  4. Three Pillars of Fin 2 • Technical proficiency • Ability to correctly apply finance tools, formulas, concepts, e.g., • What is Free Cash Flow? • What is CAPM rate of return given Rf, Beta, MRP? • Review problems, quizzes • Technical judgment • Ability to decide on inputs or ranges for technical analysis, e.g., • What is a reasonable LT growth rate? • What how did MRP change during financial crisis? • Needs supporting reasons and evidence • Managerial judgment • Ability to decide what a manager should do, e.g., • High cost financing from Warren Buffett? (Fin 2, Day 1) • Hostile tender offer for Genentech, at what price? (Fin 2, Day 27) • No right answer, careful reasoning, weighing of pros and cons

  13. Technical Judgment Make and support reasoned technical assumptions when faced with an ambiguous environment

  14. Technical Judgment—Law of One Price • Modigliani-Miller capital structure irrelevance • M-M dividend irrelevance • Replication of option payoffs via dynamically updated portfolio • Covered interest parity When must these LOOP relationships hold true?

  15. When do the LOOP relationships hold? • In a “perfect” market • No taxes • No transaction costs • No asymmetric information • In imperfect markets, get deviations from LOOP  arbitrage opportunities for traders • As long as LOOP is eventually restored

  16. Technical Judgment—Valuation • Selection of comparable companies • Selection of future operating ratios • Revenue growth, cost, asset efficiency • Tax rates • Tax payer or not? (MCI) • Tax holiday (Geita mine in Ashanti)

  17. Technical Judgment—Negotiation • Reservation prices • Can be based on public information • May change based on confidential, i.e. asymmetric information • ZOPA “Zone of positive agreement” • Range of values (or exchange ratios) between the buyer’s and seller’s reservation prices • Deals should fall within the ZOPA unless one or the other side (or both) receives new information

  18. Technical Judgment—Market Responses/Announcement Effects • New information causes a reassessment of value • Market prices change as a result • Announcement effects are large for • New issues of equity (signals) • Mergers (synergies) • Anything reflecting on creditworthiness • Market is always second-guessing managers… get used to it!

How? (Cost savings, cross-selling, market power) • JPMC-Bear Stearns • BNY-Mellon • PepsiCo-Quaker • Wine Country combinations • Roche-Genentech • MCI with Verizon or Qwest

  23. Managerial Judgment—Risk Management • What risks should I insure (pay to avoid) • Systematic to me, unsystematic to others, eg, rainfall in India • What risks should I hedge (via derivatives) • Can be cheaper than purchasing insurance • Introduces new risks, ie, basis risk and margin calls • What controls should I place on my traders/risk managers? • OSG currency hedging policy • Ashanti hedgebook became a profit center and then blew up

  24. Managerial Judgment—Negotiations • In a two-way negotiation, what is my bargaining power? • Which end of the ZOPA should I aim for? • BNY vs. Mellon –will BNY really walk from the deal? • PepsiCo Round 1 vs. Round 2 • Roche-Genentech pre and post tender offer • What tactics will I use? • Headline vs. intrinsic value? • First vs. final offer? • Can I use price protection (floors, caps, collars) to make the deal more attractive to my counterparty?
