Maximizing Shareholder Wealth • To maximize shareholder wealth, the financialmanager must maximize the market value of the firm’s common stock • Three factors determine the market value ofcommon stock:^ –^ Size of the firm’s cash flow^ –^ Timing of the firm’s cash flow^ –^ Risk of the firm’s cash flow stream

Cash Flow

•^ Cash flows, not accounting profits, are criticalto most financial analysis •^ Important cash flow concepts:

–^ Timing of cash inflows versus cash outflows –^ Cash flow is not equal to operating profit.
