为何 DCF 不适合 Berkshire Hathaway Inc.(BRK-B)

Insurance - Diversified · NYSE

现金流 DCF 并非 BRK-B 的合适模型

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 属于银行、保险或房地产企业。标准的折现现金流模型以自由现金流为公司估值,但对这类公司而言,自由现金流并不能干净地衡量其价值。银行和保险公司应以账面价值、净资产收益率(ROE)和市盈率(PE)来估值;REIT(房地产投资信托)则应以运营资金(FFO)和股息来估值,而非自由现金流。在此套用自由现金流 DCF 会得出误导性的数字,因此不予显示。

常见问题

为何折现现金流模型不适合用来给 Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 估值?

作为保险公司,Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 预先收取保费,多年之后才赔付,因此其现金流随浮存金和准备金变动而起伏,并不跟随可分配的自由现金流。标准的现金流 DCF 会误读这种时间错配,可能因为错误的原因,把一家盈利的保险公司显得现金充裕或现金紧张。保险公司应改以账面价值和承保业绩来判断。

那么 Berkshire Hathaway Inc.(BRK-B)应改用什么方法估值?

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 更适合用市净率(P/B),连同显示承保是否盈利的综合成本率,以及净资产收益率(ROE)来解读。稳定的承保利润和不断增长的账面价值,才是长期积累价值的来源。BRK-B 的 PE 视角涵盖了基于盈利的角度。
