QUESTION 2 STOCK VALUATION: 

− Use the spreadsheet “Q2-Stock-FLT.xlsx” on Blackboard to complete this question. The spreadsheet contains information output from Bloomberg Terminal.
− All financial statement numbers are in millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated.
− Assume today is 30th June 2017 and you have just been paid a dividend and that the next dividend will be received in exactly one year (assume dividend is paid annually).
− The stock price as at 30th June 2017 was $38.30.

a) You expect Flight Centre Ltd. to maintain the same dividend payout ratio as at 30th June 2017 for the next three years. After three years, the company will increase the dividend payout ratio to 70%. Assume company’s return on new investment is 16.6% and the required rate of return is 10%. Using the dividend discount model, calculate the intrinsic value for stock today.

b) Based on your answer in Part (a), would you recommend to buy, sell or hold the stock? Give the recommendation and briefly discuss the difference between the intrinsic value and stock price.

– Forward Price-Earnings Ratio and Trailing Price-Earnings Ratio. Briefly discuss the difference between these two ratios.
– If the stock was fairly priced according to the dividend discount model, what would be its Price-Earnings ratio (both Forward and Trailing)?
– The P/E ratio of the “S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Sector GICS Level 1 Index” is 25.07 as at the end of financial year of 2017, use this number as the average industry P/E ratio for Flight Centre. Comparing your estimate of P/E ratio for Flight Centre with the industry average
P/E ratio, what conclusion could you make?
