This book was released on 2011 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines whether the documented negative correlation between changes in interest rates and stock returns is also observed in the fundamentals on which equity values are based. The negative correlation is often attributed to changes in the discount rate, a denominator effect in a valuation model. However, there may also be a numerator effect on the expected payoffs that are discounted, and it is this effect that the paper examines. The paper documents the effect of changes in interest rates on accounting profitability and asset growth that are tied to expected dividends and value in the residual earnings valuation model. The effects of changes in both real and nominal interest rates are investigated so that the effects of changes in expected inflation (that has been the focus of much of the research on interest rates and stock returns) are isolated. Accordingly, the paper evaluates the Modigliani and Cohn conjecture that investors do not understand the effect of changes in expected inflation on firms. The results show that both real and nominal rates are positively related to subsequent profitability and growth, at least in the near term. So, increases in interest rates are followed by higher profitability and growth. However, the resultant increase in earnings is typically not large enough to cover the increase in the required return from the increase in the interest rate. So the overall effect on equity value is negative, consistent with the results of the research on interest rates and stock returns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies have documented that stock returns are negatively related to changes in interest rates, but there has been little corroborating research on the information in interest rate changes about the fundamentals which the stock market prices. The negative correlation is often attributed to changes in the discount rate, a denominator effect in a valuation model. However, there may also be a numerator effect on the expected payoffs that are discounted. This paper shows that changes in interest rates are positively related to subsequent earnings, but the change in earnings is typically not large enough to cover the change in the required return. Hence the net (numerator and denominator) effect on equity value is negative, consistent with the results of the research on interest rates and stock returns.

Download or read book The Relationship of Interest Rates and Stock Returns written by Nargiz Nasirova and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is accepted that stock returns are influenced by numerous economic and fundamental factors. This masters thesis aims to investigate the influence of economic factors such as interest rate on stock returns. The thesis explores the theoretical aspects of stock return fluctuations and the factors that influence them, interest rates as an important economic variable, and the interrelation of interest rates and stock returns. In specific, the thesis provides empirical research which examines the relationship between interest rates and stock returns in the Austrian market for the period of October 2004 to August 2014. The empirical part includes an analysis of the effects of six interest rates on stock indices changes in Austria. The research provides empirical evidence of the presence of a positive linear relationship between several interest rates and Austrian stock returns. The explanatory power of regression models increases after adding a market variable. The difference in interest rate sensitivity of different industries is confirmed. The results of this research are in line with the results of previous studies.*****It is accepted that stock returns are influenced by numerous economic and fundamental factors.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimating the Cost of Capital Implied by Market Prices and Accounting Data focuses on estimating the expected rate of return implied by market prices, summary accounting numbers, and forecasts of earnings and dividends. Estimates of the expected rate of return, often used as proxies for the cost of capital, are obtained by inverting accounting-based valuation models. The author describes accounting-based valuation models and discusses how these models have been used, and how they may be used, to obtain estimates of the cost of capital. The practical appeal of accounting-based valuation models is that they focus on the two variables that are commonly at the heart of valuations carried out by equity analysts -- forecasts of earnings and forecasts of earnings growth. The question at the core of this monograph is -- How can these forecasts be used to obtain an estimate of the cost of capital? The author examines the empirical validity of the estimates based on these forecasts and explores ways to improve these estimates. In addition, this monograph details a method for isolating the effect of any factor of interest (such as cross-listing, fraud, disclosure quality, taxes, analyst following, accounting standards, etc.) on the cost of capital. If you are interested in understanding the academic literature on accounting-based estimates of expected rate of return this monograph is for you. Estimating the Cost of Capital Implied by Market Prices and Accounting Data provides a foundation for a deeper comprehension of this literature and will give a jump start to those who have an interest in these topics. The key ideas are introduced via examples based on actual forecasts, accounting information, and market prices for listed firms, and the numerical examples are based on sound algebraic relations.

Book excerpt: First published in 1996. The relationship between the present discounted value of future cash flows and discounted excess earnings should be viewed as a mathematical property of a double-entry book[1]keeping system based on clean surplus. The purpose of this anthology is to facilitate future research by highlighting these historical developments and by showing how more recent theoretical and empirical research fits into the earlier history. The book is divided into four sections: historical overview; analytical properties of clean surplus; the theory of the clean surplus equation; and empirical implications.

This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides valuable information and analysis to managers, policymakers, and investment counselors in the rapidly expanding field of pension funding. American workers, too, need answers and insights on how to invest their money and plan for their retirement. fifteen of America's leading financial analysts address such pressing questions as -What is the current financial status of the elderly, and how vulnerable are they to inflation? -What is the impact of inflation on the private pension system, and what are the effects of alternative indexing schemes? -What roles can the social security system play in the provision of retirement income? -What is the effect of the tax code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) on corporate pension policy? -How well funded are corporate pension plans, and is a firm's unfunded pension liability fully reflected in the market value of its common stock? Many of the conclusions these experts reach contradict and challenge popular views, thus providing fertile ground for innovation in pension planning.
