Follow-up Question
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)
