Abstract
This paper finds that the comparable
firms approach with P/E ratios , M/B
ratios and price-to-sales multiples have
only modest predictive ability without
further adjustment.
Abstract (Cont.)
This paper further indicates that the
accuracy would be improved if we used
forecasted earnings rather than used
historical earnings data.

Other multiples :
M/B ratios , price-to-sales, enterprise valueto-sales , enterprise value-to-operating cash
flow ratios.
1. Introduction (Cont.)
These ratios are somewhat more accurate than
the use of historical accounting data ,
especially when we make adjustment to reflect
the differences between the profitability and
growth rates of the IPO firms and comparable
firms.

This paper uses a sample of 190 domestic
operating company IPOs from 1992 to 1993.
Why it restricts sample to 1992 to 1993 IPOs??

4.3.OLS Regression
The possible reason for a1 < 1:
If the explanatory variable is measured with error,
then a1 has an expected value of 1/(1+e2/x2)
where
1 = true slope coefficient
e = the standard deviation of the measurement error
x = the standard deviation of the true explanatory

4.3.OLS Regression
The performance of the comparable firms
approach is surprisingly weak.
1.Past accounting data for a young firm may
not reflect expectations of the firm's future
performance.

4.3.OLS Regression
The performance of the comparable firms
approach is surprisingly weak.
2.Using comparable firm multiples without
further adjustments for differences in
profitability and growth may ignore too
much relevant information.
3.The comparable firms may have been
chosen inappropriately.

The street earnings forecasts for the
IPOs are typically provided by analysts
who are affiliated with investment
bankers, so there may be a conflict of
