FIN369 Investment Analysis Deliverable Template Fall 2021 Please answer the following items in your deliverable for your assigned company. This project’s main deliverable should not exceed 8 pages, front & back, 12 font, double spaced (although you may include an appendix of any length). To simplify this assignment, you may want to follow the following template provided below …. Please, do not wait until the last days of that week to begin this deliverable as I believe you will find it too much to complete in a single setting. Please see the syllabus for the due date. 1) Provide a short paragraph suggesting the story that is being told by the historical fundamentals – for example, profitability, growth, abundant free cash, etc. 2) Highlight the abbreviated forecast of the next five-year DCF or FCFF forecasts (i.e., year by year) and the normalized, constant growth calculation for forecast years 6 to infinity. Explain your assumptions. 3) Provide a DCF or FCFF model-based valuation range, explaining in brief your inputs. This range will serve as an “absolute valuation” metric and will be calculated by discounting your individual five-year FCFF forecasts by a realistic WACC, discounting the constant growth by the WACC, subtracting out debt and dividing by shares outstanding. Highlight this absolute valuation range. 4) Provide historical 10-year price/earnings, price/book, and price/sales charts, commenting on today’s relative valuation AND providing the forecasted P/E, etc. metrics that you selected to use in your forecasts. For example, substantiate your P/E ratio and earnings per share forecast inputs that will provide your P/E valuation. This “relative valuation” will serve as range value inputs for your final valuation range. Highlight this relative valuation range. Note: The DCF absolute value range will be combined with the P/metric relative value ranges to form a “final range of value”. For example, if the DCF suggests $37-38/share and the P/metrics suggest $34–37, your valuation range – combining the absolute and relative values – would be $34–38/share. 5) Discuss the important “systematic factors” (value, growth, capitalization, quality, momentum, inflation, interest rates, industrial production, etc.) that you believe will drive this security’s return, explaining why you chose to include the ones that you did. You may wish to supply a simple regression to prove your point (hint)…. 6) Discuss the important “fundamentals” (profitability, growth, cash flows, etc.) that you believe will drive this security’s future return, explaining why you chose the ones that you did. Comment on the “embedded expectations” that you believe the market is focusing on (recall that any good analysis is about understanding the embedded expectations in the market price and how those expectations will change so as to drive a higher or lower price in the future). 7) Given your analysis, would you recommend a buy or a sell on this equity security? Explain your recommendation in a “summary paragraph” that you would provide as an executive summary with your employer. Highlight this in a single paragraph, seeking to make sure it is an accurate and complete storyline of your analysis. 8) Provide the duration, convexity, and yield to maturity of any fixed income instrument of this company that matures after 2025. Use any excel, Bloomberg, etc., highlighting the inputs that you used. 9) Provide the Black-Scholes valuation of any option of this company that expires within the next 12 months (please be sure to provide your inputs as well as a brief discussion of your volatility assumptions). Briefly compare your valuation (V) to that last price (P) traded in the market. Explain what you would do with this information.

Question 1.
When a person's annual wage exceeds his total current expenditures, he decides to save the surplus rather
than retain the money; the person may consider it is wiser to give up immediate ownership of the money in return
for increased future spending. The market of current consumption for a higher level of future consumption is at
the heart of investing.
As a result, financing is essentially a current mutual fund for a specific period to generate an upcoming
flow of capitals that will subsequently compensate the investment manager for the time value of coinage, the
expected level of increase over the venture's lifetime, that deliver a desirable first-class for the risk associated
with this impending funding.
The total return on bond funds should be compared. The anticipated return variance is a measurement of how far
actual returns differ from the forecast value. When anything else is equal, the bigger the dispersion of possibilities
and the bigger the unpredictability, or risk, of the purchase, the greater the variance. The variance is used to
calculate and analyze the risk involved with a particular business.
Question 2.
In a Reduced Cash Flow (DCF) analysis, the current Worth of a benefit's predictable cash flows represents
the strength's worth. The basic ground of DCF is that each quality has a fundamental price that can be determined
using cash flow, inflation, and risk factors. By far, the most used solo valuation approach is the DCF model. To
utilize DCF estimation, we should guesstimate the following: the lifespan of the asset, the financials that will
occur throughout that timescale, and the discount rate that will be used to these currency flows to arrive at the net
current.
The Current Worth of an asset is computed through summing the quantiles of all anticipated upcoming
monetary movements generated by its utilization. Mathematically,

Question 3.
The anticipated forthcoming net currency flow is the after-tax money movement from maneuvers on an
capitalized investment foundation, less the amount of net operating cash flows and capital ventures in capital
assets of the marketplace or firm. The concession rate typically reflects the riskiness of the predicted cash flows.
