Shiny Silver, a small cutlery manufacturer, is planning to go public with an initial public offering of common stock, and it needs to determine an appropriate price for the stock. The company and its investment banker believe that the proper procedure is to conduct a valuation and select several similar publicly traded firms to make relevant comparisons. Several cutlery manufacturers are reasonably similar to Shiny Silver with respect to product mix, asset composition, and debt/equity proportions. Of these companies, Fancy Flatware and Standard Silverware are the most similar, with the following data:   Company Data                      Fancy Flatware            Standard Silverware Shares outstanding                  5 million                            10 million Price per share                        $35.00                                  $47.00 Earnings per share                  $2.20                                     $3.13 Free cash flow per share         $1.63                                     $2.54 Book value per share              $16.00                                   $20.00 Total assets                             $115 million                         $250 million Total debt                                $35 million                             $50 million Shiny Silver has 500,000 shares outstanding.

How does this compare with the price you get using the corporate valuation model?

Question
  • Shiny Silver, a small cutlery manufacturer, is planning to go public with an initial public offering of common stock, and it needs to determine an appropriate price for the stock. The company and its investment banker believe that the proper procedure is to conduct a valuation and select several similar publicly traded firms to make relevant comparisons. Several cutlery manufacturers are reasonably similar to Shiny Silver with respect to product mix, asset composition, and debt/equity proportions. Of these companies, Fancy Flatware and Standard Silverware are the most similar, with the following data:

 

Company Data                      Fancy Flatware            Standard Silverware

Shares outstanding                  5 million                            10 million

Price per share                        $35.00                                  $47.00

Earnings per share                  $2.20                                     $3.13

Free cash flow per share         $1.63                                     $2.54

Book value per share              $16.00                                   $20.00

Total assets                             $115 million                         $250 million

Total debt                                $35 million                             $50 million

  1. Shiny Silver has 500,000 shares outstanding. Shiny anticipates the following free cash flows over the next 5 years:

 

a. Year          1                       2                       3                       4                   5                     

FCF      $1,000,000      $1,050,000      $1,208,000      $1,329,000      $1,462,000

 

After year 5, free cash flow growth will be stable at 7% per year. Currently, Shiny has no nonoperating assets and its WACC is 12%. Using the free cash flow valuation model, estimate the (1) horizon value, (2) intrinsic value of operations, (3) intrinsic value of equity, and (4) intrinsic value per share.

 

b. Calculate debt/total assets, P/E, Market/Book, Price/FCF, and ROE for Fancy, Standard, and Shiny. For calculations that require a price for Shiny, use the per share price you obtained with the corporate valuation model from part a.

 

c. Using Fancy’s and Standard’s P/E, Market/Book, and Price/FCF ratios, calculate the range of prices for Shiny’s stock that would be consistent with these ratios. For example, if you multiply Shiny’s earnings per share by Fancy’s P/E ratio you get a price. What range of prices do you get? How does this compare with the price you get using the corporate valuation model?
