Valuation and Characteristics of Stocks

1/ This week’s readings address valuing stocks, although the concepts of valuation apply to many aspects of the firm. Explain the differences between market price per share, and intrinsic value (a fundamental price), and factors that determine the fundamental price of a stock.

2/ Then, select a publicly traded company in Saudi Arabia, calculate its fundamental price per share, compare the fundamental price per share with market price per share and decide if it is underpriced, overpriced, or fairly price. (Make sure your selected company is different than your classmates’). 

3/ Explain why these concepts are important to business leaders in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Vision 2030.

4/ Search the SEU library or the Internet for an academic or industry-related article. Select an article that relates to these concepts and explain how it relates to doing business in Saudi Arabia.

5/ For your discussion post, your first step is to summarize the article in two paragraphs, describing what you think are the most important points made by the authors (remember to use citations where appropriate). For the second step, include the reference listing with a hyperlink to the article. Do not copy the article into your post and limit your summary to two paragraphs. Let your instructor know if you have any questions and enjoy your search.
