Q9. Marc Gnocci, CFA, is considering the inclusion of the common stock of Konteco Incorporated in several of his clients’ accounts. Konteco provides centralized telephone systems in remote areas of underdeveloped nations. As a result of a recent economic downturn, the price of Konteco’s stock price has declined dramatically. However, given the current economic outlook and Konteco’s long-range earnings forecast, Gnocci believes that Konteco is currently trading below its intrinsic value and has a required return of 15%. In order to determine if Konteco is indeed underpriced, and to prepare a recommendation for his clients, Gnocci has assembled the information presented in the following tables. Gnocci has decided to estimate the current value of Konteco’s stock using the free cash flow to equity (FCFE) approach. He believes that Konteco’s FCFE will grow at 20% for three years after 2006, then stabilize at 3% from 2010 onward. Gnocci assumes that Konteco’s capital expenditures, depreciation, and working capital will change in direct proportion to FCFE.
