Trang 8INTRODUCTION
1 Necessity of the thesis
The activity in stock market exchanges has increased much in Vietnam nowadays Consequently, the stock market is playing a growing important role to the society Many institutions as well as individuals are heavily invested in the stock market In order for the stock market to develop normally and stably, understanding valuation techniques of firms is very important Without some sorts of model to estimate value, investors would not be able to arrive at conclusions on what price to buy or sell an asset
When researching different valuation results of a specific firm, the value often differs – we can see the sample in SAM case discuss in next chapter Different in valuation may come from different views of the future or assumption or technique and, hence, different recommended values We can’t know which of these values is the most accurate and this is only one of the many difficulties involved in valuation
In Vietnam stock market, the situation is much more difficult since it’s an emerging market and to some aspect, there’s no rule for market like this in its early stage
This study will focus on several valuation models that mostly use in firm valuation
in Vietnam: Multiples (P/E), ABV, DDM and DCF in order to show the different of each method and their results, through understanding of those model and try to find the possible adjustment to make it accuracy
2 Purpose
The overall purpose of this study is to establish some improvements of the available valuation method currently applied in Vietnam stock market The aim is to expose some weaknesses of the method and the reasons behind Further, the study will be

Trang 10conducted to find solutions of these problems This will be accomplished by a literature study and a subsequent case study
3 Methodology
The Thesis uses quantitative and qualitative approach and includes statements that will give the reader an insight in, how the research area was approached, why it was conducted in this way, how the work progressed, and, finally, the authors own critical opinions of the study
The intention is to introduce the reader to how the study was conducted as well as a give the opportunity to develop a personal perception concerning the trustworthiness of the study
4 Outline of the Study
In the second part of this thesis the literature study will be conducted The study helps to understand the core concepts and the basic theories of valuation as well as the basic understanding of stock market and value of a thing It also contains a brief introduction of the development of Vietnam stock market and valuation history in Vietnam That information is necessary for the discussion to valuation in practice
The third part of the thesis is the case study of SAM company In this we try to use different approach of valuation to find solutions for value of SAM By understanding different methods, we can understand difficulties with each valuation
we applied and can work out to find ways to increase the accuracy of valuation
The final part of the thesis is concerned with recommendations and conclusions of how the valuation process can be improved and what should be adjusted to increase the usefulness and accuracy of the valuation process involved in Vietnam stock market

LITERATURE REVIEWS: STOCK AND STOCK VALUATION
“Valuation: the determination, through prior analysis, of a price for a
business that might be paid by an investor “ (Hervé, 1993:95)
In this chapter relevant theories connected to our problem discussion will be discussed
The chapter begins with definitions and some possible discussions about some concepts that will be important when the analysis is conducted Thereafter, basic theories of models are introduced This is to give the reader insight how valuation models work Lately, history of Vietnam stock market is presented for setting up a scenario for valuation in early stage
1.1 STOCK – DEFINITION, TYPES AND FEATURES
Stock, also referred to as a share, is commonly a share of ownership in a joint stock company (Copeland et al, 2000) The owners and financial backers of a company may desire additional capital to invest in new projects within the company If they were to sell the company it would represent a loss of control over the company It may be represented by a certificate and can be common or preferred, voting or non- voting, redeemable, convertible, etc…
There are kinds of stocks:
1.1.1 Common stock
Common stock, also referred to as common shares, is the most usual and commonly held form of stock in a corporation (DeAngelo, 1990) The other type of shares that

