Investing in Stocks: How Stocks are Sold
 Organized exchanges
─ NYSE is best known, began trading in 1792. 24 brokers began trading a few stocks on
Wall Street.
─ “Organized” used to imply a specific trading location. But computer systems (ECNs)
have replaced this idea.
─ Others include the ASE (US), and Nikkei, LSE, DAX (international)
─ Listing requirements exclude small firms

Warren Buffett said that he


lived for 89 years old also have
not seen this scene when
March 8, the fist “circuit
breaker” happens.

11 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot
Investing in Stocks: How Stocks are Sold
 Over-the-counter markets
─ Best example is NASDAQ
─ Dealers stand ready to make a market
─ Today, about 3,000 different securities are listed on NASDAQ.
─ Important market for thinly-traded securities—securities that don’t trade very often.
Without a dealer ready to make a market, the equity would be difficult to trade.

12 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Investing in Stocks: Organized vs. OTC
 Organized exchanges (e.g., NYSE)
─ Auction markets with floor specialists
─ 25% of trades are filled directly by specialist
─ Remaining trades are filled through SuperDOT
 Over-the-counter markets (e.g., NASDAQ)
─ National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
─ Multiple market makers set bid and ask prices
─ Multiple dealers for any given security

13 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Investing in Stocks: ATSs and MTFs
 Alternative trading systems (ATSs)
 Multilateral trading facilities (MTFs)
 ATSs and MTFs consist of Electronic Communications Networks (ECNs)
 ECNs allow brokers and traders to trade without the need of the middleman.
They provide:
• Transparency: everyone can see unfilled orders
• Cost reduction: smaller spreads
• Faster execution
• After-hours trading

14 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Investing in Stocks: ECNs
However, ECNs are not without their drawbacks:
 Don’t work as well with thinly-traded stocks
 Many ECNs competing for volume, which can be confusing
 Major exchanges are fighting ECNs, with an uncertain outcome

Dark Pool
 A dark pool is a private financial forum or exchange for trading securities. dark pools
are not accessible by the investing public.
 Non-exchange trading accounting for about 40% of all U.S. stock trades in 2014 (15%
from Dark pools).
 They are mostly used by institutional investors for block trades involving a large
number of securities.
 As of Feb 2020, there were >50 dark pools in the U.S.

17 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Types of Dark Pools
 Broker-dealer owned: These dark pools are set up by large broker-dealers for their
clients.
 Examples Goldman Sachs’ Sigma X, Citi’s Citi Match and Citi Cross, and Morgan Stanley’s MS Pool.
 Agency broker or exchange-owned: These are dark pools that act as agents, not as
principals. As prices are derived from exchanges
 Examples of agency broker dark pools include Instinet,, while exchange-owned dark pools include
NYSE Euronext.
 Electronic market makers: These are dark pools offered by independent operators
like Getco and Knight.

18 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Dark Pools: Pros and Cons
 Reduced market impact/Avoidance of  Exchange prices may not reflect the
price devaluation real market
 Lower transaction costs  Pool participatns may not get the best
price
 Private trading
 Vulnerability to predatory trading by
HFTs
 Small average trade size reduces need
for dark pools (averaged 187 shares per
HSBC: StockMax
in 2013
trade)

19 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


ECNs vs Dark Pool
 ECNs are a type of ATS that trade listed stocks and other exchange-traded products.
 Unlike dark pools, another type of ATS, ECNs display order in the consolidated
quote stream.
 As ATSs, ECNs are required to register with the Commission as broker-dealers and
are also members of FINRA.
 Examples of ECNs: Instinet, SelectNet, and NYSE Arca.

ECNs vs Dark Pool
 To place orders directly with an ECN, a person must be an ECN subscribers.
 Typically, only broker-dealers and certain institutional traders are permitted to
become ECN subscribers.
 Individual investors must have an account with a broker-dealer subscriber to place an
order on an ECN.

https://www.sec.gov/answers/ecn.htm
22 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot
ATSs vs Exchanges
 Although both exchanges and ATSs provide marketplaces for buyers and sellers to
transact in securities, ATSs do not necessarily provide public information on the best
prices available to traders within their system.
 They also do not set rules governing the conduct of subscribers and they perform
no self-regulation, while exchanges perform all of these functions.
 Additionally, because ATSs are regulated as broker-dealers, they comply with a
different set of regulations than traditional exchanges.

