A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for THE  RISK PREMIUM FACTOR

"Stephen Hassett is onto something. His notion that the risk premium on stocks is not constant, but varies with the risk free rate, helps to explain an enduring puzzle: why actual stock prices vary from the estimates that analysts′ models imply. This book will offer fresh and provocative insight to careful students of the stock market. Read it and grow wiser." Robert F. Bruner, Dean and Charles C. Abbott Professor of Business Administration, Darden Graduate School of Business, University of Virginia

"The equity risk premium is a key input to the cost of capital. During periods of economic stability, practitioners typically used an estimate of the long–term average equity risk premium, typically adjusting the estimate once a year. But all that changed as the crisis in late 2008 unfolded. In these uncertain economic times, we have found the Risk Premium Factor Valuation Model to be a powerful tool for adjusting our equity risk premium estimate as we move through the rapidly changing business cycle. We recommend that practitioners use the Risk Premium Factor Valuation Model to better understand the economic interrelationships that drive the pricing of the broad stock market and the equity risk premium." Roger J. Grabowski, Managing Director, Duff & Phelps LLC and coauthor of Cost of Capital: Applications and Examples

"Understanding and accurately estimating the cost of capital is fundamental to making decisions that create value. Stephen Hassett′s Risk Premium Factor Valuation Model provides an easy–to–understand approach to estimating the cost of equity capital that is accessible and insightful to those with a basic understanding of finance and expert practitioners alike. Further, it demystifies the drivers of market valuation and provides a compelling and often under–appreciated linkage between growth and stock price. It will enrich the perspective of any investor or manager." David M. Kostel, Managing Director and Co–Head of Healthcare Mergers & Acquisitions, Credit Suisse

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A radical, definitive explanation of the link between loss aversion theory, the equity risk premium and stock price, and how to profit from it

The Risk Premium Factor presents and proves a radical new theory that explains the stock market, offering a quantitative explanation for all the booms, busts, bubbles, and multiple expansions and contractions of the market we have experienced over the past half–century.

Written by Stephen D. Hassett, a corporate development executive, author and specialist in value management, mergers and acquisitions, new venture strategy, development, and execution for high technology, SaaS, web, and mobile businesses, the book convincingly demonstrates that the equity risk premium is proportional to long–term Treasury yields, establishing a connection to loss aversion theory.

• Explains stock prices from 1960 through the present including the 2008/09 "market meltdown"
• Shows how the S&P 500 has consistently reverted to values predicted by the model
• Solves the equity premium puzzle by showing that it is consistent with findings on loss aversion
• Demonstrates that three factors drive valuation and stock price: earnings, long term growth, and interest rates

Understanding the stock market is simple. By grasping the simplicity, business leaders, corporate decision makers, private equity, venture capital, professional, and individual investors will fully understand the system under which they operate, and find themselves empowered to make better decisions managing their businesses and investment portfolios.
