences in accounting
policies
• Comparables only provide information regarding the value
of a firm relative to other firms in the comparison set
– Using multiples will not help us determine if an entire
industry is overvalued

Comparison with Discounted Cash
Flow Methods
• Discounted cash flows methods have the advantage that
they can incorporate specific information about the firm’s
cost of capital or future growth
– The discounted cash flow methods have the potential
to be more accurate than the use of a valuation
multiple

Stock Valuation Techniques: The Final
Word
• No single technique provides a final answer regarding a
stock’s true value
• All approaches require assumptions or forecasts that are
too uncertain to provide a definitive assessment of the
firm’s value
– Most real-world practitioners use a combination of
these approaches and gain confidence if the results
are consistent across a variety of methods

9.5 Information, Competition, and Stock
Prices (1 of 2)
• Information in Stock Prices
– Our valuation model links the firm’s future cash flows,
its cost of capital, and its share price
– Given accurate information about any two of these
variables, a valuation model allows us to make
inferences about the third variable

9.5 Information, Competition, and Stock
Prices (2 of 2)
• Information in Stock Prices
– For a publicly traded firm, its current stock price should
already provide very accurate information, aggregated
from a multitude of investors, regarding the true value
of its shares
Based on its current stock price, a valuation model
will tell us something about the firm’s future cash
flows or cost of capital

Using the Information in Market Prices
Problem
Suppose Tecnor Industries will pay a dividend this year of $5
per share. Its equity cost of capital is 10%, and you except
its dividends to grow at a rate of about 4% per year, though
you are somewhat unsure of the precise growth rate. If
Tecnor’s stock is currently tradings for $76.92 per share, how
would you update your beliefs about its dividend growth
rate?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 78
Textbook Example 9.11 (2 of 2)
Solution
If we apply the constant dividend growth model based on a 4% growth
rate, we would estimate a stock price of
5
P0 $83.33 per share. The market price of $76.92,
(0.10 0.04)
however, implies that most investors except dividends to grow at a
somewhat slower rate. If we continue to assume a constant growth rate,
we can solve for the growth rate consistent with the current market price
using Eq. 9.7:
Div1 5
g rE 10% 3.5%
P0 76.92
Thus, given this market price for the stock, we should lower our
expectations for the dividend growth rate unless we have very strong
reasons to trust our own estimate.

Stock Price Reactions to Public Information
Problem
Myox labs announces that due to potential side effects, it is
pulling one of its leading drugs from the market. As a result,
its future excepted free cash flow will decline by $85 million
per year for the next 10 years. Myox has 50 million shares
outstanding, no debt, and equity cost of capital of 8%. If this
news came as a complete surprise to investors, what should
happen to myox’s stock price upon the announcement?
Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 82
Textbook Example 9.12 (2 of 2)
Solution
In this case, we can use the discounted free cash flow method.
With no debt, rwacc = rE = 8%.Using the annuity formula, the decline
in expected free cash flow will reduce Myox’s enterprise value by
1 1
$85 million × 1 10
$570 million
0.08 1.08
$570
Thus, the share price should fall by $11.40 per share.
50
Because this news is public and its effect on the firm’s expected
free cash flow is clear, we would expect the stock price to drop by
this amount nearly instantaneously.

Stock Price Reactions to Private Information
Problem
Phenyx Pharmaceuticals has just announced the development of a new
drug for which the company is seeking approval from the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). If approved, the future profits from the new drug
will increase Phenyx’s market value by $750 million, or $15 per share
given its 50 million shares outstanding. If the development of this drug
was a surprise to investors, and if the average likelihood of FDAapproval
is 10%, what do you expect will happen to Phenyx’s stock price when
this news is announced? What may happen to the stock price over time?

Copyright © 2020, 2017, 2014, 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 86
Textbook Example 9.13 (2 of 2)
Solution
Because many investors are likely to know that the chance of FDA
approval is 10%, competition should lead to an immediate jump in the
stock price of 10% × $15 = $1.50 per share. Over time, however,
analysts and experts in the field are likely to do their own assessments of
the probable efficacy of the drug. If they conclude that the drug looks
more promising than average, they will begin to trade on their private
information and buy the stock, and the price will tend to drift higher over
time. If the experts conclude that the drug looks less promising than
average, they will tend to sell the stock, and its price will drift lower over
time. Examples of possible price paths are shown in Figure 9.4. While
these experts may be able to trade on their superior information and earn
a profit, for uninformed investors who do not know which outcome will
occur, the stock may rise or fall and so appears fairly priced at the
announcement.

Lessons for Investors and Corporate
Managers (1 of 2)
• Consequences for Investors
– If stocks are fairly priced, then investors who buy
stocks can expect to receive future cash flows that
fairly compensate them for the risk of their investment
In such cases, the average investor can invest with
confidence, even if he is not fully informed

Lessons for Investors and Corporate
Managers (2 of 2)
• Implications for Corporate Managers
– Focus on NPV and free cash flow
– Avoid accounting illusions
– Use financial transactions to support investment

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis
Versus No Arbitrage
• The efficient markets hypothesis states that securities with
equivalent risk should have the same expected return
• An arbitrage opportunity is a situation in which two
securities with identical cash flows have different prices
