...PERFORMANCE OF VALUE VS. GROWTH STOCKS: EVIDENCE FROM INTERNATIONAL MARKETS Zugang Liu, Pennsylvania State University Hazleton, USA Jia Wang, Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ, USA ABSTRACT This paper studies the long-term risk and return characteristics of value stocks versus growth stocks for three international markets: Asia, Scandinavia, and Europe. We focus on the downside of returns and use Value at Risk as our risk measure. We find that value stocks outperform growth stocks in terms of both risks and returns across all time horizons for all three markets. We further conduct cross country analysis. Interestingly, we find that there is some risk and return trade off in short term investment horizon across the three countries. When investment horizon lengthens, Scandinavian market has the best performance in both risks and returns for both value and growth indexes. Keywords: Value, Growth, Risk, Time Horizon 1. INTRODUCTION Value or growth? This is an age old debate in the investment world. Value style stock commonly refers to a stock that is undervalued relative to its fundamentals (i.e. dividends, earnings, sales, etc) and often has a low market to book ratio, a high dividend yield or a low P/E ratio. Growth style stocks are often shares from companies that are expected to grow at a higher than average rate and such stocks often have high market to book ratios, low dividend yields or high P/E ratios. Which one is more profitable? Basu (1977), among others, reports that value portfolios...

Since managers are “agents” of shareholders, their goal should be: Maximize stock price. 4 Classified Stock Classified stock has special provisions. Could classify existing stock as founders’ shares, with voting rights but dividend restrictions. New shares might be called “Class A” shares, with voting restrictions but full dividend rights. 5 Tracking Stock The dividends of tracking stock are tied to a particular division, rather than the company as a whole. Investors can separately value the divisions. Its easier to compensate division managers with the tracking stock. But tracking stock usually has no voting rights, and the financial disclosure for the division is not as regulated as for the company. 6 Different...

...diversification. For instance, equities have many representations in the mutual fund world. Variants or subclasses refer to more granular characteristics of the asset class. Here are some examples: Equities can vary according to: * the size of companies represented in a “basket” (e.g. large vs medium vs small cap stocks) * the way the stocks’ prices move as the stocks chart their growth (e.g. growth vs value stocks) * the geographical market in which the stock moves (e.g. domestic vs international) Bonds can vary according to: * their maturity dates (e.g. short term vs long term bonds) * their level of risk (e.g. junk bonds, anyone?) * who issues the bond (e.g. government vs corporate) * how they pay out Cash vehicles vary mostly according to rates of return and level of security offered, which are usually characteristics that are inversely proportional to each other. Generally, within the investment world, the higher the rate of return, the less stable the fund value is expected to be. Tip: You can find additional diversification down to the class variant level from mutual fund institutitions, Treasury Direct, or online stock brokers who can assist with giving you more information. Try Morningstar as well to help you with more details on this topic. Note though that most of the time, you don’t really need to seek this kind of detailed representation to achieve a well diversified portfolio, as positions in basic asset classes...

...shares is called Stock. The person who owns a stock is a shareholder. The major shareholders of the corporation elect board of directors. The shareholders would not have direct control because, in a corporation, direct control and ownership are often separate. Board of directors makes rules on how the corporation should run and delegates the decision making to corporate management team. The Corporate management team will consists of Chief executive officer (CEO) and Chief financial officer (CFO). The main important job of a financial managers is to make best decision to increase the value of the company which would increase the value of stock invested by the investors. Corporation would also make invest on other big corporations to increase their value. The chief financial officer takes responsibility for making those financial investment decisions on other companies by purchasing those company’s stocks. There are two options of stock available in the stock market which is Value and Growth stock. Value stocks are usually low price to earnings ratio and low price to book ratio. Sometimes a company may have weak temporary earnings and had fallen on bad times. Sometimes poor quarterly earnings depress the company’s stock price temporarily and create a long-term stock buying option. Many investors look for these corporations called as Margin as Safety which means the market has discounted the price of the stock more than its intrinsic value, the present value of its future cash...

...Goode-Middleton MBA 570 Growth Stock and Value Stocks March 21, 2015 Purchasing stock makes investors part owners in the corporation. The stock purchased is an equity investment in the company. This makes the owner of the stock entitled to returns on their investment. When making stock investment decisions, there are two main stock types to consider investing in called value stocks and growth stocks. The goal of both stock types is to gain the best returns possible. However, they differ in characteristics. Value stock is defined as, a stock that tends to trade at a lower price relative to its fundamentals and thus considered undervalued by a value investor. Common characteristics of such stock include a high dividend yield, low price-to-book ratio and/or low price to earnings ratio (Investopedia, 2015, para. 1). Value stock investors are looking for stocks that are not reflecting their fundamental worth. The reasons for the stock being undervalued can be many. A company’s stock can be undervalue because it is experiences difficulties, its industry can be in decline or it can have a period of poor quarterly earnings. These are a few of the reasons why the stock can be undervalued. In general, value funds focus on perceived safety rather than growth, often investing in mature companies that are primarily using their earnings to pay dividends. As a result, value funds tend to produce more current income than growth funds, although the also...

...provided in the case, but we did assume a reduction in the interest rate back to the 7.25% for the current loan in 2012, when the Notes Payable to Accounts Receivable ratio falls back below the 70% threshold. One concern not discussed in the case is the relative growth of Flash Memory vs. the SSD category. Based on the information provided, we estimate Flash’s share of the market at 15% in 2007 which rapidly declines to an estimated 2% by 2013. This underscores Flash Memory’s need to accelerate top line growth to remain a significant player in the market. The forecast balance sheet (Exhibit 2) shows the account balances for Flash Memory assuming they do not invest in the new product line. The financing requirements in 2010, 2011 and 2012 are $14,433, $17,120 and $13,228 respectively. This increase in debt levels has changed the capital structure of the firm over time, increasing debt as a percentage of capital from 28% in 2007 to as high as 39% by 2011 (vs. a target of 18%). We calculated WACC for both scenarios - funding by increasing notes payable or by the issuance of stock. For the notes funding, we assumed a 9.25% cost of debt (loan rate of 3.25% prime + 6%) and a forward looking 2010-2012 average forecast debt/value ratio of 41%, resulting in a WACC of 10.11% (Exhibit 3). For the equity funding, we assumed a 7.25% cost of debt (loan rate of 3.25% prime + 4%) and the target debt-to-capital ratio of 18%, resulting in a WACC of 11.67% (Exhibit 4). The proposed investment...
