Chapter Overview

3-3
3.1 How Firms Issue Securities
• Primary vs. Secondary Market Security Sales
• Primary
• New issue created/sold
• Key factor: Issuer receives proceeds from sale
• Public offerings: Registered with SEC; sale made to
investing public
• Private offerings: Not registered; sold only to limited
number of investors with restrictions on resale
• Secondary
• Existing owner sells to another party
• Issuing firm doesn’t receive proceeds, is not directly
involved

3-4
Privately Held Firms
• Up to 499 shareholders
• Middlemen have formed partnerships to buy
shares and get around the 499-investor
restrictions
• Raise funds through private placement
• Lower liquidity of shares
• Have fewer obligations to release financial
statements and other information

3-5
Publicly Traded Companies
• Raise capital from a wider range of investors
through initial public offering, IPO
• Seasoned equity offering: The sale of
additional shares in firms that already are
publicly traded
• Public offerings are marketed by investment
bankers or underwriters
• Registration must be filed with the SEC

3-6

Underwriters, and the Public

3-7
• Shelf Registration
• SEC Rule 415
• Security is preregistered and then may be
offered at any time within the next two years
• 24-hour notice: Any or all of preregistered
amount may be offered
• Introduced in 1982
• Allows timing of issues

3-8
Initial Public Offerings
Issuer and banker put on “road show”
Purpose: Bookbuilding and pricing
Underpricing
• Post-initial sale returns average
10% or more—“winner’s curse”
problem?
• Easier to market issue; costly to issuing firm

3-9
Initial Public Offerings
Underwriter bears price risk associated with
placement of securities:
• IPOs are commonly underpriced compared
to the price they could be marketed (ex.:
Groupon)
• Some IPOs, however, are well overpriced
(ex.: Facebook); others cannot even fully be
sold

3.2 How Securities Are Traded
• Functions of Financial Markets
• Overall purpose: Facilitate low-cost investment
• Bring together buyers and sellers at low cost
• Provide adequate liquidity by minimizing time
and cost to trade and promoting price
continuity
• Set and update prices of financial assets
• Reduce information costs associated with
investing

3-13
• Types of Markets
• Direct Search Markets
• Buyers and sellers locate one another on their own
• Brokered Markets
• Third-party assistance in locating buyer or seller
• Dealer Markets
• Third party acts as intermediate buyer/seller
• Auction Markets
• Brokers and dealers trade in one location
• Trading is more or less continuous

3-14
• Types of Orders
• Market order: Execute immediately at best price
• Bid price: price at which dealer will buy security
• Ask price: price at which dealer will sell security
• Price-contingent order: Buy/sell at specified price
or better
• Limit buy/sell order: specifies price at which
investor will buy/sell
• Stop order: not to be executed until price point
hit

3-15

3-16
• Trading Mechanisms
• Dealer markets
• Over-the-counter (OTC) market: Informal network of
brokers/dealers who negotiate securities sales
• NASDAQ stock market: Computer-linked price quotation
system for OTC market
• Electronic communication networks (ECNs)
• Computer networks that allow direct trading without market
makers
• Specialist markets
• Specialist: Makes market in shares of one or more firms;
maintains “fair and orderly market” by dealing personally

3-17
• In the US, the share of electronic trading
rose from 16% to 80% in 2000s and was
triggered by an interaction of new
technologies and new regulations
• 1975: Elimination of fixed commissions on
the NYSE
• 1994: New order-handling rules on
NASDAQ, leading to narrower bid-ask
spreads

3-39
3.8 Buying on Margin
Margin: Describes securities
purchased with money borrowed
in part from broker
• Net worth of investor's account: the equity
Initial Margin Requirement (IMR)
• Minimum set by Federal Reserve under
Regulation T, currently 50% for stocks
• Minimum % initial investor equity
• 1 − IMR = Maximum % amount investor can
borrow

3-40
Equity
• Position value – Borrowing + Additional cash
Maintenance Margin Requirement (MMR)
• Minimum amount equity can be before
additional funds must be put into account
• Exchanges mandate minimum 25%
Margin Call
• Notification from broker that you must put up
additional funds or have position liquidated

3-41
If Equity/Market value  MMR, then margin
call occurs
(Market value – Borrowed) / Market Value 
MMR; solve for market value
A margin call will occur when:
• Market value = Borrowed/(1 − MMR)
Borrowed amount also known as debit balance

