Cons for investing in Israel • Instability • Continuous conflict in the Middle East (Israel - Palestine/Much of the Middle East, US - Iraq) • Global Recession • Current global economic situation is viewed by many as a “slump” • Decline in tourism • A vital revenue source for the country
Business and Politics • During the decade preceding 2000 moderate peace was maintained and communications between countries continued in hope of forming a new Middle East. Peace in the Middle East made high growth and margin companies like TEVA extremely attractive. From the years 1991 to 1998, when the peace process appeared to be making strides, Teva’s stock price rose as it increased its drug pipeline, M&A opportunities and released Copaxone internationally. Teva has managed to avoid any major interruption to its business, despite the terrorism and turmoil in and around Israel. Nonetheless, escalating conflicts in the Middle East have made more risk averse investors shy away from the stock as war is eminent and there appears to be no end to the on going violence. • In order to statistically determine if Teva is affected by political events a regression analysis was done.
The Regression Model • Our final regression model is one that uses the political rank as a dummy variable, P/E, P/S and Growth to predict the stock price. The model explains 53.9% of the variation in the stock price. The final regression equation is: Price Close = 10.2 + 0.34 Neg5 + 1.63 Neg4 + 0.84 Neg3 + 0.07 Neg2 + 1.69 Neg1 + 1.90 Pos1 - 0.03 Pos2 - 0.17 Pos3 + 0.26 Pos4 - 0.04 Pos5 + 0.181 PE + 2.07 Growth - 0.76 P/S + 209 Net Margin - 43.2 Beta • A best-subset test was utilized to prove this was the most efficient model that could be used with the highest correlation.
Variables • Event Date: Date upon which event in question occurred • Event Rank: Events are given a rank ranging from -5 to 5. Negative ranks represent negative political events, the greater than rank the more serious the political crisis. Positive ranks represent positive political events. • -5: Political official or significant member of peace process is assassinated/wounded. • -4: Troops invade, attack or occupy foreign territory or political figure resigns. • -3: Terrorist Attack injures civilians or declared end of peace talks. • -2: Riots break out in protest. Political Leaders reputation is smeared. • -1: Rejection of an interim peace agreement/supplement or pause of peace talks • 0: Normal Political day for Israeli Citizens: no significant events occur. • 1: Elections occur or a meeting between officials is planned. • 2: A Cease fire occurs or is planned. • 3: A meet between officials occurs. • 4: Troops are removed from occupied areas or land turned over to Palestinians. • 5: Interim peace agreements or supplements are signed or agreed upon. • PE: PE ratio for the quarter in which the event occurred • Growth: Growth rate for the quarter in which the event occurred. • P/S: Price to sales ratio for the quarter in which the event occurred. • Net margin: Net Margin for the quarter in which the event occurred. • Predicted Price: Price predicted by the model given the about input multiples. • Price Close Prior Day: Stock closing price on the day prior to the event in question. • Price Close: Stock closing price on the day of the event in question. • Percentage Change: Percentage change in price from the prior day to the day in questions closing price. • Description: Description of the event in question.

Political Conclusion • Israeli companies that react in correlation with political events should have negative beta-hats for negatively viewed events and positive beta-hats for positively viewed events. Teva, however, has successfully created an organization that has been successful in beating both the NASDAQ and S&P 500 over the past two years, as well as limiting its exposure to political risk. Teva, S%P 500 and NASDAQ 1998 - 2003 • The regression equation shows that Teva’s stock price is negatively correlated with political events. An event deemed a -2 on a -5 to 5 scale was the only negative event, on average to reduce the stocks price (-22.1 cents). In addition, positive events, which are likely to increase the stock price, on average were in some instances associated with a decrease in stock price ( +2 and +3 events). One can therefore conclude that though political events must have some effect on the company and the mindset of investors, the company has proven its ability to withstand even the worst of events. Investors should view Teva as an undervalued stock that is capable of high returns with limited political risk.
Relative Valuation • Our Sample • From this group only companies that were significantly comparable, given their focus, growth rate, cash flows and risk were included as initial basis points. In order to control for large difference within the sample, two outliers were removed: Bradley Pharmaceuticals (BPRX) and First Horizon Pharmaceuti (FHRX), leaving 32 basis points • The Multiples: • Peg, P/S, Net Margin • Assumptions: • Both the value and the standardizing variable represent the equity claimholders of the firm • The multiples used were uniformly estimated: accounting principles to measure earnings multiples are consistent across all firms in the sample. • All simple relative valuations will utilize the median rather than the mean, as it is often a more reliable comparison point.
PEG Analysis • For an investor looking for a simple relative valuation PEG can be used, however with some caveats: • High risk companies will often trade at much lower PEG ratios than low risk firms with the same expected growth rate. This often leads to companies appearing cheaper than the rest of the sample, however, they may be the riskiest firm in the group. • Companies that attain growth by investing less in lower retention ratios will have higher PEG ratios than companies growing at the same rate. This often leads to companies looking cheap on a Peg basis, however they may have high reinvestment rate and poor return on equity. • Companies with very low or very high growth rates will tend to have higher PEG ratios than firms with average growth rates. As an example, Teva is in the upper third of the sample with a high growth rate of 20%. • Though the data is easy to gather and analyze, dividing PE by expected growth does not neutralize the effects of expected growth because the relationship between growth and value is not linear and fairly complex.
Simple Relative P/S Valuation Conclusions: Fundamentally investors should look for stocks that have low Price to sales multiples with high net margins. By analyzing the simple valuation result we see that Teva has a price to sales multiple slightly higher than the median and a net margin slightly below the median. We can therefore conclude that Teva is neither an extremely attractive or unattractive investment.
Price to Sales and Net Margin Regression Regression Predicted Price: Given a regression equation of: y = 20.009x + 0.6615 And Price to Sales Multiple of : 3.4 Predicted Price = 20.009*3.4+.6615 = $68.69 By analyzing Teva’s current price fluctuations we can conclude that Teva is under-valued. Our recommendation, considering Teva’s ability to maintain economic stability and consistently beat the market is a strong buy.
