Kathy is a financial analyst in BTR Warehousing’s. As part of her analysis of the annual distribution policy and its impact on the firm’s value, she makes the following calculations and observations: • The company generated a free cash flow (FCF) of $87.00 million in its most recent fiscal year.
• The firm’s cost of capital (WACC) is 13%. The firm has been growing at 10% for the past six years but is expected to grow at a constant rate of 8% in the future.
• The firm has 21.75 million shares outstanding.
• The company has $232.00 million in debt and $145.00 million in preferred stock.

Along with the rest of the finance team, Kathy has been part of board meetings and knows that the company is planning to distribute $120.00 million, which is invested in short-term investments, to its shareholders by buying back stock from its shareholders. Kathy also observed that, at this point, apart from the $120.00 million in short-term investments, the firm has no other nonoperating assets.

Based on you understanding of stock repurchases, identify whether the following statement is true or false:

"The stock price of a firm increases after the firm repurchases some of its shares."

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below.

1. Value of the firm operations is

= Free Cash Flow × (1 + Growth Rate) ÷ (WACC - Growth Rate)

= $87 million  × (1 + 8%) ÷ (13% - 8%)

= $1,879.20

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

2.  The intrinsic value of equity immediately prior to stock repurchase is

= Value of Firm's Operations + Value of Non Operating Assets - Value of Debt - Value of Preferred Stock

= $1,879.20 + $120 - $232 - $145

= $1,622.20

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

3.  The intrinsic stock price immediately prior to stock repurchase is

= Intrinsic Value of Equity Prior to Stock Repurchase ÷ Number of Outstanding Shares

= ($1,622.20) ÷ (21.75 million shares)

= $74.58

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

4. The number of shares repurchased is

= Cash Used for Repurchase ÷ Intrinsic stock price

= $120  ÷ $74.58

= 1.61

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

5. The intrinsic value of equity immediately after stock repurchase is

 = Value of Firm's Operations - Value of Debt - Value of Preferred Stock

= $1,879.20 - $232 - $145

= $1,502.20

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

6. The intrinsic stock price immediately after stock repurchase is

= Intrinsic Value of Equity After Stock Repurchase ÷ Number of Outstanding Shares after Repurchase

= ($1,502.20)  ÷ (21.75 million shares - 1.61 million shares)

= $74.59

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

This statement is false because if the stock price changes after a firm conducts its share repurchase, then there are arbitrage opportunities. Thus, the price of the stock remains the same after a repurchase
