April 27, 2011/ M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / http://www.squeezetrigger.com is monitoring the Utility sector and these stocks are the most undervalued as of today. CENTRAIS ELEC BRAS-SP ADR CM (NYSE:EBR), PARKWAY PROPERTIES INC (NYSE:PKY), NEWPORT CORP (NASDAQ:NEWP), MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (NASDAQ:MU), APACHE CORP (NYSE:APA), AVX CORP (NYSE:AVX) are all expected to go Up as they are Undervalued according to industry standard valuation metrics. The valuation model employs a three-factor approach to stock valuation using fundamental variables--the company's trailing 12-month Earnings-Per-Share (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's forecasted 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield--to create a highly accurate reflection of a company's fair value.
The chart below displays the projected Fair Value and Valuation discount/premium of the most undervalued stocks in the highlighted industry group:
Symbol Company Name Last Close Fair Value Valuation Industry
EBR CENTRAIS ELEC BRAS-SP ADR CM $15.48 $21.03 26.40% Undervalued Utility
PKY PARKWAY PROPERTIES INC $17.72 $24.04 26.30% Undervalued REIT
NEWP NEWPORT CORP $17.75 $23.92 25.80% Undervalued Instruments
MU MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC $11.61 $15.59 25.50% Undervalued Electronic
APA APACHE CORP $126.20 $166.46 24.20% Undervalued Petroleum
AVX AVX CORP $16.05 $21.08 23.90% Undervalued Electronic
Here are some of the variables that are utilized when calculating the Fair Market Valuation of a stock: Long-run EPS growth rate, Duration of Business-growth-cycle, Volatility of EPS growth rate, Systematic or beta risk of the firm, Correlation between the firm's EPS and the interest rate environment, EPS growth volatility, Dividend payout ratio, Buffer earnings, Interest rate related criteria: Interest rate (30 year yield) long-run level, Duration of interest rate cycle, Interest rate volatility. The Fair Market Valuation uses 12-month historic and forecasted EPS values and the current 30-year treasury yield as primary determinants. When calculating risk/return values such as the Sharpe ratio, the historic periods used are five years.
Some expected results of the Valuation Model are: the valuation of a stock increases in a declining interest rate environment. Increasing current and/or projected EPS will produce a higher Valuation. While long-term EPS growth would produce a corresponding long-term Valuation increase, concomitant long-term interest rate increases would offset EPS growth and depress the Valuation. The shorter a company's own business cycle, the higher its stock Valuation will be.
