Resumo: | The development of the new economy and establishment of Internet-based companies created an industry of fast growing corporations with much interest to investors. The valuation of these firms has drifted away from estimates provided by traditional valuation models, which tend to undervalue Internet stocks consistently. Additionally, financial information has shown to be of little use when assessing the value of dot.com stocks (Trueman et al., 2001) The objective of this paper is to shed some light on the usefulness of accounting-based valuation models when valuing Internet stocks. It attempts to provide users with a guide to the relative performance of models when valuing Internet companies and demonstrate how the assessment of these companies is compared to the valuation of firms in other industries. Empirical results show that Internet and IT Service companies are harder to value, compared to other firms, using traditional valuation methods. The valuation model that provides the best estimates for these enterprises is the forward P/E calculated using a harmonic mean when compared to the RIVM and AEGM. Results also show that analysts prefer stock-based valuation models to flow-based models. |

A avaliação de empresas ligadas á Internet afastou-se das estimativas que eram geradas usando os modelos tradicionais de avaliação de empresas, que a maioria das vezes subvalorizava consideravelmente as acções destas firmas. Adicionalmente, a informação financeira divulgada mostrou ser pouco útil para a avaliação das acções dot.com (Trueman et al., 2001). O objective principal desta tese é identificar a utilidade dos modelos de avaliação baseados em relatórios financeiros na avaliação de empresas online. O intuito é facultar aos analistas um guia sobre a capacidade de estimação de alguns modelos na avaliação de empresas tecnológicas e comparar a precisão das estimativas para estas empresas com as estimativas do valor de outras empresas de diferentes indústrias. Os resultados desta análise demonstram que as empresas tecnológicas são mais difíceis de estimar usando os modelos estudados. O P/E é identificado como o modelo que produz as melhores avaliações para estas empresas em comparação com o RIVM e o AEGM. Os restados também mostram que os analistas preferem modelos que utilização informação relativa a empresas concorrentes versus os modelos que utilização as demonstrações de resultados das empresas.Guedes, José Filipe Garcia CorrêaVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaAmaral, Nicole Torres2017-03-20T15:52:30Z2017-02-1620172017-02-16T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/21861TID:201647664enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:28:00Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/21861Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:18:11.515308Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
