How sensitive are companies to rising interest rates?

The talk of will they or won’t they raise rates has been ongoing for more than 2 years now.  We have to expect either rates get raised at some point, we stumble along on the current path or we end up in deflationary times.  I want to explore the more optimistic of these scenarios and its impact on stock valuations: the economy improves and rates start to rise.

To look at this in detail I am using www.stockcalc.com  (Disclaimer: I am the President of Patchell Brook Equity Analytics and we created Stockcalc.com precisely for this type of analysis and valuation)

I will examine Caterpillar as it has with a 59/41 Equity to Debt in the Capital Structure

Using Stockcalc I first create and save a WACC for CAT:  (Research Menu, Valuation, WACC).  Stockcalc does a first pass on WACC using default values which results in a WACC of 8.93.

Cost of Equity (Ke) 13.63 (Using CAPM), After Tax cost of Debt : 2.17, 59% Equity, 41% Debt

 

WACC for CAT

Next I load the Quick DCF tool  so I can run the analysis (Research, Forecast, Analyst) (Note – the quick DCF is a testing and teaching tool, the other tools are more detailed in their analysis)

It is available for free at www.stockcalc.com/dcf.aspx or inside the Stockcalc.Com website

Quick DCF for CAT

Value Per Share ($) Calculations for Caterpillar (CAT:NYS) using the Quick DCF tool on Stockcalc.com

Each change in WACC (8.93 – 9.34 – 9.75) implies a 1 % change in Cost of Debt.  Growth rates are next 3 years and thereafter (5% and 3% in the first row for ex)

WACC 8.93 9.34 9.75
Growth rates 5,3% 70.02 61.28 53.60
Growth rates 6,4% 97.40 84.92 74.21
Growth rates 4,2% 50.55 44.08 38.30

(Current Price at the time of valuation (October 2015) was $69.34)

A 1% change in the Cost of Debt results in a 12.5% change in value per share.  A 1% change in Growth rates results in a 28% change in Value per Share.  A 1% change in WACC results in a similar 28% change in Value per Share.

Message: if interest rates are rising, growth prospects need to be rising at half the rate to keep this share price holding steady.
