vote shares of common stock.
Proxy fight: An attempt by a person or group to gain control of a firm by getting its stockholders
to grant that person or group the authority to vote its shares to replace the current
management.
Takeover: An action whereby a person or group succeeds in ousting a firm's management and
taking control of the company.
Preemptive right: A provision in the corporate charter that gives common stockholders the right
to purchase on a pro rata basis new issues of common stock.
Types of Common Stock
Classified stock: Common stock that is given a special designation such as class A or class B to
meet the special needs of the company.
Founders’ shares: stock owned by the firms' founders that enables them to maintain control
over the company without having to own majority of the stock.
Stock Price versus Intrinsic Value
Approaches to value common stock
Dividend growth model
◦ Constant growth model
◦ Non constant growth model

Free cash flow model


The Discounted Dividend Model
Constant Growth (Gordon) Model

Dividends versus Growth
1. Dividends are paid out of earnings
2. Therefore, growth in dividends requires growth in earnings.
3. Earnings growth in the long run occurs primarily because firms retain
earnings and reinvest them in the business.
4. Therefore, the higher the percentage of earnings retained, the higher the
growth rate.

Corporate Valuation Model
A valuation model used as an alternative to the discounted dividend model to determine a firm’s
value especially one with no history of dividends or the value of a division of a larger firm. The
corporate model first calculates the firm’s free cash flows, then finds their present values to
determine the firm’s value.

Other approaches to valuing common stock

◦ The P/E Multiple Approach


◦ The Enterprise-Based Multiples Approach
◦ The EVA approach
The P/E Multiple Approach
◦ A company’s P/E ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay
for each dollar of reported earnings.

◦ One obvious drawback of the P/E approach is that it depends on


reported accounting earnings. For this reason, some analysts
choose to rely on other multiples to value stocks. For example,
some analysts look at a company’s price-to-cash-flow ratio,
whereas others look at the price-to-sales ratio.
