You are trying to value Alpha S.A., a small, privately owned software company and you are using the information that you have on Beta S.A. a publicly traded software company that you believe is fairly valued by the market given its fundamentals. You have the following information on the two companies: Net Income (in millions) Book Value of Equity (in millions) Price/Book Value Alpha S.A. €70 €400 Not available while is a private company Beta S.A. €100 €800 1.50 Assuming that both companies are in stable growth, growing 3% a year, and have the same cost of equity, estimate the fair value for the equity of Alpha S.A. Does an increase in interest rates always imply lower prices and accordingly lower P/E ratios? Mention the case where this may be true or not. (in 150 words)
