Corporate Finance
By Group 7
Corporate Governance:
All the companies more or less follow similar governance and all were dedicated
socially valued enterprises, except Hindustan Copper Ltd which has no women directors
which means, the company isn’t fully compliant with the Companies Act,2013 which
directs companies to have at least one female director
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals 10 2
Ltd
Biocon Ltd. 9 2
TATA Coffee 8 1
Current Valuation:
We tried to find out the P/E Ratios of the company and the industry P/E ratio and
compared the current valuation of the firms with respect to the industries they were
operating in. On comparing the P/E ratios we can in some sense say whether the
company is under/overvalued in terms of the industry standards..
Inference:
Undervalued stock should be preferred as the value would go up in future.
We have four pharmaceutical companies, and three are undervalued, we have good
investment opportunities.
Sectors like mining and steel and welding are overvalued, investing in this sector could
be risky.
Based on the P/E ratio investors can invest in Glenmark, Cummins, J.B. Chemicals &
Pharmaceuticals, JK Tyres, TATA Coffee, and Shilpa Medicare.
The D/E ratio is the measure that helps to measure how much the company uses its
debt to finance its operations. Higher the value of the ratio indicates higher risks to the
investors.
Inference:
● The company that is having a higher ratio makes good use of debt that it has,
this could be helpful in some tax relaxation.
● On the other hand, it is risky that if company performance is hampered due to
some reason, the company would have high time to pay its debt, therefore,
maintaining a balance.
● During this time, lower debt should be preferred to be on the safe side.
● Looking at the data, the pharmaceutical sector can actually move ahead with
increasing more debt as compared to equity.
Beta Calculation:
The market has a beta of 1 and the firm beta helps us to determine the equity value
changes, with respect to the market.
The following are the beta values as calculated taking 5-yr data,
Sl. Company Sector Beta
No
Unlevered Levered
Inference:
● If we consider unlevered beta it would give clarity about the risks assumed in the
company because of removal of debt risk.
● Higher the beta higher is the risks appetite for investors, in our case we have
Hindustan Copper and JK Tyres with the highest beta of 5.5 and 4.15
Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
A high WACC states that a firm spends a larger amount of money to raise capital,
indicating a higher level of risk, whereas companies with a low WACC acquire capital
cheaply. WACC is used as the discount rate for calculating the (NPV) of a business. A
high weighted average cost of capital, or WACC, is typically a signal of the higher risk
associated with a firm's operations. Investors tend to require an additional return to
neutralize the additional risk.
Inference:
● Hindustan Copper, Cummins, TATA Coffee and Ratnamani metal have a lower
WACC which would actually attract investors at a lower cost.
● Higher WACC can be seen as a risk and would require to compensate investors
with high returns, we have Blue Dart Express and JK Tyres Industries with the
highest WACC
Projections of EPS:
On making the 5-yr forward projections, the entire sheet is difficult to be shared in this
report. We are thereby updating the 5-Yr forward EPS that we calculated based on our
projections:
Inference:
● The absolute value of EPS depends upon the number of shares that have been
issued by the company. Therefore the EPS is likely to grow over the years
● But on comparing we can see that the percent growth of EPS is varying from
company to company and is not fixed.
PART B: Hindustan Copper Ltd
● Hindustan Copper Ltd is a miniratna central public sector Enterprise which has
integrated facilities from mining to beneficiation, smelting,refining and casting of
refined copper metal into downstream saleable products.
● It will be seen as the right step forward towards the government’s initiative of “Atma
Nirbhar Bharat” as it will make use of locally mined copper for domestic purposes.
● These copper rods will be made to international standards and measurement. Its
homogenous structure and fine grain size results in outstanding durability.
● These rods will be produced in diameters of 8,11,12.5,16 and 19mm. HCL is the
only public sector company manufacturing 19mm-diameter copper rods in India.
● The copper rods will be suitable for power and communication cables, house wire,
strips for power and distribution transformers, magnet wires, etc. Their excellent
surface finish will allow them to be used for processing enamelled, coated and
plated wires.
● The invoice price of the system is $280,000. It would require $5,000 in shipping
expenses and $15,000 in installation costs.
● The system has depreciation rates of 33% for the first year, 45% for the second
year and 15% for the third year.
● Hindustan Copper Ltd plans to use the system for four years and it is expected to
have a salvage value of $40,000 after four years of use.
● Hindustan Copper Ltd expects the new system to generate sales of 1,500 ton per
year. The company estimates that the new product will sell for $250 per ton in the
first year with a cost of $150 per ton, excluding depreciation.
● Management projects that both the sale price and the cost per unit will increase by
3% per year due to inflation
● Hindustan Copper Ltd net operating working capital would have to increase by
15% of sales revenues to produce the new product. The firm’s marginal tax rate is
40%.
Problem statement
1.) WACC - to find out whether the investment is profitable or not the first step is to
find the cost of capital. Cost of Debt is assumed at 8%.
2.) Project Profitable indicators - NPV is generally used in finding the project
feasibility, NPV deals with the reinvestment rate of intermediary cash flow.
3.) The financial goal of a firm is to maximize market value. The NPV of a project
shows its contribution to the market value of the firm
