This project is designed for the course Derivative Securities (FIN 480) where we are to choose
two different companies, one is overvalued and the other is undervalued, from Dhaka Stock
Exchange (DSEX index) and validate our reasoning of choice with the help of fundamental
analysis additionally supported by technical analysis. We used three models namely Dividend
Discount Model (DDM), Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) and Relative Valuation (Market
Multiplier Model) in order to reach the conclusion of which stock is overvalued or undervalued.
After the valuation process, we assumed to issue a call option on the undervalued stock as the
underlying and issued a put option on the overvalued stock as the underlying. Then we used
Binomial Model for Option Pricing to calculate the call and put option price. Furthermore, we
used Black Scholes Merton Model to calculate the call and put option price. All the calculations
that have been used in this report are done in excel sheets based on the financial statements of
the company. Majority of the information is collected from Dhaka Stock Exchange,
Bangladesh Bank’s website, company website, different news portal, etc.

Introduction
For this project, we chose two companies, which are BSRM Steels Limited from Engineering
sector and APEX Foods Limited from Food and Allied sector. In the first part, we chose these
two companies based on their unusual P/E ratios and after that we did valuation of the company
stocks using the three models namely Dividend Discount Model (DDM), Free Cash Flow to
the Firm (FCFF) and Market Multiplier Model. We also used fundamental analysis along with
technical analysis to support our findings. Additionally, we took stock data of 5 years for our
analysis to be more accurate. For each stock, we calculated annualized return, annualized
variance and standard deviations. We plotted the price volume chart, did the regression analysis
for each stock, distribution of the actual returns using histogram, and calculated the skewness
and kurtosis of the two distributions using Excel functions SKEW and KURT. We also
prepared a company profile for each stock where relevant information is provided along with
a brief company description. In the second part of the project, we took the undervalued stock
as an underlying of a call option and overvalued stock as an underlying of a put option. Then
we calculated the option price by two period Binomial Option Pricing Model and the Black
Scholes Merton Model. All the calculations are done using Microsoft Excel 2016.

How and why we selected the company (BSRM Steels Limited)
For the project, we had to choose a company, which is undervalued right now. Therefore, we
initially looked for DS30 index where usually the undervalued companies right now are placed.
Moreover, as a primary indicator we looked on the P/E ratio of BSRM Steels Ltd. Based on
the P/E ratio of BSRM of 13.6 we initially chose it as an undervalued company. We have also
seen the future prospects of the company, which gave us some sort of basic understanding that
the stock price of the company might increase.
Fundamental analysis (BSRM Steels Limited)
BSRM steels Ltd. is a cash dividend paying company and has been maintaining a dividend
payout ratio of 40% over the last 5 years. Its growth in earnings per share (EPS) has been
calculated as 13.16% over the same period. And the required rate of return on its stock has been
calculated to be 12.72% using the CAPM approach. Since, the growth rate is greater than its
required rate of return i.e.; (g>r), we cannot use constant growth rate model. So, we have used
here multistage model and then have been used a multiplier model for finding its terminal
value.

The pro forma financial statements were developed using a sales growth is estimated average
of the growth of GDP, Real Estate sector, Per capita consumption of steel, Import of Iron scrap,
GDP from construction sector and the sales of BSRM steels. Running regression of these major
determining factors with the annual sales of BSRM gave R-square of over 90%. Therefore,
based on forecasted discounted values of the cash dividends including the terminal value, we
have calculated stock to be undervalued by 58.47% since its intrinsic value is greater than its
current market price, we buy the stock.

companies listed on DSE to compare the ratios of BSRM steel with the industry. We found
Apollo Ispat is an outlier, therefore, we excluded it. According to market multiplier method,
the stock is undervalued by 28.97% and hence we will buy.

Price Volume Chart:
The BSRM Steels share price maintained stable price across the range of 80-60 BDT over the
year. However, trade volumes increased suddenly before and after the dividend announcement
times, which correspondingly caused the share price to increase greatly. However, eventually
the price returned to its stable range over time. We can see that the stock is not much traded
round the year but is highly in demand of trade during its dividend announcement period. Since,

the BSRM Steels has an below average industry P/E ratio so it is an undervalued share, which
means it can be highly profitable to invest in this share during the normal periods and gain high
profit by selling of during/after the dividend is announced.
Kurtosis (distribution or volatility of skew): The kurtosis of BSRM Steels return distribution
is 57.6787. The distribution is longer and the tails are flatter. The peak of the return distribution
is higher than normal distribution, this means the returns are heavily tailed and there are a lot
return outliers. The outliers stretch the horizontal axis so this makes the returns appear in a
narrow and high vertical range, and the distribution can be addressed as a leptokurtic
distribution.

