Recent Earnings and Dividends * Estimates from finance.yahoo.com
Hudson City DCF Model Used average expenses percentage over past 3 years Using 14.5% discount rate due to financials cyclical nature Assuming no change in number of shares outstanding Terminal Growth Rate of 4% Assuming constant margins and tax rates based on historic figures
Valuation and Price Targets • DCF approximately $22 with 123% upside • Terminal Discount Rate of 14.5% • Terminal FCF Rate of 4.0% • Ratio Analysis • Gave us price target between $9 and $23 depending ratio • P/B was $21.53 • Our price target is $18.00 (77% upside)
Reasons to dump GS • 2 students dropped this class after being assigned GS • ROE (ttm) 4.3% • Sales growth predicted to drop 21% in the next quarter and 19% in 3Q09* • Took $10 billion in TARP funds and now has to dance to the Gov’t tune • In order to repay has to raise the money in a government approved equity offering of similar amount • Price Target of 97.00 • Berkshire Hathaway has a $5 billion investment * finance.yahoo.com
Recommendations • Sell entire GS position (~400bps) • Purchase 340 bps of HCBK • Consensus growth rate higher than S&P 500 • Undervalued compared to financials and itself • No exposure to Real Estate • Sell off 68 bps of BRKA and 22 of WFC • Should bring us to underweighting of 263 bps
Not Selling all of WFC… • DCF still gives about 25% upside with more conservative estimates than other analysts • Ratio valuation gives target in high teens/low twenties • EPS of about 28 cents in first quarter expected • Still have dividend • Lowest weight in ratio