Trang 14the public can hold in a corporation is known as preferred stock Common stock that has been re-purchased by the corporation is known as treasury stock and is available for a variety of corporate uses
Common Stockholders are not guaranteed dividends, buy they expect to receive higher dividends during the company’s prosperous periods If a company fails or liquidates, common stockholders are paid, after bondholders and preferred stockholders
Common stockholders assume the greater risk, but generally exercise the greater control and may gain the greater award in the form of dividends and capital appreciation The terms common stock and capital stock are often used interchangeably when the company has no preferred stock
Holders of common stock have voting powers in the corporation and participate in the profits of the corporation by way of dividends, but only after preferred stockholders have been paid their dividends (DeAngelo, 1990)
1.1.2 Preferred stock
Preferred stock is a security that shows ownership in a corporation and gives the holder a claim, prior to the claim of common stockholders, on earnings and also generally on assets in the event of liquidation (Copeland et al, 2000) Most preferred stock pays a fixed dividend that is paid prior to the common stock dividend This stock does not usually carry voting rights Preferred stock has characteristics of both common stock and debt
A preferred stock shareholder forfeits his voting rights, but receives dividends (which are set at a specified rate) before the common stock shareholder In the event

Trang 16of liquidation, bankruptcy preferred stock shareholders are paid before common stock shareholders
It can be considered that a preferred stock is a hybrid between a share and a bond which, as opposed to ordinary shares, has a fixed yield, providing the issuer achieves a minimum profit (DeAngelo, 1990) The fixed income stream of preferred stock makes it similar in many ways to bonds
1.1.3 Rights
Options granted to shareholders to purchase additional shares directly from the company concerned Rights are issued to shareholders in proportion to the securities they may hold in a company (Fama and French, 1992)
Rights allow existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe to shares of a new issue of common stock before that stock is offered to the public on the stock market
A right usually has a life of 2 to 4 weeks, is transferable, and entitles the holder to buy the new common stock below the Public Offering Price Rights are often granted to protect existing shareholders from the effects of dilution
1.1.4 Warrants
A warrant gives investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy a share at a certain price (the exercise price) by a certain date in the future (Fama and French, 1992) Warrants often accompany a share issue and they can be traded in the stock market
in their own right The value of warrants is likely to be more volatile than the underlying shares, and this can be a high-risk area of investment Because of this it
is a regulatory requirement to sign a warrants risk warning prior to trading

Trang 181.2 VALUATION
1.2.1 Valuation
Much of the literature has been written on corporate stock valuation approaches Damodaran (2002) provides extensive description of different stock valuation models He reviews the four models: Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Arbitrage Pricing Model (APM), Multi-Factor Model (MFM), and Regression Model (RM) It is mentioned that all models have two common assumptions: they define risk in terms of variance of returns and argue that investment should be viewed from the standpoint of the marginal investor
Valuation is the process of "estimating" the value of an asset or liability The value
is the price of the asset or liability times the quantity held Valuation puts a value on
a security in relation to other securities It is used to estimate the value of a piece of property usually by considering its replacement cost or its actual cash value Factored into the estimate is any depreciation or wear and tear
Valuation is the estimated or determined market value of a stock
1.2.2 Value
Valuation of firms can be done for many reasons, such as to find a fair price to offer
an acquisition target, appraise an acquisition offer, or to find out the value of owning a firm There are several different ways to look at value and, furthermore, there are several opinions on what creates value in a firm
Book Value - The book value of a firm is obtained from the balances sheet by
taking the adjusted historical cost of the firm’s assets and subtracting the liabilities (Copeland et al, 2000)

Trang 20As an accounting term, book value of a stock is determined from a company's records, by adding all assets then deducting all debts and other liabilities, plus the liquidation price of any preferred issues The sum arrived at is divided by the number of common shares outstanding and the result is book value per common share Book value of the assets of a company or a security may have little relationship to market value Book value often differs substantially from market price It is also used to determine the ultimate value of securities in liquidation Book value is calculated by the following:
Total assets minus (-) intangible assets (goodwill, patents etc) minus (-) any term liabilities EQUALS (=) total net assets This figure, divided by the number of shares of preferred and/or common stock , gives the Net Asset Value - or Book Value - per share of preferred or common stock Book Value is often used as an indicator for selecting undervalued stocks
long-Market value - This is the price at which the property would change hands between
a willing seller and a willing buyer (Copeland et al, 2000)
The market value of a security is the amount one would reasonably expect to pay for it on the open market The market value of a portfolio is the sum of the market values of the individual securities comprising the portfolio In particular, the market value of a debt instrument is the present value of its future cash flows The market value of debt is negative because the cash flows are negative (interest and maturity payments made by the province to the investor) Market value may be different from the price a property could actually be sold for at a given time
Economic value - The economic value is the value of the expected earnings from
using the item discounted at an appropriate discount rate to give the present–day value (Copeland, 2000)

