Session 11: Equity Valuation: Industry and Company Analysis in a Global Context Reading 36: Equity: Concepts and Techniques
LOS d: Analyze the effects of inflation on asset valuation.
Thomas Riolo is considering adding either Multifactory Ltd. or Analogesous Corp. to his equity portfolio. He has concluded that Multifactory is likely to have a higher valuation than Analogesous because of two factors:
Factor #1: Multifactory has a higher franchise factor than Analogesous.
Factor #2: Multifactory has a lower inflation pass-through than Analogesous.
Riolo is correct with respect to:
The more positive the franchise factor and the higher the inflation pass-through, the higher the valuation of the firm. |
