2 The Size Effect Empirical evidence suggests that investments in small capitalization (small market value) companies have earned greater historical rates of return than investments t in large capitalization ti companies over the longterm. Empirical evidence suggests that CAPM (beta - adjusted return) tends to underestimate historical rates of return on small companies (i.e., beta - adjusted return too low) SBBI Yearbook has documented this effect: Size-based (where size is measured by market value) premiums over return predicted using textbook CAPM Based on 10 size (where size is measured by market value) deciles Correction to textbook CAPM: add premium to the return predicted by the textbook CAPM to adjust expected return for smaller companies. 3 The Size Effect SBBI Valuation Edition 2000 Yearbook In the (textbook) CAPM, only systematic or beta risk is rewarded; small company stocks have had returns in excess of those implied by their betas. calendar annual return differences between small and large companies are serially correlated. the firm size effect is seasonal. the excess return is especially pronounced for micro cap stocks (deciles 9-10). The size-related phenomenon has prompted a revision to the CAPM, which includes a size premium. 4 2

3 Why Do Companies With Small Equity Value Get High Returns? Reward for risk of smaller companies? Losers? Big companies with high risk Financial distress? Big or small companies in trouble High leverage? Big or small companies with high financial risk New companies? Speculative new technology or new market entrants 5 Berk Critique of Size Premium Berk, A Critique of Size Related Anomalies, Review of Financial Studies (1995) and Does Size Really Matter?, Financial Analyst Journal (Sept./Oct. 1997). Riskier companies have higher discount rates Higher discount rates results in lower market values Therefore: low market value portfolios get high returns This does not mean small size is rewarded with high returns Berk s argument concerns ranking by market value Ranking by other criteria eliminates possible bias 6 3

4 Are Small Companies Riskier Than Comparable Large Companies? Long and Zhang, Growth Options, Unwritten Call Discounts and Valuing Small Firms, working paper (March 2004). Research shows that t small public cos earn higher h rates of return and have lower multiples than large, widely-held cos Risks include lack of liquidity and lack of information But valuing small co is not same as valuing scaled down large co Potential competitor can more easily enter real market and take value from small co Large cos have resources to better adjust to competition and avoid bankruptcy Small cos undertake less R&D, spend less on advertising, giving less control over product demand and potential competition Small cos have fewer resources to fend off competition and redirect themselves after changes in market occurs 7 Are Small Companies Riskier Than Comparable Large Companies? (cont d) Define: Value = E 1 / k + PVGO Call where: E 1 / k = value of assets in place PVGO = present value of future growth options Call = unwritten call - value that can be taken by potential competition that can enter the market and destroy value Small companies have larger unwritten call against their value from prospective new competition vs. larger firms Value of unwritten call option increases with volatility; unsystematic risk (variance of returns) of small companies > than unsystematic risk of large companies, increasing value of unwritten call Study survival of small companies find large companies can better handle change in competitive environment over time Though size and variance of returns highly correlated, find unwritten call option against small company value larger than predicted by variance (i.e., find size premium) 8 4

5 Build-Up Method and Adjustment for Size Three alternative formulations: Risk-Free Rate Risk-Free Rate Risk-Free Rate + RP m + RP m + D&P Risk + Size Premium + Small Stock Premium Beta Adj. Premium (Exh A-1 to A-8) + Other Factors + Other Factors + Other Factors = Cost of Equity = Cost of Equity = Cost of Equity How do we measure size? 9 Build-up Method: How do we Measure Size? Market value: only SBBI measure - Data options: CRSP 9-10 CRSP 10 CRSP 10a (10w and 10x) and 10b (10y and 10z) Small Cap Series D&P Risk Premium Report-Size Study - 8 size measures and 25 risk premium categories Calculation options: Returns in excess of returns expected given beta (return in excess of CAPM) beta - adjusted size premium Small stock returns in excess of large stock returns - small stock premium Total risk premium in excess of T-bonds (RP m plus size premium) 10 5

21 Is the Subject Company more or less risky than comparable size firms? Small companies are believed to have higher rates of return than large companies because small companies are inherently more risky. Is this true? Yes, as measured by the stock-market based indicators of beta and price volatility. D&P data also demonstrates that as company size decreases, fundamental measures of accounting risk increase showing that small companies are inherently more risky.
