Executive Insight Report: MNO Business Value - Share Price Drivers & Inhibitors

June 2007 (34 pages)

Share price is a key focus of MNO management. Undervalued shares cause investigations and speculation from analysts, shareholders and the media that can damage the MNO's business prospects. A low market valuation can make the MNO vulnerable to acquisition and possibly break up.

Given the role of market confidence (from stakeholders, analysts and the media) in determining share price, MNOs must ensure they understand what drives analysts to mark players up or down and ensure they send the right messages to the market. Corporate performance alone does not always equate directly with share price movement and sentiment about a sector or a company's reputation may influence share price.

This report provides background to the development of MNO valuations over recent years and compares various market valuation approaches and provides a historical view of MNO acquisitions. In addition, a hypothetical MNO valuation exercise is used to help identify the key factors that need to be be communicated to stakeholders, analysts and the media to minimise the potential for a damaging assessment of business value which will impact share prices and the ability of the MNO to pursue its objectives without distraction.

Price: EUR 2,500.00 / GBP 2,000.00