Trang 22Economic and intrinsic value is the amount by which the option is in the money or the amount by which the price of a warrant or call option exceeds the price at which the warrant or option may be exercised For a call, this is the current underlying price minus the exercise price For a put, this is the exercise price minus the current underlying price An out of the money has no intrinsic value An in the money option, has some intrinsic value It can be known as the portion of an options premium that is attributed to the value that could currently be realized by exercising and simultaneously closing out the position in the open market
1.2.3 Price
Price is the amount of money needed to purchase something or the amount of money, or other goods, that you have to give up to buy a good or service In economics and business, the price is the assigned numerical monetary value of a good, service or asset The concept of price is central to microeconomics where it is one of the most important variables in resource allocation theory (also called price theory) Price is also central to marketing where it is one of the four variables in the marketing mix that business people use to develop a marketing plan
The lowest price a security or commodity has reached in a certain period of time such as a daily low or annual low This can be expressed daily, weekly, monthly, or for a 52 week period The price of a market-based security is stated as a percentage
of face value
1.2.4 Time value of money
The time value of money or the present discounted value is one of the basic concepts of finance Time value of money is the value derived from the use of money over time as a result of investment and reinvestment (Fama and French, 1992) This term may refer to either present value or future value calculations The present value is the value today of an amount that would exist in the future with a

Trang 24stated investment rate called the discount rate For example, with a 10% annual discount rate, the present value today of $110 one year from now is $100
The principle that money received in the present is worth more than the same amount received in the future The concept, used as the basis for discounted cash flow calculations that cash received earlier is worth more than a similar sum received later, because the sum received earlier can be invested to earn interest in the intervening period For the same reasons, cash paid out later is worth less than a similar sum paid at an earlier date
1.2.5 Present value
Cash flow
Cash flow is the amount of cash earned after paying all expenses and taxes Cash flow is calculated by adding: net after-tax income plus any bookkeeping expenses that result in items being deducted but not paid out in cash Such bookkeeping entries include amounts charged off for depreciation, depletion, amortization, and charges to reserves Cash flow is a measure of a company's worth and its ability to pay dividends on its stock (DeAngelo, 1990)
It is also an analysis over a period of time revealing the availability, or lack, of cash More simply put the difference between cash in (income) vs cash out (expenses) Since money does not flow in and out at an equal rate, in most businesses, an analysis of cash flow is important, especially of businesses that are cyclical in nature, or subject to external forces The statement of cash flows included in annual reports analyzes all changes affecting cash in the categories of operations, investments, and financing
Cash flow forecast
Cash flow forecast is an estimate of when and how much money will be received and paid out of a business It usually records cash flow on a month-by-month basis,

Trang 26for a period of two years It is an estimate of the timing and amount of a company's inflows and outflows of money measured over a specific period of time typically monthly for one to two years then annually for an additional one to three years
Cash flow per share
Cash flow per share is Earnings after taxes and depreciation, divided by the number
of a firm's shares Cash flow from operations divided by average common shares outstanding (DeAngelo, 1990) Cash flow from operations is the income for the year before extraordinary items plus non-cash expenses (such as asset write-downs)
It shows how much money from operations is available for such things as new equipment, debt repayment and dividends
Free cash flow
This shows the cash generation, including the change in working capital and investments in tangible/intangible assets and shareholdings
Cash earnings + Change in working capital = Cash flow from operating activities + Cash flow from investing activities = Free cash flow
Free cash flow measures a firm's cash flow remaining after all expenditures required
to maintain or expand the business have been paid off for example, interest payments and investments in "property, plant and equipment" (PP&E)
This is an accounting presentation showing how much of the cash generated by the business remains after both expenses (including interest) and principal repayment
on financing are paid A projected cash flow statement indicates whether the business will have cash to pay its expenses, loans, and make a profit Cash flows can be calculated for any given period of time, normally done on a monthly basis