3-42
Margin Trading: Initial Conditions
• Dot.com Corp: Stock price = $70
• 50%: Initial margin
• 40%: Maintenance margin
• 1000 shares purchased
Initial Position
Stock $70,000 Borrowed $35,000
Equity $35,000

3-43
Stock price falls to $60 per share: Equity (E)=
Position value (V) – Borrowing (B) + Additional cash
= $60 x 1000 sh. - $35,000 = $25,000
Margin %: (V – B)/V = E/V = $25,000/$60,000 = 41.67%
How far can price fall before margin call? Margin call
when Market value = Borrowed/(1 − MMR)
• Market value = $35,000/(1 – .40) = $58,333
New Position
Equity $25,000

3-44
With 1,000 shares, stock price for margin
call is $58,333/1,000 = $58.33
• $58,333 - $35,000 (Borrowing) = $23,333 (Equity)
Margin % = $23,333/$58,333 = 40%
• To restore IMR, equity needed = ½ x $58,333 = $29,167
Equity in account: $23,333; cash needed:
New Position
Equity $23,333

3-45
Buy at $70 per share
• Borrow at 7% APR interest cost if using margin;
use full amount margin
• APRs:
Buy at $70 Sell at $72 in
90 days
Sell at $68 in
90 days
No margin 11.59% −11.59%
Margin 16.17% −30.17%
Leverage factor 1.4x 2.6x

3-46
3.9 Short Sales
Sale of shares not owned by
investor but borrowed through broker and later
purchased to replace loan
Mechanics
• Borrow stock from broker; must post margin
• Broker sells stock, and deposits proceeds/margin
in margin account (you cannot withdraw proceeds
until you “cover”)
• Covering or closing out position: Buy stock; broker
returns title to party from which it was borrowed

3-48
3.9 Short Sales
• Required initial margin: Usually 50%
• More for low-priced stocks
• Liable for any cash flows
• Dividend on stock

3-49
3.9 Short Sales
Short-sale maintenance margin
requirements (equity)
Price MMR
< $2.50 $2.50
$2.50-$5.00 100% market value
$5.00-$16.75 $5.00
> $16.75 30% market value

3-50
3.9 Short Sales
Example
You sell short 100 shares of stock at $60 per share
$6,000 must be pledged to broker
You must also pledge 50% margin
You put up $3,000; now you have $9,000 in margin
account
Short sale equity = Total margin account – Market
value = $9,000 - $6,000 = $3,000

3-51
3.9 Short Sales
Example
Maintenance margin for short sale of stock with price
> $16.75 is 30% market value
30% x $6,000 = $1,800
You have $1,200 excess margin: $3,000 - $1,800
What price for margin call?

3-52
3.9 Short Sales
Example
When equity  (.30 x Market value)
Equity = Total margin account – Market value
When Market value = Total margin account / (1 +
MMR)
Market value = $9,000/(1 + 0.30) = $6,923
Price for margin call: $6,293/100 shares = $69.23

3-53
3.9 Short Sales
Example
If this occurs:
Equity = Total margin account – Market value
Equity = $9,000 − $6,923 = $2,077
Equity as % market value = $2,077/$6,923 = 30%
To restore 50% initial margin:
($6,923x0.5) − $2,077 = $1,384.50

3-54
Table 3.5 Cash Flows from Purchasing vs. Short-Selling
Purchase of Stock
Time Action Cash Flow*
0 Buy share − Initial price
1 Receive dividend, sell share Ending price + Dividend
Profit = (Ending price + Dividend) – Initial price
Short Sale of Stock
Time Action Cash Flow*
0 Borrow share; sell it + Initial price
1 Repay dividend and buy share to replace
share originally borrowed
− (Ending price + Dividend)
Profit = Initial price – (Ending price + Dividend)
*Note: A negative cash flow implies a cash outflow.

3-55
3.X Return on Invested Capital(ROIC)
Problems: You buy 100 shares of Hazelnut at $80 per share using
60% margin. Margin loan is obtained at an interest rate of 9%
per year. The stock pays a dividend of $4 per year per share.
Broker commission is $0.05 per transaction per share. Find
the return on invested capital if in three months the stock
price:
(a) Goes to $95 per share:

3-56
ROIC or Return on Equity (ROE)
(b) Goes to $65 per share:
(c) Stays at $80 per share:

3-57
ROIC or ROE
2. Redo the above problems under the assumption there is no
margin trading.
(a) Price goes to $95 per share:
(b) Price goes to $65 per share:
(c) Price stays at $80 per share:
57

ROIC or ROE
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of margin
trading?
