The Value of Operations and the Evaluation of Enterprise Price-to-Book Ratios and Price-Earnings Ratios


After reading this chapter you should understand:
  • How, for an asset at fair market value on the balance sheet, expected residual income in the future must be zero.
  • How a valuation based on forecasting residual income from operations differs from a residual earnings (RE) valuation based on forecasting full comprehensive income.
  • Why forecasted residual income (or expense) on financial assets and liabilities is typically zero.
  • How return on net operating assets and growth in net operating assets are the two drivers of residual operating income.
  • How a valuation based on forecasting abnormal operating income growth differs from an abnormal earnings growth (AEG) valuation.
  • How the required return for operations and the required return for equity are related.
  • How financial leverage affects ROCE, earnings growth, and the required return for equity.
  • How financial leverage affects a valuation.
  • Why earnings growth that is created by leverage should not be valued.
  • The effects of stock repurchases on value.