Trang 28In finance, cash flow refers to the amounts of cash being received and spent by a business during a defined period of time, usually tied to a specific project In accounting, a cash flow projection sets out all the expected payments and receipts in
a given period Managers use cash-flow projections to arrange for employees and creditors to be paid at appropriate times
1.3 VALUATION MODELS
When deciding which model to use, the demands of the forecasting situation has to
be matched with the forecasting methods characteristics in the best way Before deciding which model to use one should ask the following questions (Copeland et
al, 2000):
What is the purpose of the model – how are the results supposed to be used?
Which variables and connections are in the system for which the forecast is conducted?
How important is the historical development in order to predict the future development?
Some of the most important factors to consider in the choice of forecast model are according to Copeland et al (2000):

Trang 30The selection of appropriate valuation methods has been the subject of extended debate over the last few years and will probably continue to be for many years to come
In almost all cases, a balance sheet will be prepared utilizing a variety of valuation methods—the selection is normally based on the nature of the item and the relevance and reliability of the method of accounting for that item The different methods give the same value at initial recognition The most common valuation models are:
Model group A: group of Net Asset Value: For an asset: the amount of cash, or its
equivalent, paid to acquire the item, commonly adjusted for depreciation or other allocation For a liability: the amount of cash, or its equivalent, received when the obligation was incurred—sometimes adjusted for amortization or other allocations
Model group B: group of Intrinsic Value: The amount of cash, or its equivalent,
that could be obtained by selling an asset in an orderly liquidation
Model group C: group of Discounted Cash Flow: For an asset: the present value of
future cash inflows into which an asset is expected to be converted in the due course
of business, less present values of cash outflows necessary to obtain those inflows For a liability: the present value of future cash outflows expected to be required to satisfy the liability in the due course of business (Kaplan & Ruback, 1995)
Model group D: group of Multiple Devices: The amount of cash, or its equivalent,
into which an asset is expected to be converted in the due course of business, less any direct costs necessary to make that conversion

Trang 32Rather than force the selection of a single method for all valuations, it is more important to acknowledge that utilization of different methods will continue in practice, and the purpose of this thesis is developing recommendations on how to select the appropriate method The key issues in determining the appropriate
method are 1 Relevance and 2.Reliability
Relevance: To be relevant, information about an item must have feedback value
and/or predictive value for users and must be timely Information is relevant if it has the capacity to make a difference in the decisions of owners, investors, creditors, or other interested parties
Reliability: To be reliable, information about an item must be representation ally
faithful, verifiable, and neutral Information is reliable if it is sufficiently consistent
in its representation of the underlying resource, obligation, or effect of events; and sufficiently free of error and bias to be useful to owners, investors, creditors, and others in making decisions
If two methods are equally relevant and reliable, then the method with the lowest cost to the preparer would probably be chosen
1.3.1 Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate at which the present value of the future cash flows of an investment equals the cost of the investment (Copeland et al, 2000) It is found by a process of trial and error; when the net present values of cash outflows (the cost of the investment) and cash inflows (returns on the investment) equal zero, the rate of discount being used is the IRR IRR indicates the business return according to alternative return that may be gained on the same investment The internal rate of return is the discount rate that will create a zero net present value In other words, the discount rate that we should enter in the Net Present Value (NPV) formula in order to get a result of NPV = 0

