Abstract

Investors mainly use PER and PBR among financial ratios for valuation and investment decision-making. I conduct an analysis of two basic financial ratios from a statistical perspective. Financial ratios contain key accounting numbers which reflect firm fundamentals and are useful for valuation or risk analysis such as enterprise credit evaluation and default prediction. The distribution of financial data tends to be extremely heavy-tailed, and PER and PBR show exceedingly high level of kurtosis and their extreme cases often contain significant information on financial risk. In this respect, Extreme Value Theory is required to fit its right tail more precisely. I introduce not only GPD but exGPD. GPD is conventionally preferred model in Extreme Value Theory and exGPD is log-transformed distribution of GPD. exGPD has recently proposed as an alternative of GPD(Lee and Kim, 2019). First, I conduct a simulation for comparing performances of the two distributions using the goodness of fit measures and the estimation of 90-99% percentiles. I also conduct an empirical analysis of Information Technology firms in Korea. Finally, exGPD shows better performance especially for PBR, suggesting that exGPD could be an alternative for GPD for the analysis of financial ratios.

투자자들은 기업가치를 평가하기 위하여 재무비율을 활용하는데 특히 PER과 PBR은 적정 기업가치를 판단하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 대표적인 수치로 알려져 있다. 금융자료는 꼬리가 매우 두터운 형태의 분포를 따르는 경우가 많은데, PER과 PBR은 첨도가 매우 높으며 해당 재무비율의 극단치들은 기업의 다양한 이해관계자들의 의사결정 시 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 통계학의 극단치이론에서 주로 활용되는 GPD와 최근 새롭게 제안된 분포인 exGPD를 도입하고, 두 분포 간의 성능을 비교하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 적합도를 살펴본 후 우측 꼬리에 속하는 90, 95, 99% 퍼센타일 값을 추정하여 실제 값과 비교한다. 다음으로 국내 증권시장에 상장된 정보기술군(IT) 기업들의 PER, PBR 자료에 근거하여 실증분석을 수행한다. 분석 결과 특히 PBR에서 exGPD가 GPD에 비해 자료의 우측 꼬리 영역을 보다 효과적으로 설명함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 재무비율에 기반한 기업가치평가 또는 위험관리 시 극단치의 특성을 효과적으로 반영할 수 있는 exGPD와 같은 분포를 활용한다면 꼬리 영역에 담긴 정보를 보다 정확하게 파악할 수 있다. 이는 기업 내부 위험관리자의 효과적인 지식경영을 돕고, 투자자를 비롯하여 다양한 외부 이해관계자들에게 유용한 지식을 제공할 수 있다.
