CHAPTER 17 Macroeconomic and Industry Analysis
Framework of Analysis • Fundamental Analysis • Approach to Fundamental Analysis • Domestic and global economic analysis • Industry analysis • Company analysis • Why use the top-down approach
Global Economic Considerations • Performance in countries and regions is highly variable • Political risk • Exchange rate risk
Table 17.1 Economic Performance in Selected Emerging Markets
Performance in countries • Considerable variation in performance across countries • expanding economies: more chance to succeed • contracting economies: less chance to succeed • Based on these performance, form expectation for your investment • economies growing • economies slowing down
Political riskConsider 2 investors: A, an American wishing to invest in Indonesian stocks and an Indonesian wishing to invest in U.S. stocksWhich one would face a more difficult task when doing macroeconomic analysis?
Figure 17.1 Change in Real Exchange Rate: U.S. Dollar versus Major Currencies, 1999–2006 US investors: 2009: invest $1000 in Japan, exchange rate 1USD = 100 Yen, $1000 is worth 100,000 YenIn 2010: 1 USD = 110 Yen, 100,000 Yen = 909 USDLose $91
Domestic Economy • Gross domestic product • Market value of goods and services produced over a period of time • Unemployment rates • The ratio of number of people classified as unemployed to the total labor force • Interest rates & inflation • inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices is rising. • High inflation is associated with overheated economy • Trade-off between inflation and unemployment • Budget Deficits • Government spending > government revenue • Consumer sentiment • consumers’ optimism and pessimism about the economy
Interest rate4 Factors that can influence interest rates(1) Supply of fund (savers)(2) Demand of fund (borrowers)(3) Government net supply/fund(4) Expected inflation
Demand and Supply Shocks • Demand shock - an event that affects demand for goods and services in the economy • Tax rate cut • Increases in government spending • Supply shock - an event that influences production capacity or production costs • Commodity price changes • Educational level of economic participants
Federal Government Policy • Fiscal Policy - government spending and taxing actions • Increase spending: increase demand • tax increase: reduce demand • Net impact: • budget deficit • budget surplus
Federal Government Policy (cont.) • Monetary Policy - manipulation of the money supply to influence economic activity • Tools of monetary policy • Open market operations • Discount rate • Reserve requirements • If government wants to tighten money supply, what should it do?
Business Cycles • Business Cycle • Peak • Trough • Industry relationship to business cycles • Cyclical • above average sensitivity to states of economy • Defensive • below sensitivity to states of economy
Business Cycles (examples) • At trough, right before recovery, one would expect cyclical industries to outperform others • (economy increases (decreases) by 1%, the industry increases (decreases) by > 1%) • Example: durable goods: auto, washing machine, financial industries • Cyclical firms: betas > 1 or < 1, high or low betas? • Economy enters recession: • cyclical or defensive • example: food, public utilities, pharmaceutical • Low or high betas? • performance is stable, unaffected by market conditions
Leading indicators tend to rise and fall in advance of the economy Examples: Avg. weekly hours of production workers Stock Prices Leading Indicators
Coincident Indicators - indicators that tend to change directly with the economy Examples: Industrial production Manufacturing and trade sales Coincident Indicators
Lagging Indicators - indicators that tend to follow the lag economic performance Examples: Ratio of trade inventories to sales Ratio of consumer installment credit outstanding to personal income unemployment Lagging Indicators
Figure 17.4 Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators
Defining an Industry • North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS codes • Codes assigned to group firms for statistical analysis
Figure 17.7 Industry Stock Price Performance as Measured by Rate of Return on Dow Jones Sector iShares, January-October 2007
Industry Analysis • Sensitivity to business cycles • Sector Rotation • Industry life cycles
Sensitivity to Business Cycle • Factors affecting sensitivity of earnings to business cycles • Sensitivity of sales of the firm’s product to the business cycles • Operating leverage • Financial leverage
Operating leverage • Operating leverage = fixed cost / variable cost • If operating leverage is high • fixed cost dominates variable cost • When economy changes, cost do not move enough to offset change in sale • economy goes down, sale decreases, variable cost also decreases, but is dominated by fixed cost, total cost is quite stable, therefore, earning goes down more than the economy • Sale increases, variable cost increases, but still dominated by fixed cost, total cost is quite stable, earning goes up more than economy • Earning is very sensitive to economy • If operating leverage is low: variable cost >> fixed cost • sale goes down, total cost goes down • sale goes up, total cost goes up • earning is stable
Table 17.6 Operating Leverage of Firms A and B Throughout the Business Cycle
Financial leverage • Use of borrowing • Similar to fixed cost • High financial leverage, earning is more sensitive to economy • Low financial leverage, earning is more stable
Sector Rotation Portfolio is adjusted by selecting companies that should perform well for the stage of the business cycle Peaks – natural resource extraction firms Contraction – defensive industries such as pharmaceuticals and food Trough – capital goods industries Expansion – cyclical industries such as consumer durables
Industry Life Cycles StageSales Growth Start-up Rapid & Increasing Consolidation Stable Maturity Slowing Relative Decline Minimal or Negative
Industry Life Cycle • Example: VCR • Start-up: new, so sale and earnings go up rapidly • Consolidation stage: • product is established, more firms enter, growth rate is stable, and higher than economy • Maturity stage • product reach full potential use by consumers • market is very competitive • pay more dividends • less on reinvestment • Relative decline • new better products come in, e.g., DVD • Substitute for old products
CHAPTER 19 FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Financial Statement Analysis • Objectives: • Use a firm’s income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows to calculate standard financial ratios. • Calculate the impact of taxes and leverage on a firm’s return on equity using ratio decomposition analysis. • Measure a firm’s operating efficiency • Identify likely sources of biases in accounting data.
Balance Sheet Common Sized Trend or Indexed Income Statement Common Sized Trend or Indexed Statement of Cash Flows Financial Statements
Income Statement • Firm’s revenues and expenses during a specific period • Typical format Sale - Operating expense COGS Depreciation Operating Income (EBIT) - Interest Earning before tax (EBT) - Tax Net Income (NI)
Table 19.1 Consolidated Statement of Income for Hewlett-Packard, 2006
Balance Sheet • A snapshot of firm’s assets and liability at a given point in time Asset Liabilities + Equity 1. Current Asset 1. Current liabilities Cash Short term debt Account receivable Account payable Inventory Note payable 2. Fixed asset 2. Long-term debt 3. Equity Common stock Retained earning Total assets Total liabilities + equity
Table 19.2 Consolidated Balance Sheet for Hewlett-Packard, 2006
Statement of cash flow • Net income: accounting profit • Cash flow: cash available on hand • Statement of cash flow: firm’s cash receipts and payments during a specific period
