Probably does mate but if it works for MAC it'll work for me as well.

[QUOTE=NT001;512461]FWIW I pulled the following trading totals in ATM from Yahoo.com for the six months April 17-Oct 17, correlating them with the fall in share price over that period.
April 17-30 (10 days) 13,774,100 shares SP fall 85c to 81c
May (22 days) 44,229,000 80c to 78c
June (21 days) 50,863,000 78c to 69c
July (23 days) 21,331,400 70c to 65c
August (21 days) 21,907,000 63c to 64c
September (22 days) 25,193,500 62c to 58c
October 1-17 (13 days) 8,686,800 59c to 55c
Six-month total 185,984,800 85c to 55c
Trades equivalent to 28% of the company’s 660,066,979 shares on issue have taken place in six months.
There were three days, in May-June, when trades exceeded 10m shares, and there have been three other days when they were approx 6m or above. The last really big trading day was 26 August (8.25m)[ bang on information NT but with all these sells whose buying without triggering the substantial holding requirement
[QUOTE=ziggy415;512496]My guess would be fund managers (long term kiwisaver funds), with less than 5% and a multitude of small investors seeing that 55c is pretty good value, worth a crack based on perceived growth expectations, and sharebroker price targets around the 70c to 80c range. I am predicting that Milford will not buy much more in the near future given that it is getting closer to the 20% of issued capital mark and the liquidity issue inherent in the shares.
Appears as ATM is slowly having a lower weighting in some Milford Funds.
Probably a combo of both ATM price decline and Milford not topping up anymore (buying other things wih their inflows instead)
Some tend to try and build risk into a DCF base case like Forsyth Barr very often do, but that just leaves a prospective investor in a position where they must then analyse very carefully for themselves exactly where the analyst has been fair or unfairly conservative. It means their valuations can be very often a bit low too.
Some prefer to apply company set goals and targets and forecast beyond there based on available market analysis and product cycle growth curve estimates for each market and product. At the end of the day the company is the closest to the business, they may not be correct and there are always unknowns, they may perhaps though have the best window seat.
But, at the end of the day if anyone is trying to use DCF to model short term (under six month) moves in share price, forget it, there are much better type of model for that, DCF won’t help you with that much.
