B/S Multiples • Book value of equity is low because of share buy backs. • The market values Lockheed’s assets well beyond their book value. • These multiples are not a good indicator of the firms value.
Exhibit 3.9 – Estimating Value US Government Contracts Multiple
I/S Multiples • More accurately predict Lockheed’s market price. • This is a contract based industry • Lockheed has the largest market share • Government Contracts are the best Indicator for Lockheed. • Backlog $84 billion • EPAT and NI are less useful • Analysts predict greater NI and CI in the future • Cutting Costs • Higher Sales
Sell/Hold Recommendation • Most multiple valuations suggest Lockheed is highly overvalued. • However, if Lockheed leads this industry and have a strong grasp on the needs of the US Military and its allies they will likely remain profitable into the foreseeable future. • Therefore, more advanced models will take this into account and more appropriately value Lockheed at its current market price.
