• Problem HLT affect company:
o Leverage company – uncompetitive

o U shape of WACC ratio of debt to equity – limit to how much debt, coverage ratio, downgrade – increase cost of debt, covenants
§ Turn into fallen angel – pink sheet/AIM
• EER: expected economic return
• Reverse synergies: increased costs from resulting merger
• GCBP – good company, bad price – trophy company value destructive, no synergies to offset triple digit APP
• NRS vs S: incorporates time – take years to achieve therefore discounted to PV using WACC
• CFROI: cash flow return on investment (ROE+ROA)
• ODCAP: operations defined CAP
o Target share price range derived from Internal CFs

permanently e.g. circuit city or palm
§ Perpetuity conjecture is erroneous is two ways
• Impossible life span which no company reaches
• One duration applies to all firms inflexible rule
o serial approach is alternative to perpetuity
o assume finite brief TVP period instead of perpetuity
o then Gordon formula becomes sum of period NPV calcs ending in final year of TVP
• High TV in high tech/cosmetics = high front end investment requirements plus losses in early years
o Upfront High investment at start – spend to establish technology, educate customer, create market, get momentum and market
share
o Cosmetics – advertising, endorsements, educate the customer
o First 4 years losses
• SSME = semi strong market efficiency
