    Editorial Commentary In this issue, we present some of the largest multinational corporations trading

    on U.S. stocks exchanges. We analyze twenty of the cheapest components of the Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA), as determined by forward P/E. Several DJIA companies recently traded at no more than ten times estimated forward earnings. These companies include Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Merck (NYSE: MRK), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), and Travelers (NYSE: TRV).

    Many of the superinvestors we track, including David Einhorn, John Paulson and David Tepper, have embraced large, high-quality stocks over the past year, and some have argued explicitly that large caps are significantly cheaper than small caps, setting up a scenario in which high-quality companies may finally outperform their junkier peers. One of the most vocal advocates for high-quality stocks has been famed asset allocator Jeremy Grantham of GMO. In a January 25th letter, the increasingly bearish Grantham argues that bulls are living on borrowed time and that U.S. quality stocks are the least overpriced equities.

    While we focus on bottom-up analysis, we thought it might be instructive to review five top-down measures of U.S. equity market valuation in this report, if only to establish a basis for judging Granthams bearish outlook. As the following table shows, four of the five indicators below suggest that U.S. equities are overvalued. The only metric that puts equities into slightly undervalued territory is the Dow Jones Industrial Average expressed in terms of gold. This metric may reveal more about the price of gold, however, than about the valuation level of the Dow.

    As promised last month, we include an analysis of the market performance of

    our featured ideas in this report. Importantly, we show all the ideas we have selected as top ideas in past reports, thereby avoiding the credibility issues associated with selective disclosure. While you can inspect the performance of our featured ideas on a company-by-company basis, we highlight one summary statistic here: On average, our featured ideas have returned 51% from their respective feature dates through December 31, 2010, versus a comparable return of 25% for the S&P 500 Index. We are pleased with this record and believe it reflects our proprietary value-oriented approach, but we caution that past performance is in the past. It is no guarantee or even indication of future performance. We also note that our reports do not present investment recommendations but merely food for thought.

    A rather cautious equity market outlook notwithstanding, we find the following three DJIA components quite interesting:

    Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO, $21 per share; MV $119 billion)

    Cisco is the dominant provider of data infrastructure products that enable the functioning of the Internet and improve network connectivity. The company enjoys favorable long-term demand prospects, based on expected growth of Internet data traffic and a proliferation of web-enabled devices, including smartphones. The company has a solid balance sheet with a net cash position, and trades at a high-single digit trailing FCF yield, which we find quite enticing for a company of Ciscos quality. Balancing the potential reward is the risk that technological change and competition may exacerbate existing margin pressure.

    A sell-off following the companys earnings announcement in November provides an opportunity to invest in Cisco at an attractive price that is likely lower than that paid by at least three superinvestors David Teppers Appaloosa, Larry Robbins Glenview and Sandy Nairns Edinburgh Partners, who initiated a new holding or increased their existing holding during the September 2010 quarter.

    Our analysis of three valuation scenarios based on our estimate of normalized operating income suggests a fair value range of $19-30 per share (see page 52).

    CISCO SYSTEMS OPERATING CASH FLOW, FY90FY10 ($ in billions)

    Cisco has reported positive and, with a few exceptions, growing cash flow over two decades.

    Pfizer (NYSE: PFE, $18 per share; MV $147 billion)

    Pfizers purchase of Wyeth in 2009 diversified revenue and improved the drug pipeline. An estimated 40% of 3Q10 revenue, however, remains vulnerable over the next five years due to expired or yet-to-expire drug patents (mostly by 2012, including blockbuster drug Lipitor). Nonetheless, the markets valuation may reflect too pessimistic a judgment regarding Pfizers ability to stabilize and grow earnings over time. Management expects net income to grow 5% from 2010 to 2012, helped by $4-5 billion in cost reductions and revenue contributions from new products.

    The company is among the largest holdings of superinvestors David Tepper, David Einhorn, Alan Fournier, and John Griffin.

