These are the two approaches that we used to evaluate the stock of Advanced Info Service: 1) Discount Dividend Model (DDM) 2) Relative Method
Discount Dividend Model
We assume that the dividends are trending upward at a stable growth rate. (b= 0.329, Rm= 10%)
P0= D1/ (k-g) k= Rrf + (Rm- Rrf)b
P0= 5.44/(5.303-5.281) k=3+(10-3)0.329= 5.303
P0= ฿247.27
D1= D0*(1+g) g = b*ROE
D1= 4.26(1+5.281)= 26.757 g= (reinvested earnings/book value)*84.46% g= 5.281%
Forecasting Growth
Right now, the stock’s intrinsic value is P0= ฿247.27 while its market price is set at only at ฿209. This can be concluded that the stock is undervalued thus encouraging investors to buy the stocks.
Pessimistic
Under pessimism, investor forecast that the company will have a slow growth in the future. Because of this, the growth rate will be reduce to g= 5.276%, and stock’s intrinsic value will only be P0= ฿201.48. Obviously, the market price of ฿209 will now be greater than P0= ฿201.48, causing the stock to be overvalued and encouraging investors to sell the securities.
Equilibrium
Under this circumstance, the growth rate will have to decline to g= 5.277%, falling from the original rate by 0.9%. At this rate, the stock’s intrinsic value will equal its stock’s market price. Thus, the market is said to be in equilibrium.
Relative Method 1) Price to Earning Ratio (P/E Ratio= Market value per share/EPS)

It values the company’s stock by showing the investors how many times they are willing to pay for every dollar of the company’s net profit.
