dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this master thesis was to apply my knowledge in financial management to value Telenor Group as a comprehensive group. Our problem is thus:
"What is Telenor ASA worth per share on 31.12.2020."
The assignment starts with a presentation of the company's business, history, and strategy before I continue with describing competitors and markets. After Telenor and the market introduction, the next chapter of a strategic analysis of Telenor Group. The strategic analysis is divided into external analysis, where I have used the models PESTEL and Porter's industry analysis, and internal analysis, where I have used VRIO. It is all summarized in a SWOT analysis where I try to form a picture of Telenor's situation. Furthermore, an accounting analysis has been carried out where I calculate historical key figures and assess these. The conditions I arrived at in the analyzes have provided mainly guidelines for the assumptions in the valuation later in the thesis.
I have valued Telenor using a discounting of free cash flows (FCFF), the dividend model (DDM), and market-based valuations using P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples. The different methods returned slightly different numbers. The valuation methods returned share prices of NOK 194.11, 226.83, 159.32, and 231.89, respectively.
At a weighted average of the share prices, I have concluded with a price target of NOK 202.69. In comparison, the share price in the market as of December 31st, 2020, was NOK 145.90. | |