    We find Pfizers stock price of $18 per share rather compelling in light of consensus estimates for EPS of $2.30 in 2011. An analysis of three valuation scenarios based on our estimate of normalized operating income suggests a fair value range of $19-31 per share (see page 96).

    PFIZER KEY PATENT EXPIRATIONS

    % of Q3 Patent1

    Top 10 Drugs Primary indication Revenue Expiry Lipitor Reduction of LDL cholesterol 16% expired (2010)2 Enbrel (outside N.A.) Arthritis, psoriasis, spondylitis 5% n/m3 Lyrica Epilepsy, neuralgia, fibromyalgia 5% 2018 Prevnar Pneumococcal vaccine 5% n/m Celebrex Arthritis, inflammation, acute pain 4% 2014 Viagra Erectile dysfunction 3% 2012 Xalatan / Xalacom Glaucoma and ocular hypertension 3% 2011 Norvasc Hypertension 2% expired (2007) Zyvox Bacterial infections 2% 2015 Geodon / Zeldox Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder 2% 2012 Pfizer - Revenue of top 10 biopharmaceutical products 44%

    1 Refers to the year in which the U.S. basic product patent expires (including six-month exclusivity period). 2 The U.S. basic product patent for Lipitor, including the pediatric exclusivity period, expired in March 2010. Pfizer has a patent covering the enantiomeric form of the drug, which (including the exclusivity period) expires in June 2011. Pfizer expects it will lose the substantial portion of our U.S. revenues from Lipitor shortly after exclusivity expiration in November 2011). The U.S. accounted for ~50% of Lipitor revenue in 3Q10. 3 Pfizer has exclusive rights to the biologic Enbrel outside the U.S. and Canada and co-promotes Enbrel with Amgen in the U.S. and Canada. Revenue figure reflects sales outside U.S./Canada only, with U.S./Canada sales included in "Alliance" revenue (not listed in our table; "Alliance" revenue was $1.0 billion in 3Q10 including sales of Enbrel in the U.S. and Canada, Aricept, Exforge, Rebif and Spiriva). The Enbrel patent, which is owned by Amgen, expires in October 2012 in the U.S. Pfizer's U.S./Canada co-promotion agreement with Amgen expires in October 2013 (Pfizer is entitled to a royalty stream for 36 months thereafter, which is significantly less than its current share of Enbrel profits from U.S. and Canadian sales). Pfizer's rights to Enbrel outside the U.S. and Canada will not be affected by the expiration of the co-promotion agreement.

    Travelers (NYSE: TRV, $56 per share; MV $26 billion)

    Property and casualty insurer Travelers has compounded book value per share in the high teens, on average, since 2005. While this strikes us as quite an achievement, especially given the companys modest use of debt, the market is not impressed. Investors value the shares roughly in line with yearend 2010 shareholders equity and at only a modest premium to tangible book value. Given the companys exposure to catastrophe and some long-tail risks, the downside may not be as well protected as the valuation implies. Nonetheless, the risk-reward appears favorable. Value-accretive share repurchases, which have reduced share count by one-third over the past three years, are set to continue.

    Superinvestors with a stake in Travelers include David Einhorn and Mason Hawkins. For Hawkins, the investment in Travelers was newly initiated during the third quarter of 2010.

    We find the recent stock price of $56 per Travelers share rather enticing given consensus EPS estimates of $6.09 for this year. An analysis of three valuation scenarios based on book value and our estimate of normalized net income suggests a fair value range of $45-87 per share (see page 100).

    We are pleased to include a special section in this report, featuring insights and ideas from selected participants in the VALUEx investment conference in Zurich and Klosters, Switzerland, February 2-4. As you browse through the mini-interviews, you will undoubtedly notice a remarkable diversity of experience, focus and opinion among the respondents. We found these exchanges an invaluable learning tool and a great snapshot of the global value investing community today. It is a pleasure to be associated with such a remarkable group, and Guy Spier and I are excited to host everyone for a few days of learning, skiing, and friendship.

