Petrobras: A Case on Valuation for the Stock Investment Decision Other Languages

ID:
46584
Abstract:
This teaching case is based on a young beginner investor that in an attempt to maximize the return of his savings, under the lowest possible risks, applied in mid-2014 all of his resources in the Petrobras company, trusting that there would be future cash generation which would make possible to him the fulfillment of his economic objectives. Thus, the case demonstrates a practical example that can help in the reflection regarding the criteria of use of the accounting variables to determine the company’s value. It is hoped that the case will help the student to reflect on the risks of using assumptions in the valuation of a company, especially at times of little confidence in long-term predictability. A discussion was held regarding the fundamentals required to adopt a certain premise in the attempt to approximate the fair value of the asset, which cannot be defined arbitrarily or by venturing a guess. The case was constituted from both actual data for the information regarding the history and situation of the company, and the data developed by the authors for the information displayed. The process was carried out through the analysis of documents available on the company's website. The actual data refer to the period from 2010 to 2015, released in April 2016. The case was developed to be applied in undergraduate and graduate courses such as MBA, especially in the subjects that involve the topic of Business Valuation. In addition, the case is also recommended to be used in the subjects of Corporate Finance and Financial Management.
