Expectations Investing

Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns

By: Michael J. Mauboussin, Alfred Rappaport

Narrated by: Steve Routman

Expectations Investing offers a unique and powerful alternative for identifying value-price gaps. Rappaport and Mauboussin provide everything the listener needs to utilize the discounted cash flow model successfully. And they add an important twist: They suggest that rather than forecasting cash flows, investors should begin by estimating the expectations embedded in a company's stock price. An investor who has a fix on the market's expectations can then assess the likelihood of expectations revisions. To help investors anticipate such revisions, Rappaport and Mauboussin introduce an "expectations infrastructure" framework for tracing the process of value creation from the basic economic forces that shape a company's performance to the resulting impact on sales, costs, and investment. Investors who use Expectations Investing will have a fundamentally new way to evaluate all stocks, setting them on the path to success. Managers will be able to use the book to devise, adjust, and communicate their company's strategy in light of shareholder expectations.

Great book for a more educated investor. Definitely not the first book you should read from this outstanding author Mausboussin

It’s a phenomenal book to read once you have already read other Michael Mausboussin articles & books. The guy is a genius.

Decent

Good book, but I assume it would be much more insightful if it were in a paperback format (accompanying PDF can be difficult to navigate at times).
