Session 12: Equity Investments: Valuation Models Reading 43: Residual Income Valuation
LOS e: Explain the relation between residual income valuation and the justified price-to-book ratio based on forecasted fundamentals.
In a single-stage residual income model for a firm with return on equity (ROE) greater than the required rate of return, which statement is least accurate?
A) |
Free cash flow to equity will be positive. | |
B) |
Market value will be greater than book value. | |
C) |
The justified price-to-book value (P/B) ratio will be greater than one. | |
In a single-stage residual income model with ROE greater than the required rate of return, justified P/B will be greater than one and market value will be greater than book. There is no clear relationship with free cash flow to equity. |
