Mini case from the book - Introduction to Corporate Finance 3rd Ed. pg 179 - Valuing stocks
Case - your investment adviser has sent you three analyst reports for a young, growing company named Vegas Chips Inc.. These reports depict the company as spectulative, but each one poses different projections of the company's future growth rate in earning and dividends. all three reports show that vegas chips earned $1.20 per share in the year just ended. There is consensus that a fair rate of return to investors for this common stock is 14% and that management expects to consistently earn a 15% return on the book value of equity (ROE = 15%).