    The Manual of Ideas Performance Review In this section, we review the performance of ideas featured as top ideas in past issues of The Manual of Ideas. Nothing in our reports should be construed as an investment recommendation. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. A few observations:

    From inception in November 2008 through yearend 2010, The Manual of Ideas featured ideas have delivered an average total return of twice the return of the S&P 500 Index ETF (+51% vs. +25%). This is not time-adjusted.

    The average performance of top ideas for the one-year holding period following their featured dates is +56% versus +25% for the S&P during the equivalent time periods.

    From inception in November 2008 through yearend 2010, The Manual of Ideas featured 123 top ideas in 23 monthly reports (average of five top ideas per report). 63% of top ideas were selected only once.

    80% of top ideas featured since inception in November 2008 through yearend 2010 have a positive total return. Of the 25 ideas that have a negative return, 11 were down less than 10% since their feature date through yearend 2010.

    View From The Top: Five Takes on Market Valuation We consider five measures of U.S. equity market valuation:

    Tobins Q, i.e., market value to replacement value Robert Shillers P/E using average earnings for the past ten years Equity market capitalization to GDP Shiller ten-year average earnings yield divided by prevailing ten-year interest rate Dow Jones Industrial Average in terms of gold

    As the following table shows, four of the five measures are above their historical averages, suggesting that the U.S. equity market may be overvalued. One measure, the DJIA in terms of gold, has recently been slightly below its historical average, suggesting that equities may be modestly undervalued relative to gold.

    Tobins Q Economics Nobel Laureate James Tobin conceptualized the Q ratio as a measure of over- or undervaluation of publicly traded assets. In its simplest form, Q equals market value divided by replacement cost. If the market value of an asset exceeds the cost of replacing it (Q>1), an incentive exists to recreate the asset and immediately sell it in the market at a premium to cost. As a result, incremental real investment will tend to force high Q ratios back down to parity (Q1). Historically, a successful market-timing strategy over the past century would have been to buy U.S. equities when the Q ratio was at 0.40 or less, and to sell U.S. equities when then Q ratio was above 1.00.

    Tobins Q has increased from 0.92 at the end of 2009 to 1.09 as of January 2011, based on Federal Reserve data and our estimates. During this time, the numerator of Q (market value of debt and equities adjusted for land value and net liquid assets) has increased 19%, while the denominator (replacement cost) has remained flat. A Q ratio of 1.09 sends a rather bearish long-term signal for U.S. equities, though historical experience shows that Q can move even higher in the short term. Our analysis of Tobins Q suggests that caution is warranted in equity markets. We highlight one important caveat: Future erosion of Tobins Q may not necessarily translate into declining equity prices if replacement cost increases at an accelerating pace due to inflation. Replacement cost has historically increased at a single-digit annual pace, though increases have been higher during inflationary periods. If replacement cost rises sharply, Q could decline even as market value remains constant or increases. If the Feds quantitative easing produces an inflationary environment, equity prices could rise.

    Shillers Ten-Year Trailing P/E Robert Shiller uses average annual earnings for the past ten years as the input into his P/E data series. Using ten-year average earnings normalizes for the effects of cyclical upturns and downturns, yielding an earnings number that may be more appropriate than current earnings. The Shiller P/E recently stood at 23x, meaningfully above the historical average of 16x.

    The following charts show data provided by Robert Shiller going back more than one hundred years, including stock

    prices, earnings, ten-year average P/E ratios, and long-term interest rates.

    Dow Jones Industrials in Terms of Gold The following charts show the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the price of gold since 1900, along with the relationship between the two time series. It is obvious from the second chart that the DJIA, expressed in ounces of gold, has swung wildly over the past century, considerably more so than either time series has fluctuated in its own right. Gold has tended to be relatively cheap at times of equity market booms, while the metal has shown itself popular in equity bear markets.

    The recent reading of DJIA in terms of gold of 8.8 ounces is modestly below the historical average and suggests that equities are not overvalued, at least in terms of gold. Of course, this is no guarantee for equity outperformance, as gold prices are notoriously volatile and could conceivably decline in the future.
