Firm value, risk, and growth opportunities

چکیده
We show that Tobin's q, as proxied by the ratio of the firm's market value to its book value, increases with the firm's systematic equity risk and falls with the firm's unsystematic equity risk. Further, an increase in the firm's total equity risk is associated with a fall in q. The negative relation between the change in total risk and the change in q is robust through time for the whole sample, but it does not hold for the largest firms.

Growth Opportunities, Investment-Specific Technology Shocks and the Cross-Section of Expected Returns∗
The market value of a firm can be decomposed into two fundamental parts: the value of assets in place and the value of future growth opportunities. We propose a theoreticallymotivated procedure for measuring heterogeneity in growth opportunities across firms. We identify firms with high growth opportunities based on the covariance of their stock returns with the investment-specific productivity...

متن کاملA Theory of Firm Characteristics and Stock Returns: The Role of Investment-Specific Shocks∗
We provide a theoretical model linking firm characteristics and expected returns. The key ingredient of our model is technological shocks embodied in new capital (IST shocks), which affect the profitability of new investments. Firms’s exposure to IST shocks is endogenously determined by the fraction of firm value due to growth opportunities. In our structural model, several firm characteristics...
متن کاملCapital Structure, Product Market Dynamics, and the Boundaries of the Firm
We study how interactions between financing and investment decisions can shape firm boundaries in dynamic product markets. In particular, we model a new product market opportunity as a growth option and ask whether it is best exploited by a large incumbent firm (Integration) or by a separate, specialized firm (Non-Integration). Starting from a standard theoretical framework, in which value-maxi...
