CFA Level 1 - Equity Investments
Similar to a stock market series, a company's expected earnings per share (EPS) can be determined as
Formula 13.10
Where:
Sales = sales per share of the estimated series determined through regression
OM = the operating margin is typically calculated as a percentage of sales
Depreciation = this is determined by either continuing the trend of the current depreciation or focusing on the expected capital expenditures and how that number relates to future dividends.
Interest = interest is determined by outstanding debt and the interest rate on that debt.
Formula 13.10
EPSstock market series = [(sales)(operating margin) - depreciation - interest]*(1-tax) |
Where:
Sales = sales per share of the estimated series determined through regression
Depreciation = this is determined by either continuing the trend of the current depreciation or focusing on the expected capital expenditures and how that number relates to future dividends.
Interest = interest is determined by outstanding debt and the interest rate on that debt.
The inputs, however, are determined from specific company data.
Example: Calculate the EPS of a company
Assuming the following estimates for a company, sales per share = $50.00,
Answer:
EPS = [($50.00)(50%) - $5.00 - $1.00](1-0.40) = $11.40 per share
Determining the Earnings Multiplier of a Company
Similar to a stock market series, a company's earnings multiplier can be determined as follows:The price of the stock is simply divided by the earnings per share of the stock as follows:
Formula 13.9 (restated)
Earnings multiplier  |
Example: Determining a company's earnings multiplier
With Newco's $0.25 dividend payout, an EPS of $1.00, calculate the stock's P/E ratio assuming 10% required return and 5% growth.
Answer:
P/E ratio = 0.25/1.00 = 5%
(0.10-0.05)
