Valuation Methodologies
Market Approach• Guideline Publicly Traded Company Method• Guideline Merged and Acquired Company Method
Income Approach» Capitalization of Earnings/Cash Flow Analysis (Gordon Growth Model)
» Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF)
» Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
Asset-Based Approach
11
Method of Valuation Adopted
We are using here Capitalization of Earnings/Cash Flow Analysis (Gordon Growth Model) method under Income Approach to value the business of Bajaj Auto Ltd.
Reason for using Gordon Growth Model under Income Approach
Bajaj Auto Ltd. being a publicly traded company and assuming to be perpetual in nature, capitalization on Income based on a particular discount rate and growth rate is best suited for the company. Asset Based Approach is typically not a suitable method for valuing going concern operating companies as this method does not provide values for goodwill and other intangible assets. Further Market value of Assets is not easily available. Although Market approach is a good method to value a company but considering its complexity, Income approach has been selected to value Bajaj Auto Ltd.
12
Capitalization of Earnings Approach
– Single Period Discounted Cash Flow Analysis– Simplest for Companies with Stable Growth– Next Year Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF)– Next Year Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)– Apply Appropriate Discount Rate
Value =
CF = Free Cash Flow(FCFF or FCFE)
r = Discount RateCost of Capital orCost of Equity
g = Expected Growth Rate

Estimating Growth Rate
Growth rate has been estimated based on the past trends of Bajaj Auto Ltd, the calculation of which is shown below:-
March’10 being an odd year, has not been considered in estimating growth rate. Further, growth rate being negative sometimes, hence geometric mean cannot be used, hence arithmetic mean has been adopted.
14
Estimating Cost of Equity
CAPM method has been followed to cost of Equity which is as follows:
Re= Rf + (Rm-Rf)*BeWhereRf=Risk Free rate= 7.5%Rm=Market Return= 13%Be= Beta of Bajaj Auto= 1.1
Therefore,Re= 7.5 + (13.-7.5)*1.1= 13.55%

Estimating Free Cash Flow For Equity (FCFE)
Relevant Extracts from Balance Sheet and P/L Statement of Bajaj Auto.
FCFE Calculation
Note : Bajaj Auto is almost an zero leverage firm with no secured loans and unsecured loans amounts to 1 % of the shareholder’s fund. Hence debt value has been ignored.
16
Value of Firm based on FCFE Approach
Value = FCFE (1+g) Re-g = 2898(1+0.06) 0.1355-0.06 =Rs. 40687.15 Crores
17
Market capitalization V/s Firm Value
No. of outstanding shares of Bajaj Auto= 28.93 crore
Average Market price : 1900Market Capitalization : 1900*28.93= Rs.
54967 crore
Value as per our calculation : 40687.15 crore
Its seem that Bajaj Auto shares are overpriced. Hence going short on Bajaj Auto will be beneficial.

Limitation to valuation
Valuation is not a one day job. A correct valuation can only be done after through analysis of the operations of the firm. Merely relying on the public available data may give biased results.
Traditional methods of valuation may not work in all types of firms. It depends upon the industry the firm is in.
Projections are not guarantees; unforeseen future events can cause income or earnings projections to be completely invalid.
Reliance on past earnings may ignore potential future growth.
May understate value for firms using aggressive strategies to reduce taxable income.

Conclusion
Valuation plays a key role in many areas of finance -- in corporate finance, in mergers and acquisitions and in portfolio management. Valuation is not an objective exercise, and any preconceptions and biases that an analyst brings to the process will find their way into the value.
