Explanation / Answer

We shall average some of the methods of share value.

Method 1: (D/P + g) method

Dividend yield = 1.03%, Market Price of shares = $ 41.13

Since Dividend yield= (Dividend per share )x100/ Market Price , we get the equation,

1.03 = DPSx100/41.13

So, DPS = 41.13x1.03/100

Therefore DPS = .4236

Market Price = $41.13

Growth rate in Dividend (g)= 9.7

So, intrinsic value = (D/P + g )=

(.4236/41.13)x100 + 9.7

=$10.73

Method 2: Maintainable Profit approach

Step 1:We first find out the rate of return in this company

As the rate of return is not given, we take the inverse of the P/E ratio to be the rate of return:

P/ E ratio = 29.94

So, rate of return = (1/29.94)x100 = 3.34%

Step 2: We see the trend of last 3 years’ maintainable profits.

Maintainable profits= (2014,2015,2016) =148956, 235946, 287806

Sales = = 14.83 billion,14.33 billion,14.42 billion

Profit to sales % (2014,2015,2016) = 1.00%, 1.46%, 1.995%

So Net Profit % increases by about 0.5% every year- trend( though sales have been stagnant)

Projected maintainable Profit=2% approx of projected sales 14.35billion=287,000

Step 3: Capitalise maintainable Profit on rate of return.

Total Share value = maintainable Profit/ Rate of return .As Rate of return=3.34%,

= 287000/3.34% =$8592814

Step 4: Divide share value by no of shares

Assume 1 share of 10$ , since the market capitalisation = $10.128billion, number of shares=1012800 shares

Intrinsic Share value= 8592814/1012800= $8.48
