What is Security Analysis?
• “The process of gathering and organizing information and then using it to determine the intrinsic value of a share of common stock.”

What is Intrinsic Value?
• Intrinsic Value– The underlying or inherent value of a stock, as
determined through fundamental analysis
– A prudent investor will only buy a stock if its market price does not exceed what the investor thinks the stock is worth.
– Intrinsic value depends upon several factors:• Estimates of future cash flows• Discount rate• Amount of risk

“Top Down” Approach to Traditional Security Analysis
• Step 1: Economic Analysis– State of overall economy
• Step 2: Industry Analysis– Outlook for specific industry– Level of competition in industry
• Step 3: Fundamental Analysis– Financial condition of specific company– Historical behavior of specific company’s stock

Efficient Market Hypothesis
• Efficient Market: the concept that the market is so efficient in processing new information that securities trade very close to or at their correct values at all times
• Efficient market advocates believe:– Securities are rarely substantially mispriced in
the marketplace– No security analysis is capable of finding mispriced
securities more frequently than using random chance

Who Needs Security Analysis in an Efficient Market?
• Fundamental analysis is still important because:
– All of the people doing fundamental analysis is the reason the market is efficient
– Financial markets may not be perfectly efficient
– Pricing errors are inevitable

Important Point to Remember!
• Stock prices usually change before the actual forecasted changes become apparent in the economy
• Stock price trends are another leading indicator often used to help predict the direction of the economy itself

Growth Cycle Stages and Investments
• Growth Cycle reflects the vitality of an industry or a company over time.
• Initial Development: industry is new and risks are very high
• Rapid Expansion: product acceptance is growing and investors become very interested
• Mature Growth: expansion comes from growth in the economy and returns are more predictable
• Stability or Decline: demand for product is diminishing and investors avoid this stage

meaningful relationships between numbers– Looks at company’s historical trends to see if improving
or declining– Looks at industry standards to see how company
compares to competitors

Breaking DownReturn on Assets (ROA)
• Breaking down ROA allows investors to identify the components that are driving company profits.
• Investors want to know if ROA is moving up (or down) because of improvement (or deterioration) in the company’s profit margin and/or its total asset turnover.
ROA = Net profit margin ×Total asset turnover

Breaking DownReturn on Assets (ROA) (cont'd)
• Breaking down ROE allows investors to identify the impact of financial leverage on company return.
• Investors want to know if ROE is moving up (or down) because of how much debt the company is using or because of how the firm is managing its assets and operations.
ROE = ROA ×Equity multiplier

• Look at ratios for the industry
• Evaluate the firm relative to two or three major competitors

• Cash flow from operations dropping below net income
• Presence of lots of indecipherable off-balance sheet accounts and extraordinary income entries
