Static "Geared" Valuation Methods (1)
Price per share relative to Earnings per share, the so-called "PER"
Pros:
"Simple" (no adjustments needed)
Widely used because they are "simple"
Cons:
Misleading due to lack of comparability
Different accounting philosophies (shareholder focus versus tax
authorities)
Gearing affects P/E ratios (PER)
USD million Company A Company B
Market Capitalisation 100 50
Level of debt 0 50
Cost of debt (interest rate p.a.) 12% 12%
Earnings before interests and taxes (EBIT) 10 10
Net interest 0 6
Pre-tax profit (PTP) 10 4
Taxes (@ 35%) 3.5 1.4
Net profit 6.5 2.6
Static "Geared" Valuation Methods (2)
Price per share relative to Cash Flow per share, so-called "P/CF"
Pros:
More accurate cross-company comparability within a sector (assuming similar capital structures)
More accurate assessment of "cash" operating performance
Cons:
Not as widely used due to lack of information that spots "cash" from "non-cash" items
Insufficiently accounts for minority interests, capital requirements and is even more sensitive to "gearing" than a PER
Static "De-Geared" Valuation Methods (1)
Enterprise Value (EV) relative to "Revenues" per share
Pros:
Values assets of a company by looking at the whole enterprise (hence the term "enterprise value") independent of the capital structure of the company (which is different from just looking at "equity" in the case of geared valuation methods); (known as Proposition 1 by Miller and Modigliani)
Allows for a distinction between a company's "core" and "non-core" assets (widely used by so-called "company raiders")
Cons:
Imperfections of markets mean that companies are not always able to
restructure their balance sheet at will or at negligible cost
Strong assumptions built into EV methodology: tax neutrality between
Static "De-Geared" Valuation Methods (2)
Enterprise Value (EV) = Market Capitalisation + Value of net debt
(average for the year) - Estimated Value of "non-core" assets
Pros:
Removes the often significant distortion due to different capital structures
Allows to value individual businesses
Cons:
Not as widely used due to adjustments needed ("can not be easily commanded on traditional financial services such as Bloomberg")
Sometimes difficult assumptions needed to value non-core businesses
Dynamic Valuation Method - DCF
Discounted Cash Flow Model
Pros:
Allows valuation of companies with no near-term sustainable cash flow streams (or even loss making companies, i.e. biotechnology)
Appropriate for businesses with discretionary cost structures and long
product cycles, such as pharmaceuticals
Cons:
A large part of the NPV is driven by the growth rates in the terminal
value which are difficult to predict
Many businesses do not lend themselves to the long-term predictions
needed for a DCF model (though pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies do)

Relative Earnings Multiples (geared or de-geared) Can Be Misleading
because:
Much of a stock's value is driven by future drug revenues, which are difficult to predict accurately
A. they tend to penalize innovative companies since they are the ones that
have to absorb the high cost of large-scale clinical studies and market introduction;
B. they favor companies that lack new product flow, not least as profitability
measures tend to rise in the short term due to a lack of (product) investment opportunities
Furthermore, relative valuation multiples do not take into account important
quality differences because "growth is not simply growth" and only
sustainable growth driven by new products determines valuations in the sector.
