Style Bias – Growth and Value § Growth – Investment opportunities that earn more than the firm's cost of capital. – Record of past growth and the potential for future increases in capital value. – Potential for high growth in earnings or expected earnings = potential for big increases in the stock price. – Shares in growth companies are usually expensive, relative to the internal or fundamental value of the company. – If the company fails to deliver growth, the price can fall dramatically. – Growth investing is usually considered more risky than value investing. – Typical sectors include telecommunications, technology and media. § Value – Stocks with expected higher intrinsic values than currently priced by the market. – Shares that are attractively priced, relative to the earnings or the internal value of the company – or, in some cases, relative to the market. – Price of these companies will eventually rise to reflect the true value. – Many consider value investing safer than growth investing, since prices of value stocks tend to be less volatile. – Healthcare, pharma § Characteristics – High dividend yield; – Low price-to-book ratio and/or; – Low price-to-earnings ratio. § Characteristics – High PE ratio – Low dividend yield – Strong Earnings Per Share (EPS) 5
