Discount Rate Sensitivity ! Traditionally use risk free rate of
10 year CGB (current 2.83%) ! But declining risk free rates
boost valuations.
! Rising rates may make projects and investments uneconomic in the future
Impact of Falling Interest rates
19
! Falling rates combined with quantitative easing have stimulated demand for hard assets globally
! Declining risk free rates boost valuations.
! Rising rates may make current projects and investments uneconomic in the future
Valuing Stocks in a Low Rate Environment
20
! Recognise that current ultra low rates are unlikely to be permanent ! Use a more conservative risk free rate ! Factor in a higher cost of debt
! Don’t rely on a single valuation methodology, value based on a blend
