问题如下:
Company M has 10 million shares of outstanding stock. Currently, the earning per share is $2.50. If Company M repurchases $50 million at the current share price of $25 per share by borrowing the funds at an after-tax cost of 8%, what`s the change in earning per share after the repurchase?
选项:
A.It would remain the same.
B.It would decrease.
C.It would increase.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Share Repurchases
解析:M公司earnings yield = EPS/Share price = 2.5/25 = 10%,大于8%,因此回购完的EPS将会上升。
还是没太想明白,为什么earning yield大于Rd,则应该回购且EPS会增大。问题是问回购后的EPS与回购前的EPS相比,感觉这里思路很混乱,虽然记住了结论可以选对选项。