Trang 341.3.2 CAPM
Different from the existing cost of capital models (Arbitrage Pricing Model-APM, RiskMetrics Model- RM…), CAPM uses variable of market premium and beta to calculate cost of capital
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a model describing the relationship between expected risk and expected return for financial assets (Ross Stephen, 1977) At its simplest, it takes the form of a linear relationship:
Rj = rf + ßj (Rm – rf)
Rj is the expected return of a security
ßj is the beta of the security
Rm is the expected return of "the market", e.g the stock market
rf is the return on risk free assets
The rate of return on any asset consists of two components - the pure time value of money and the risk premium reflecting the sensitivity of the asset to changes in market returns The beta value of an asset measures its sensitivity to general market movements A model in which the cost of capital for any security or portfolio of securities equals the risk free rate plus a risk premium that is proportionate to the amount of systematic risk of the security or portfolio
A model that promotes a basis for pricing risk associated with holding securities Its essence is that rates of return are directly related to a single common factor: namely, the return on the market portfolio adjusted for non-diversifiable risk

Trang 36Figure 1.1 Securities Market Line
The Security Market Line (Figure 1.1) describes a relation between the beta and the
asset's expected rate of return
Assumptions of CAPM (Ross Stephen, 1977)
- All investors have rational expectations
- There are no arbitrage opportunities
- Returns are distributed normally
- Fixed quantity of assets
- Perfect capital markets
- Separation of financial and production sectors
- Thus, production plans are fixed
- Risk-free rates exist with limitless borrowing capacity and universal access
The capital asset pricing model is by no means a perfect theory But the spirit of CAPM is correct It provides a usable measure of risk that helps investors determine what return they deserve for putting their money at risk

Trang 381.3.3 Book Value (BV)
Book value as generally calculate as a company's common stock equity that appears
on a balance sheet (Copeland et al, 2000) Book value equals to total assets minus liabilities, preferred stock, and intangible assets such as goodwill
This is how much the company would have left over in assets if it went out of business immediately Since companies are usually expected to grow and generate more profits in the future, market capitalization is higher than book value for most companies
Since book value is a more accurate measure of valuation for companies which aren't growing quickly, book value is of more interest to value investors than growth investors (Markowitz and Harry, 1999)
1.3.4 P/E ratio (P/E)
The P/E multiple is one of the most popular multiples This multiple is calculated
by dividing the price paid for unit to earnings per share generated by the company
The price used to calculate a P/E ratio is usually the most recent price The earnings figure used is the most recently available, but this figure is often a year old and does not necessarily reflect the current position of the company Because of that, experts prefer to choose a trailing P/E, P/E that involves taking earnings from the last four quarters It is possible, however, to use the earnings estimate for the next four quarters When doing so, the ratio is referred to as a projected P/E, or forward P/E (French CW, 2003)
It is usually not enough to look at the P/E ratio of one company and determine its status Usually, an analyst will look at a company's P/E ratio compared to the industry the company is in as well as the overall market Only after a comparison with the industry, sector, and market can an analyst determine whether a P/E ratio is

Table 1.1 P/E facts
N/A A company with no earnings has an undefined P/E ratio
0-10 Either the stock is undervalued or the company's earnings are thought to be in decline
10-17 For many companies a P/E ratio in this range may be considered fair value 17-25 Either the stock is overvalued or the company's earnings have decreased since
the last earnings figure was published
25+
A company whose shares have a very high P/E either really does have an exceptionally rosy future or the stock may be the subject of a speculative bubble
(Source: Bloomberg, 2001)
This multiple can be used for IPO valuations, for assessment of the overall performance of the market, as well as for relative comparison between two firms’ profitability
1.3.5 Dividend Discount Model (DDM), Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
Valuation models, where all the future profits of the firm are specified, are called fundamental valuation models In different fundamental valuations models, the common factor is that the value of the stock is determined by the present value of the future cash flows that the firm’s activities give rise to These valuation models are usually divided into two categories, Dividend Discount Models (DDM) and Discounted Cash Flow models (DCF) The difference is that the first discounts the dividends that the firm is expected to pay its stockholders, while the second discounts the free cash flow that the firm’s activities are expected to rise (Copeland
et al, 2000)
The DCF models calculate the value of a business using its future benefits which will generate by the owners Earnings are forecast from a historical performance base in some number of future years, usually five to ten years and then discounted
