Chapter 10 Bonds and Stocks: Characteristics and Valuations


CHAPTER PREVIEW A natural application of the time value of money principles is stock and bond valuation. Students are familiar with the financial markets from news reports. This chapter allows them to learn some of the influences on stock and bond values. We first review bond characteristics the !lobal nature of the bond market and show how to interpret the price "uotes found in many newspapers. The basics of e"uity securities are reviewed ne#t. The second half of the chapter discusses valuation principles for bonds stocks and risk. $t also discusses how to compute rates of return. LEARNING OBJECTIVES stocks. Identify the major sources of external long-term financing for corporations. Describe major characteristics of corporate bonds. Identify the reasons why investors seek stocks for an investment vehicle. Describe major characteristics of preferred stock and common stock. Describe the process for issuing dividends by a firm. Explain how financial securities are valued in general and specifically for bonds and

The bond contract between the issuer and investors is called the indenture and is overseen by a trustee. Covenants help protect investors. .irms usually pay to have the bonds rated by an outside a!ency to evaluate their credit risk.

Stock dividends are a way to make investors think they are receivin! somethin! of value when in reality they are not. Some practitioners believe there is an optimal ran!e for a stock price. 1rices that are Ctoo hi!hD will scare away investors because of the lar!e capital investment needed to purchase shares. 1rices that are Ctoo lowD make the stock appear speculative. Stock dividends and splits can reduceKincrease market prices to keep them within an optimal ran!e of E:7)EF7. But many successful firms have stock prices far e#ceedin! this ran!eA in :77M (oo!le stock was sellin! for over EL77 a share and Berkshire 3athway A shares have traded at over E677 777 a share. Stocks with low prices ?say less than EL a share@ do have a sti!ma of bein! lower "uality speculative issues and some have done reverse splits to raise their stock price. But research studies show what we intuitively know: there is no shareholder value created in splits reverse splits and stock dividends. TWO.STAGE GROWTH MO"ELS The assumption of a smooth constant !rowth rate over time may not be true for some firms. The firm and industry life cycle is such that a period of fast and variable !rowth is followed by a period of slower more consistent !rowth. And cyclical firms will have !rowth rates that fluctuate with the business cycle. &ne way to address this reality is to use a two)sta!e !rowth model. The model assumes supernormal !rowth will occur for the firm over a short period of time after which CnormalD and relatively constant !rowth will occur.: To value these stocks we
:

Some use a three)sta!e !rowth model in which a period of supernormal !rowth is followed by a period of above)normal but declinin! !rowth rates until a sustainable constant !rowth rate is achieved. 67)M

That is we estimate the dividends for each year of the n)year supernormal !rowth period and compute their present valueA we add to this the present value of the stock price in year n.

27. Describe the process for valuing a bond. Determining the value of a bond is a three-step process1 .irst we must find the present value of the coupon payments. The annual coupon payment is the coupon rate multiplied by the par value. $f interest is paid semiannually this amount is divided in half and the resultin! amount is paid every si# months. The time hori>on is the number of years until maturity for a bond with annual coupon payments and the number of years times two for a bond with semiannual coupons. The discount rate is the periodic rate determined by whether the yearly rate is "uoted on a nominal ?A1+@ basis or effective yield ?*A+@ basis. Second the present value of the par value is computed usin! the same number of periods and periodic rate as that used for the coupons. Third the sum of the present value of the coupons and the present value of the par value is the price of the bond. 2(. !hat is meant by the 4yield to maturity5 on a bond& $t is the return on a bond investment if the bond is held to maturity if all the coupon payments are reinvested at the yield to maturity and there are no ta#es to be paid. 2,. /riefly describe the types of risk faced by investors in domestic bonds. 8lso indicate the additional risks associated with nondomestic bonds. 0omestic bond risks include credit or default risk interest rate risk and rollover risk. Credit risk is the chance of not havin! timely payment of interest or principal. $nterest rate risk is characteri>ed by the Cseesaw effectDOchan!es in interest rates in one direction lead to chan!es in bond prices in the opposite direction. +einvestment or rollover risk is the risk that interest rates may fall harmin! the returns earned on reinvested coupons or principal. 'ondomestic bond investors have at least two other risks: e#chan!e rate risk ?fluctuatin! e#chan!e rates lead to varyin! /.S. dollar cash returns@ and political risk ?blocked currencies social unrest in the forei!n country@. 6M. !hat risk does a 6ero-coupon bond address& +einvestment rate risk as there are no intermediate cash flows to reinvest in other securities. 6F. 8ccording to the behavior of interest rates in 9igure 23.($ were investors more concerned or less concerned about risk over the %33%-%33, time period& Explain. The narrowin! ?spread become smaller@ between the Baa corporate bonds and Treasury bonds shows investors were becomin! less concerned about risk over this time frame. Similarly the spread or risk premium between Aaa corporates and Treasuries fell. .allin! risk premiums as indicated in this part of the fi!ure implies less investor concern about risk. 6G. !hat does it mean with the hori6on spreads in 9igure 23.- dip below the :-axis& !hy do some feel that this was not to be the case in %33,& When hori>on spreads are ne!ative the yield curve is investedOthat is lon!)term bond rates are less than shorter term bond rates.

