  • Sounding good or Doing good? A Skeptical Look at ESG September 21, 2020
    In my time in corporate finance and valuation, I have seen many "new and revolutionary" ideas emerge, each one marketed as the solution to all of the problems that businesses face. Most of the time, these ideas start by repackaging an existing concept or measure and adding a couple of proprietary tweaks that are less […]
  • Illusion, Perception and Reality: Stock Splits and Index Inclusions September 1, 2020
    After big market movements, we are eager to look for explanations, fundamental reasons why a stock or stocks collectively moved on that day, but the reality is that a great deal of the price movement on a day-to-day basis has nothing to do with earnings, cash flows or risk. On August 31, this reality was […]
  • A Viral Market Update XIII: The Strong (FANGAM) get stronger! August 20, 2020
    When I started these updates on February 26, 2020, about two weeks after the markets went into free fall, my first six posts were titled "Viral Market Meltdowns", reflecting the sell off across the globe. About half way through this series, I changed the title, replacing the word "meltdown" with "update", as markets turned around. […]
  • From Class Rooms to Class Zooms: Teaching during COVID times! August 5, 2020
    As some of you who have visited my website and read my bio know, I describe myself first and foremost as a teacher,  and every semester, for the last decade, I have invited anyone who is interested to join in my classes. In December 2019, when I posted my last invite, I fully expected to be teaching corporate […]
  • A Viral Market Update XII: The Resilience of Private Risk Capital July 23, 2020
    In the midst of chaos and confusion, it is human nature to look for order and for a unifying theory that explains the world. As I have navigated my way through this crisis, I have used data from markets to try to come up with explanations for why markets have rebounded as quickly and as […]
  • A Viral Market Update XI: The Flexibility Premium July 2, 2020
    I must confess that when I started these updates in February, I did not expect to be doing them in July, but a crisis is as good a time as any, to learn new lessons and relearn old ones. As the virus makes a comeback, particularly in the United States, it is not surprising that […]
  • A Viral Market Update X: A Corporate Life Cycle Perspective June 19, 2020
    Fear and greed are dueling forces in financial markers at all times, but especially so in periods of uncertainty, when they pull in opposite directions, causing wild market swings and momentum shifts. I think that no matter what your market views are right now, you would agree that we are in a period of intense […]
  • A Viral Market Update IX: A Do-it-Yourself S&P 500 Valuation June 4, 2020
    It has been close to four weeks since my last viral market update, and I could come up with a whole host of excuses for the delay, but the truth is that I have not had much to say that is original, and I am naturally lazy. That said, markets have settled in, mostly with […]
  • A Viral Market Update VIII: A Crisis Test - Value vs Growth, Active vs Passive, Small Cap vs Large! May 13, 2020
    In the weeks since my first update on the crisis on February 26, 2020, the markets have been on a roller coaster ride, as equity markets around the world collectively lost $30 trillion in market cap between February 14, 2020 and March 20, 2020, and then clawed back more than half of the loss in […]

Market Value vs Intrinsic Value of a stock

January 10, 2015

To better understand what “intrinsic value” is for a stock, let’s first look at the stock’s price-earnings ratio , sometimes referred to as  the PER, the P/E ratio or just the P/E. The price (P) in the numerator refers to the price of the stock. The earnings (E) in the denominator refers to the earnings
