Stock and Bond Valuation Analysis

The valuation of stocks and bonds is fundamental to investment decision-making. This analysis will cover the calculation of dividends based on stock price and growth expectations, valuation of preferred stocks, analysis of convertible bonds, and the determination of bond prices based on market rates. Additionally, a review of an educational video on stock pricing and valuation models will enhance understanding of these concepts.

Stock Valuation: Calculating the Dividend Just Paid

The current stock price is $31.80, with an anticipated constant growth rate of 6%, and investors seeking a 16% return. This scenario can be modeled using the Gordon Growth Model (Dividend Discount Model), which defines the current stock price (P) as:

P = D1 / (k - g)

Where:

  • P = current stock price = $31.80
  • D1 = dividend just paid
  • k = required rate of return = 16% or 0.16
  • g = growth rate = 6% or 0.06

Rearranging to find D0 (the dividend just paid), we use the relationship between D1 and D0:

D1 = D0 * (1 + g)

Substituting into the valuation formula:

P = D0 * (1 + g) / (k - g)

Plugging in the known values:

31.80 = D0 * (1 + 0.06) / (0.16 - 0.06)


31.80 = D0 * 1.06 / 0.10


D0 = (31.80 * 0.10) / 1.06


D0 ≈ (3.18) / 1.06 ≈ 3.00

Therefore, the dividend just paid (D0) is approximately $3.00.

Valuation of Preferred Stock

The value of preferred stock is calculated as the dividend divided by the required rate of return (k):

V = D / k

Given:

  • D = $4.50
  • k = 10% or 0.10

Calculation:

V = 4.50 / 0.10 = $45.00

The value of the preferred stock is $45.00.

Similarly, for the second preferred stock with a $9.50 dividend and a 12% required rate:

V = 9.50 / 0.12 ≈ $79.17

Convertible Bond Valuation and Conversion Premium

Given Data:

  • Par Value = $1,000
  • Coupon rate = 7% (semi-annual)
  • Conversion price = $50
  • Current bond price = $1,120
  • Stock price upon conversion = $54

The number of shares upon conversion is:

Number of shares = Par value / Conversion price = 1000 / 50 = 20 shares

The market value of stock upon conversion is:

Market value = 20 * 54 = $1,080

The conversion premium is the difference between the bond's market price and the value of the converted shares:

Conversion premium = Bond price - Market value of conversion = 1120 - 1080 = $40

Thus, the bond’s conversion premium is $40.

Corporate Bond Pricing

Scenario:

  • Par value = $1,000
  • Coupon rate = 7% (semi-annual)
  • Years to maturity = 20
  • Market required rate of return = a) 6.6%, b) 13%

Coupon payment (PMT) per period:

PMT = (7% * 1000) / 2 = $35

Number of periods:

N = 20 * 2 = 40

Market rates per period:

  • a) 6.6% / 2 = 3.3%
  • b) 13% / 2 = 6.5%

The bond price is calculated as the present value of future coupon payments plus the present value of the face value:

Price = (PMT  [1 - (1 + r)^-N] / r) + FV  (1 + r)^-N

where r is the rate per period.

Calculations:

a) 6.6% market rate:

r = 0.033


Price = 35  [1 - (1 + 0.033)^-40] / 0.033 + 1000  (1 + 0.033)^-40 ≈ $1,055.32

b) 13% market rate:

r = 0.065


Price = 35  [1 - (1 + 0.065)^-40] / 0.065 + 1000  (1 + 0.065)^-40 ≈ $951.56

Therefore, the current selling prices are approximately $1,055.32 for the 6.6% rate and $951.56 for the 13% rate.

Video Review on Stock and Bond Valuation

I watched the video titled "Introduction to Stock Valuation Models" from Investopedia. The video provided an overview of the fundamental models used for valuing stocks, including the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) and the Price/Earnings ratio. It explained how the DDM relies on projected dividends and growth rates to estimate intrinsic stock value, illustrating the importance of variables such as dividend growth, required rate of return, and current stock price. The video also touched on bond valuation, emphasizing present value calculations based on coupon payments, face value, and market interest rates. The information in the video reinforced the analytical methods used in the calculations above, highlighting how changes in growth assumptions or required returns impact valuation. The models serve as essential tools for investors to estimate fair values and make informed investment decisions.
