Teaching Notes
Abstract
In early October 2016, Ashish Malhotra, an investment advisor with a brokerage firm, was examining the latest financials of Repco Home Finance Company (Repco), a professionally managed housing finance company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. As an investment advisor, Ashish recommended undervalued stocks to the firm’s existing clients and helped manage their equity portfolios. To determine whether Repco would be a good bet for his client’s equity portfolios, he decided to value Repco through the residual income valuation (RIV) methodology generally used for banking and financial sector companies. This case puts students in a financial analyst role wherein they conduct RIV for Repco in order to discover potential undervalued stock for investment decision-making.
