Evaluating a Company
Presenting a Company
Typical Mistakes
3. Choosing a Company The Student Investment Association is a value fund
Your pitch should be focused around why this company is undervalued
Look for companies that are trading with a low price/book ratio (P/B) and a low price/earnings ratio (P/E) relative to their peers
Choose a small- to mid-cap company
Market Capitalizations from $500 MM - $5 B
Less analyst coverage
The size effect
4. Choosing a Company Benjamin Graham
Investing with a Margin of Safety
Invest in a company whose stock price is trading at a significant discount to its intrinsic value
Look for unpopular or out-of-favor companies
Mr. Market
AAPL 52 wk range: $196.89 - $364.90 Shares Outstanding: 921.28 MM
$154.8 B
A low P/E and P/B ratio does not ALWAYS mean the company is undervalued
Look for companies that have a high Return on Invested Capital
5. Evaluating a Company
6. Evaluating a Company Assess the companys strategy
What is their competitive advantage
Low cost leaders, differentiation
What is their plan for the future
Is the company sustainable, why
What risk and success factors they must manage
Analyze the companys profitability and risk
Use financial ratios and compare them over time and against competitors and the industry
Use any industry specific measures
Same store sales, FFO, EBITDAR
7. Evaluating a Company Analyzing a companys profitability and risk contd
Has the companys margins increase, decreased or maintain
What is the companys ROA and ROE
Is the ROE greater than the cost of equity
What does their short-term liquidity look like
Current/quick ratios, Days in Inventory, Days A/R outstanding, Days A/P outstanding
What does their long-term liquidity look like
Debt to Equity ratio, Interest Coverage ratio
Compare these factors for the company over the past several year and currently against its competitors
8. Evaluating a Company Forecasting future performance
The information gather in prior steps
Management guidance
Use analyst reports to get ideas about how others think about the company.
Dont use them as your own work
Valuation
SIA provides a sample Discounted Cash Flow model on the website
Use that to input historical data and your forecasted projections to value the company
Take a step back and think does this make sense?
9. Discounted Cash Flow The value of any resource is the present value (PV) of the future payouts discounted at a rate reflective of the risk of the payouts
Then to value the company, we project the future free cash flows to equity and discount them to present value.
Its hard to project the free cash flows reliably after 5 years
Use the terminal value method to capture the present value of the free cash flows into perpetuity
Use the cost of equity as the discount rate because we are looking at the FCF to equity
The cost of equity is calculated using CAPM
10. Discounted Cash Flow We project firm growth through revenue and the rest of the components in the DCF model are percentages of revenue.
The terminal value is a large part of the companys value be conservative with estimate
The long-term growth rate shouldnt grow faster than GDP
When using CAPM it is better to use historical averages rather current values.
Historical average risk-free rate: 6%
Historical average market risk premium: 5.6%
Be able to logically back each of your projections
11. Presenting a Company Build your presentation around selling the 3 main reason, your investment thesis, we should invest in this company
Try to boil down the information to relevant facts surrounding your company
Present both the 3 main reason and 3 biggest risks to the company
Try to anticipate possible questions surround your investment and risks reasons and cover them in the presentation
12. Presenting a Company Investment overview (1 slide)
Have your recommendation and 3 main reasons to invest
Company overview
Briefly cover how this company makes money
Industry overview
Cover key industry information relevant to your investment thesis
What is the issue surrounding the company
Why is the company trading at these low multiples
Why is the company undervalued
Why is the market wrong
13. Presenting a Company What is going to make you investment thesis come true
Why should we invest in this company
What are risks to your investment thesis
Why might the company no be undervalued
Your valuation
Briefly walk us through your projections and your thought process behind choosing these projections
14. Typical Mistakes Presenting an overview of the company instead of focusing on the relevant facts regarding why we should invest
Knowing who a companys management is and what is the revenue break down is important, but shouldnt be presented unless it affects your investment thesis
Making a decision about a company before evaluating it
Dont base the facts around your decision, base your decision around the facts.
As you evaluate the company, if information doesnt look like you expected then change your decision or company.
15. Typical Mistakes Just because its in the news doesnt mean it is relevant
Unless the news story affects your investment thesis, it shouldnt be included
Not explaining what key terms are
If you werent comfortable using the term before you research the company then it probably should be explained
Forgetting about the efficient market hypothesis
The reason for buying or selling a stock shouldnt be based on an event
The reason should be based on the markets under or over reaction to it
