November 19th, 2008

Goodman Fielder ($GFF.NZ) is an ASX and NZX listed manufacturer and supplier of consumer food products. $GFF.NZ is trading toward the bottom of their 52-week range. How is this in relation to the intrinsic value of the company’s shares?

Valuecruncher valuation model of $GFF.NZ with interactive assumptions

Valuecruncher produces a valuation of A$1.71 for $GFF.NZ. This is a current valuation (an estimate of intrinsic value using a discounted cash flow model) not a target price. This valuation is 11.0% above the current share price of A$1.54. All of the figures below are in Australian dollars (A$).

Assumptions

  • Revenue: Reuters aggregates seven analysts covering $GFF.NZ and the mean estimates of 2009 revenues are A$2.77 billion. For our analysis we have used A$2.75 billion in 2009, A$2.85 billion in 2010 and A$3.0 billion in 2011.
  • Profitability: We have used an EBITDA margin of 14.5% in 2009 rising to 15.5% in 2011. Reuters don’t list an EBITD margin for $GFF.NZ.
  • Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of A$90.0 million in 2009, A$120 million in 2010, A$85 million in 2011 and then A$75 million per annum moving forward.
  • Discount Rate: 9.0%. The PwC New Zealand cost of capital report does not list $GFF.NZ but has the wider New Zealand market at 9.5%. We believe a discount rate in the 8-10% range is appropriate. We have chosen the middle of this range.
  • Terminal Growth Rate: 1.0%.

Our analysis incorporates the cash and debt on the $GFF.NZ balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.

Stock Of The Week - Rakon ($RAK.NZ)

November 17th, 2008

This week we want to try something new. We want to put some analysis in your hands this week. We are going to try a new feature on the blog - “Stock Of The Week“.

This is how it will work. We are going to identify a stock on Monday (today), provide some information around that stock (but not a valuation) and ask the readers of this blog to complete valuations of the company (using the Valuecruncher valuation tool). On Friday we will look at all the valuations completed for the company and provide our take on the valuation of the company.

Remember - you can be completely anonymous with the analysis. We won’t be making fun of any valuations - we want to hear what people think. We are keen to tap the wisdom of the crowd.

If you are looking for a quick tutorial on how to complete a valuation - here is an example using Microsoft.

Stock Of The Week

We have decided to start with a New Zealand stock this week. Rakon ($RAK.NZ) is a New Zealand-based designer and manufacturer of high-performance frequency control technology. Valuecruncher completed a valuation of the company at the end of October.

Since we completed our valuation the stock has dropped 39% on the back of rough financial results and guidance on future potential financial performance. We thought it was time to get some thoughts from you on what could happen next - and what that means for valuation.

Resources To Assist

Our valuation from the end of October is a good starting point. It gives a view of $RAK.NZ using information from analysts at that time. It is a solid starting point for inputs like discount rates, terminal growth rates and tax. Since that valuation $RAK.NZ has released information about their last six-months of performance and expectations moving forward. This presentation (especially slide 3) gives a good summary of where the company is at today. Some of this information could certainly feed into a new valuation. Finally here is the media take on the $RAK result.

So what do you think? Does the current share price of NZ$1.11 mean the shares look overvalued, undervalued or about right? Complete a valuation - and write some comments on your assumptions. At the end of this week we will review the view of the crowd and add our take.

As always the starting point is the $RAK.NZ company page - Here.
