What is a price differential and how is it computed? What information does a price differential provide to an analyst?


The price differential is the amount the market has discounted share price for risk. It is calculated by subtracting the market price from the residual income model price calculated using the risk-free rate of interest as opposed to the firm's equity cost of capital. It allows the analyst to gauge whether the market discount for risk is sufficient to compensate the investor to hold the firm's shares and bear risk.
