Detailed Company Description<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

CenterPoint Energy Inc owns and operates a portfolio of energy-related businesses. The company primarily provides transmission and distribution services and has natural gas distribution systems in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Explanation of Valuation Models<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n We have up to 6 valuation points for each company in the database.
\n The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)<\/span> valuation is a cash flow model where cash flow projections are discounted back to the present to calculate value per share. DCF is a common valuation technique especially for companies undergoing irregular cash flows such as resource companies (mining, forestry, oil and gas) going though price cycles or smaller companies about to generate cash flow (junior exploration companies, junior pharma, technology firms…).
\n The Price Comparables<\/span> valuation is the result of valuing the company we are looking at on the basis of ratios from selected comparable companies: Price to Earnings, Price to Book, Price to Sales, Price to Cash Flow, Enterprise Value (EV) to EBITDA. Each of these ratios for the selected comparable companies are averaged and multiplied by the values for the company we are interested in to calculate a value per share for our selected company.
\n We have included the Other Comparables<\/span> as a way to value companies that cannot be valued using Earnings based ratios. This technique is very useful for companies still experiencing negative cash flows such as mining exploration firms. We use Cash\/Share, Book Value\/Share, MarketCap, 1 Year Return, NetPPE as the ratios here. Each of these ratios for the selected comparable companies are averaged and multiplied by the values for the company we are interested in to calculate a value per share for our selected company.
\n Multiples<\/span> are similar to Price comparables where we look at current or historic ratios for the company in question to assess what it should be worth today based on those historic ratios. We use the same 5 ratios as in the price comparables and value the company with its historic averages.
\n With Adjusted Book Value (ABV)<\/span> we calculate the book value per share for the company based on its balance sheet and multiply that book value per share by its historical price to book ratio to calculate a value per share.
\n If we have Analyst coverage<\/span> for the company we use the consensus target price here.\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