Describe some of the characteristics of common stock. Common stock represents ownership in the firm. Common shareholders can vote for the firm9s board of directors and other maBor issues as allowed by the firm9s charter. Common stock has a residual claim on the firm9s assets and earnin!s in case of bankruptcy. Some of the firm9s profits may be distributed to common shareholders if dividends are declared by the board of directors. The dividend can increase decrease remain stable or be eliminated. '3. =ist and briefly explain the special features usually associated with preferred stock. 1referred stock carries a fi#ed dividend e#pressed either as a dollar amount or as a percent of par value. They have a preference over common shareholders with respect to earnin!s and assets in case of bankruptcy. Shareholders have no votin! ri!hts e#cept in certain circumstances if dividends are missed. $t may be cumulative ?all dividends in arrears must be paid before common shareholders receive dividends@ or non)cumulative. 1referred stock can be convertible into shares of common stock or callable by the issuer. '2. )ow do firms decide how much of their earnings to distribute as dividends& 67)6<

There are several methods firms use. &ne is to maintain a tar!et dividend payout ratio ?dividends per share divided by earnin!s per share@ over time. $nvestors like predictabilityOso the board of directors will refrain from chan!in! the dollar amount of dividends per share by lar!e unsustainable amounts. $f the firm does have e#cess cash it decides to return to shareholders it can declare a special dividend or initiate a share repurchase pro!ram. $n addition to the sustainability of the level of dividends other considerations include !rowth opportunities facin! the firm ?should it reinvest in itself or distribute funds to shareholders@A the cost of other financin! sources such as debtA ta# rates on dividendsA and le!al considerations ?a firm cannot issue dividends if doin! so reduces its e"uity below the stock9s par value or if it will violate a bond or loan indenture in some manner. '%. Explain how an investor may view a stock dividend$ a stock split$ and a stock repurchase plan with regards to the value of his stock holdings. Stock dividends and stock splits should have no impact on firm valueA they are little more than accountin! entries adBustin! the number of shares outstandin! by the firm and the number of shares owned by an investor. A share repurchase plan is viewed positively as the firm is usin! funds to reduce the amount of shares outstandin!. /nder the laws of supply and demand this will increase the stock price above what it would be otherwise. Any !ains from stock price increases are deferred until an investor9s shares are sold. ''. Describe the process for valuing a preferred stock. Since the cash dividends of a preferred stock are similar in nature to a perpetuity they can be valued usin! the perpetuity relationship. This is usually done by dividin! the periodic dividend by the preferred shareholders9 re"uired rate of return. '7. Describe the process for valuing a common stock when the cash dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate. As lon! as the e#pected !rowth rate is less than the common shareholders9 re"uired rate of return the (ordon model or constant dividend !rowth model can be used. Today9s stock price is estimated by dividin! ne#t year9s e#pected dividend ?which is this year9s dividend increased by the !rowth rate@ divided by the difference between the shareholders9 re"uired return and the dividend !rowth rate. '(. Discuss the risks faced by common shareholders that are not related to the general level of interest rates. As stockholders have a lower priority than bondholders on a firm9s cash flows and assets any risk ?poor mana!ement decisions adverse chan!e in e#chan!e rates competitive pressures new products@ that reduces cash flows or the value of a firm9s assets is primarily borne by a firm9s shareholders. *thical lapses by mana!ement will harm a firm9s stock price. $n addition as the constant)!rowth model shows much of a firm9s stock value is due to e#pectations of future !rowth. $f !rowth e#pectations chan!e due to economic or product market factors the value of the stock will fall.

'.. !hat can looking at data on inventories tell us about the condition of the economy& Data on business expansion or investment plans& .irms produce inventories to sellA if sales rise inventories will fall. To maintain an appropriate level of supplies and finished product the firm may have to increase orders of raw materials pay overtime or hire additional workers and increase production. Thus fallin! inventories may indicate !rowin! consumer demand and continued economic !rowth. +isin! inventories can indicate a weakenin! economyA lower sales accompanied by risin! inventories may lead to supply cutbacks and worker layoffs. Business plans to e#pand or invest in plant and e"uipment are !ood si!ns for future economic !rowth. Businesses invest in themselves based upon the outlook for future sales and profitability. This investment will in turn help supplier firms construction firms and will keep workers fully employed. Cutbacks in business investment are an indication of slower economic !rowth or recession. '0.