Skewness (measure of asymmetry in the distribution): The skewness for the return
distribution of BSRM Steels is 2.5078, which means the return distribution is highly positively
skewed. The median will be greater than the mode as there is asymmetry in the return
distribution. Thus, the BSRM Steels stocks will provide high returns to the investors.
We derived the above scatter plot from the six-month regression analysis of BSRM Steels with
DSEX, here the beta is 1.3051, which implies that the stock has positive relationship with the
market and the market risk of the stock is high. The investors may need to be rational to invest
in this company’s stock as it moves along with market. However, the R-square value is 0.034,
which is a very low magnitude and this states that the stock does not necessarily have a good
correlation with the market. Thus, this method is not much effective to explain the correlation
between BSRM Steels and the market.

Fundamental analysis (Apex Foods Limited)
Based on the pro forma income statement and balance sheet for the next five years we have
calculated free cash flow to the firm till 2023. The pro forma financial statements were
developed based on the revenue growth model with an annual growth rate of 5.19% for the
following five years. We took the average of last two year CAGR (revenue) 8.17% of APEX
Foods and the overall export growth 2.20% of Bangladesh. We used this process because the
net profit of APEX Foods has been negative for several past years due to the issue to trade
sanctions implied by foreign countries on the shrimp export from Bangladesh, however APEX
Foods has improved its product quality and started to increase the shrimp exports over the past
two years. And from next five years the terminal growth rate is 4.5%. This growth rate is based
on average CAGR (revenue) for the last five years. After calculating the enterprise value, we
calculated the value of equity by subtracting net debt from enterprise value. We calculate the
intrinsic value to be 126.74 per share which is less than current market price per share.
Therefore, the stock is overvalued by 27.34% and we will sell.

Price Volume Chart:
We can see a positive relation between the price and volume of the APEX Foods share, as the
company gives regular dividends to its common shareholders, so the share is more traded
during the June-July periods and prices are also higher during those periods. The shares are
also traded in high volumes during the beginning of the year this maybe because of the January
effect anticipation or due to recent political stability after the national election. However, as
the APEX Foods stock has an above average industry P/E ratio and determined as an
overvalued share, so the trading amount is decreasing gradually which correspondingly causes
the price to decrease.

Kurtosis (distribution or volatility of skewness): The kurtosis of the return distribution of
APEX Foods is 2.6394 which is very close to the kurtosis of 3 in normal distribution. Since the
kurtosis is below 3 so this distribution is platykurtic as the distribution is shorter, peak is smaller
and the tails are thinner compared to normal distribution. There are very few outliers present
in the return distribution.

is almost fairly positively skewed. However the amount of return is lower due to the platykurtic
curve so the amount of possible positive return for the investors is not much high.
The six months regression analysis of APEX Foods with DSEX generates a beta of 1.1788, this
implies that the stock has positive relationship with the market and the market risk of this stock
is also very high. Here, the R-square (0.0583) is also very low, so this means that the stock
necessarily may have little or no correlation with the market. Thus, this method is not much
effective to explain the correlation between APEX Foods and the market.

Binomial option pricing model
According to our analysis, the stock of BSRM Steels Limited is undervalued and the stock of
APEX Foods Limited is overvalued. We know undervalued stocks are suitable as an
underlying for a call option and overvalued stocks are preferred as an underlying for a put
option. We are going to price a call option and a put option whose underlying asset is the
stock of BSRM Steels Limited and APEX Foods Limited respectively by using Binomial
option pricing model. The pricing follows all the assumptions of the model. A two period call
option pricing with the tree diagram is shown below:
A/ Call option (stock of BSRM Steels Limited):
Stock price (So) 59.1
Upward 20 %
Downward 20 %
Exercise price (X) 67.965
Risk free rate, rf 3.99 %
Risk neutral probability of stock price going up 59.98 %
Risk neutral probability of stock price going down 40.03 %

Black Scholes Merton Model
This is a continuous option-pricing model. This is actually the model that is used to price
options all over the world. However, people actually don’t use it for the purpose of pricing
options, but to measure the implied volatility by taking the trading price of options. Here we
will calculate the price for call and put option using the Black Scholes Merton Model where
the risk free rate and the return on the company’s stock are compounded continuously.

Conclusion
The capital market in Bangladesh does not have any derivative securities. The purpose of this
project is to make the students familiar with how options can be issued and priced using
different models. On that process of issuing options, the valuation of the underlying asset plays
a very important role. How to make certain assumptions on the valuation process, justifying
those assumptions and realizing the impact of such assumptions on pricing of derivative
securities such as options was something we contemplated upon while preparing the project,
which allowed us a different perspective altogether. Finally, we would like to conclude with a
fact that this project was enormously helpful both for our academic and hopefully for our
practical work life. We would like to thank our course instructor to provide us with such an
opportunity to work on this project.
