  2. Stock Markets Overview • Stockholders are the legal owners of a corporation • they have a residual claim to all earnings and assets after debt and tax claims are satisfied • voting rights (e.g., to elect board of directors) • shareholders do not exercise control (elected board chooses CEO, etc.)

  3. Market Value of Common Stock Outstanding, by Type of Issuer ($Bn)

  4. Primary and Secondary Markets Overview • Primary Market • firm can raise equity capital in its initial public offering (IPO) • firm can raise equity capital in a subsequent seasoned equity offering (SEO) • Secondary Markets • trading of shares among investors

  5. Stock Market Securities • Two types of corporate stock exist • Common stock • the fundamental ownership claim in a public corporation • Preferred stock • a hybrid security that has characteristics of both bonds and common stock

  6. Calculating Stock Returns R1 = P1 - Pt-1 + D1 Pt-1 P t-1 Where: P1 = Stock price at time t D1 = Dividends paid over time t - 1 to t P1 - Pt-1 = Capital gain over time t - 1 to t, and Pt-1 R1 = $45 - $40 + $4 $40 $40 = 12.5% + 10.0% = 22.5%

  7. New Securities Issued ($Bn)

  8. Characteristics of Common Stock • Dividends • payment and size of dividends is determined by the board of directors of the issuing firm • Residual Claim • in the event of liquidation, common stockholders have the lowest priority in terms of any cash distribution • Limited Liability • common stockholders losses are limited to the amount of their original investment in the firm • Voting Rights

  9. Characteristics of Preferred Stock • Similar to common stock in that it represents an ownership interest but, like bonds, pays a fixed periodic dividend • Senior to common stock but junior to bonds • Generally do not have voting rights • Nonparticipating preferred stock • dividend is fixed regardless of any increase or decrease in the firm’s value • Cumulative preferred stock • missed dividend payments go into arrears and must be made up before common stock dividends can be paid

  10. Issuance of Stock in the Primary Market Stocks Stocks Issuing Investment Investors Corporation Bank Funds Funds Investment bank conducts primary market sale of stock using firm commitment underwriting (guarantees corporation a fixed price for newly issued securities) or best efforts underwriting(no guarantee to issuer and acts more as a placing or distribution agent) (continued)

  11. Net proceeds - the guaranteed price at which the investment bank purchases the stock from the issuer • Gross proceeds - the price at which the investment bank resells the stock to investors • Underwriters’ spread - the difference between the gross proceeds and the net proceeds • Syndicate - the process of distributing securities through a group of investment banks • Originating house - the lead bank in the syndicate negotiates with the issuing company on behalf of the syndicate • Red herring proxy - a preliminary version of the prospectus describing a new security

  12. Secondary Markets: Major U.S. Stock Exchanges • New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) • buyers and sellers meet at the trading post to negotiate • specialist acts as a dealer (market maker), as necessary • American Stock Exchange (AMEX) • trading system same as NYSE • National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) • multiple dealers (market makers) compete for transactions in a given stock • each dealer/market maker posts a bid and offer price on the system’s network
