Both Bond Investors and Stock Investors Are Focused on Future Cash Flows that a Company Will Produce
- It’s true that measures to raise P/B that focus on strengthening shareholder returns are unpopular with investors, while excess cash on hand should be returned to shareholders under stagnated ROE.
- Both bond and equity investors are focused on the future cash flow a company will generate, and increasing cash flow is consistent with the goals of a public company.
- If a company can’t use cash reserves to increase corporate value, it should either return excess cash to shareholders or change to a manager that can use cash for growth.
TSI Buys Freak’s Store Owner Daytona International
- Like all the big apparel firms, TSI sees diversification as one of the few ways to find growth in a contracting market.
- It has the cash to do this and has just bought Daytona, the respected operator of the Freak’s store chain.
- It will use its access to capital to accelerate expansion for new fashion chains.