27 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Computing the Price of Common Stock
 Valuing common stock is, in theory, no different from valuing debt securities:
─ determine the cash flows
─ discount them to the present
 We will review four different methods for valuing stock, each with its
advantages and drawbacks.

28 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Computing the Price of Common Stock: The One-Period
Valuation Model
 Simplest model, just taking using the expected dividend and price over the
next year.

 What is the price for a stock with an expected dividend and price next year
of $0.16 and $60, respectively? Use a 12% discount rate.

29 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Computing the Price of Common Stock: The Generalized
Dividend Valuation Model
 Most general model, but the infinite sum may not converge.

 Rather than worry about computational problems, we use a simpler version,


known as the Gordon growth model.

30 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Estimating Dividends: Special Cases
 Constant dividend
 The firm will pay a constant dividend forever
 This is like preferred stock
 The price is computed using the perpetuity formula
 Constant dividend growth
 The firm will increase the dividend by a constant percent every
period
 Supernormal growth
 Dividend growth is not consistent initially, but settles down to
constant growth eventually

 P0 is the ex-dividend price of the stock
 The stock price immediately after paying
the current dividend! (This is also true
for any Pt)
 The stock price does not depends on how
long an investor is going to keep the stock.
 We implicitly assume that corporations will
not go bankrupt in the future.
 Why are shares of stock in companies that
currently pay no dividends traded at
positive prices? For example, BioTech firms.

38 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Computing the Price of Common Stock: The Gordon
Growth Model
The model is useful, with the following assumptions:
 Dividends do, indeed, grow at a constant rate forever
 The growth rate of dividends, g, is less than the required return on the equity,
ke.

39 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Remarks
 How can g ever be assumed to be constant?

40 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Remarks
 How can we assume that r > g ?

41 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Computing the Price of Common Stock: The Generalized
Dividend Valuation Model
 The price earnings ratio (PE) is a widely watched measure of much the market
is willing to pay for $1.00 of earnings from the firms.

 If the industry PE ratio for a firm is 16, what is the current stock price for a
firm with earnings for $1.13 / share?
Answer:
Price = 16  $1.13 = $18.08

46 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


How the Market Sets Security Prices
 Generally speaking, prices are set in competitive markets as the price set by
the buyer willing to pay the most for an item.
 The buyer willing to pay the most for an asset is usually the buyer who can
make the best use of the asset.
 Superior information can play an important role.

 Short-term: Demand & Supply


 Long-term: Fundamental

47 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


How the Market Sets Security Prices
 Consider the following three valuations for a stock with certain dividends but
different perceived risk:

 Bud, who perceives the lowest risk, is willing to pay the most and will
determine the “market” price.

48 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Errors in Valuation

Although the pricing models are useful, market participants frequently


encounter problems in using them. Any of these can have a significant impact
on price in the Gordon model P=D/(r-g).
• Problems with Estimating Growth
• Problems with Estimating Risk
• Problems with Forecasting Dividends

49 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Errors in Valuation: Dividend growth rates

Constant Growth Rates as Listed

50 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Errors in Valuation: Required returns

51 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Errors in Valuation
Security valuation is not an exact science!
Considering different growth rates, required rates, etc., is important in
determining if a stock is a good value as an investment.

Case: The 2007–2009 Financial Crisis and the Stock Market
 The financial crisis, which started in August 2007, was the start of one of
the worst bear markets.
 The crisis lowered “g” in the Gordon Growth model - driving down prices.
 Also impacts ke - higher uncertainty increases this value, again lowering
prices.
 The expectations were still optimistic at the start of the crisis. But, as the
reality of the severity of the crisis was understood, prices plummeted.

53 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Case: 9/11, Enron and the Market

 Both 9/11 and the Enron scandal were events in 2001.


