How to Calculate Stock Valuation: Hot Topics on the Internet and Structured Methods
Recently (in the past 10 days), discussions around stock market valuation and investment strategies have continued to increase. From expectations of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to fluctuations in the A-share market, investors' attention to stock valuation methods has increased significantly. This article will combine hot topics, systematically introduce the core methods of stock valuation, and help readers quickly grasp key indicators through structured data.
1. The correlation between recent hot topics and valuation
1.The impact of Fed policy: The market is generally concerned about the impact of interest rate changes on growth stock valuation models, especially the adjustment of the discount rate in the DCF (discounted cash flow) method.
2.The concept of A-share “medium special valuation”: The low valuation sector of central enterprises has become the focus, and the demand for comparative analysis of PE (price-to-earnings ratio) and PB (price-to-book ratio) has increased.
3.AI track valuation controversy: Under the high growth expectations of technology companies, the PEG (price-to-earnings growth ratio) indicator is frequently cited.
2. Core methods of stock valuation
The following are 5 mainstream valuation methods and their applicable scenarios:
| method | formula | Applicable scenarios | limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price to earnings ratio (PE) | Share price/earnings per share | A mature company with stable profits | Ignore growth potential |
| Price to Book Ratio (PB) | Stock price/Net assets per share | Asset-heavy industries (such as banks) | Intangible assets are not included in the |
| PEG | PE/earnings growth rate | high growth enterprise | Depends on growth rate accuracy |
| DCF | Sum of discounted future cash flows | long term value investment | Assuming parameter sensitivity |
| dividend discount model | Dividend/(discount rate - growth rate) | High dividend-paying companies | Need to stabilize dividend policy |
3. Practical Case: Comparing CATL and Kweichow Moutai
Taking 2023 data as an example (unit: RMB):
| indicator | Ningde era | Kweichow Moutai |
|---|---|---|
| PE (static) | 28.5 | 35.2 |
| PB | 6.8 | 15.3 |
| ROE | 23% | 31% |
| PEG (prediction) | 0.9 | 1.2 |
Analysis conclusion: CATL’s PEG below 1 indicates that the valuation may be undervalued, while Moutai’s high PB reflects brand premium. Investors need to choose methods based on industry characteristics.
4. Valuation considerations
1.Dynamic adjustment: PE and other indicators need to be recalculated after the quarterly financial report is released;
2.Cross-industry comparison: The valuation logic of technology stocks and consumer stocks is different;
3.Impact of market sentiment: Short-term hot spots may cause valuations to deviate from fundamentals.
Summary: Stock valuation requires a combination of multiple methods, and recent market fluctuations have highlighted its importance. It is recommended that investors establish their own valuation system, review key indicators regularly, and avoid blindly following hot trends.
