What multiples would you look at when valuing a bank? P/E and P/B
Would you use a DCF to value a bank?
You mentioned the use of DDM to value a bank. Walk me through a DDM model.
1. Project out the companys earnings, down to earnings per share (EPS).
2. Assume a dividend payout ratio what percentage of the EPS actually
gets paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends based on what the
firm has done historically and how much regulatory capital it needs.
3. Use this to calculate dividends over the next 5-10 years.
4. Do a check to make sure that the firm still meets its target Tier 1
Capital and other capital ratios if not, reduce dividends.
5. Discount the dividend in each year to its present value based on Cost
of Equity NOT WACC and then sum these up.
6. Calculate terminal value based on P / BV and Book Value in the final
year, and then discount this to its present value based on Cost of Equity.
7. Sum the present value of the terminal value and the present values of
the dividends to get the companys net present per-share value.