 Both should lower “g” in the Gordon Growth model - driving down prices.
 Also impacts ke - higher uncertainty increases this value, again lowering
prices.
 We did observe in both cases that prices in the market fell. And
subsequently rebounded as confidence in US markets returned.

Stock Market Indexes
 Stock market indexes are
frequently used to monitor the
behavior of a groups of stocks.
 Major indexes include the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, the S&P
500, and the NASDAQ composite.

Stock Market Indexes
 $1.00 invested in the DJIA back in 1980 (DJIA was around 800) would have
grown to about $16.40 in 2012 (Dow closed year at 13,104). This represented
an annual growth rate around 8.8%.

 What’s annual growth rate if Down closed in year 2023 at 37689.54?

Hang Seng Index
 The Hang Seng Index ("HSI") is one of the earliest stock market
indexes in Hong Kong. Publicly launched on 24 November 1969, the
HSI has become the most widely quoted indicator of the performance of
the Hong Kong stock market.
 To better reflect the price movements of major industry sectors of the
market, HSI constituent securities are grouped into 4 sectors including
Finance, Utilities, Properties, and Commerce and Industry Sub-indexes.

60 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Buying Foreign Stocks
 Buying foreign stocks is useful from a diversification perspective. However, the
purchase may be complicated if the shares are not traded in the U.S or your
home country.
 American depository receipts (ADRs) allow foreign firms to trade on U.S.
exchanges, facilitating their purchase. U.S. banks buy foreign shares and issue
receipts against the shares in U.S. markets.

61 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Designing a Strategy to Source Equity Globally (refer to Citibank ADR
guide)
 Depositary receipts (depositary shares) are negotiable certificates issued by a
bank to represent the underlying shares of stock, which are held in trust at a
foreign custodian bank.
 American depository receipts (ADRs) are certificates traded in the United States
and denominated in US dollars.
 ADRs are sold, registered, and transferred in the US in the same manner as
any share of stock with each ADR representing some multiple of the
underlying foreign share. (China Mobile, 1 ADR=5 shares)

62 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Mechanics of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)

63 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


ADR vs ADS
• An American depositary receipt (ADR) allows foreign companies to list their
shares on U.S. stock exchanges.
• An American depositary share (ADS) is the U.S. dollar-denominated equity
share of a foreign-based company available for purchase on an American stock
exchange.
• The entire issuance is called an American Depositary Receipt (ADR), and the
individual shares are referred to as ADS.

64 FINA3010 Chapter 13 H.W. Kot


Designing a Strategy to Source Equity Globally
 ADRs can be exchanged for the underlying foreign shares, or vice versa, so
arbitrage keeps foreign and US prices of any given share the same after
adjusting for transfer costs.
 While ADRs are quoted only in US dollars and traded only in the US, Global
Registered Shares (GRSs) can be traded on equity exchanges around the globe
in a variety of currencies.
 May not list on home market, like Baidu, Alibaba.

sponsors a DR programme, it enters into a
contractual agreement with the depositary bank.

A DR programme may also be "unsponsored",


meaning that it is set up without the company's
participation or even its consent.

A depositary will typically establish an unsponsored


DR programme only if it believes that there is
sufficient interest in the company's shares to
generate adequate fee income, or if a broker-dealer
has requested such a programme and agreed to
assist with the expense.

Cross-listing and reverse cross-listing: The role of national culture
Hung Wan Kot, Liang Shao, and Lewis H.K. Tam (2024)
 Using global Initial Public Offering data from 1990 to 2014, we
study the role of Hofstede’s national culture characteristics on
firms’ cross-listing decisions.
 The results reveal that firms located in countries with high
individualism, low uncertainty avoidance, and low power
distance are more likely to cross-list in overseas markets.
 We further find that cultural factors could play different roles
in the emerging markets and developed markets.
 In emerging markets, firms from countries with low
individualism and low masculinity are more likely to cross-list in
overseas markets.
 Firms from countries with low uncertainty avoidance are more
likely to reverse cross-list in home markets, especially in firms
from developed markets.
