| Abstract | As developing countries become increasingly important and integrated into the world economy, the valuation of companies in emerging markets has aroused the interest of the finance literature. In this context, one of the key issues of valuation in emerging markets is the incorporation of country-specific risks in valuation models. As it is shown by the literature reviewed, many authors have researched how these risks should be assessed in both intrinsic (discounted cash flow method) and extrinsic (multiples method) valuation approaches. In general, these scholars agree on the incorporation of country risk assessment in the valuation of firms in emerging markets, supporting that this is a widespread practice among investors and market analysts. Hence, this study aims to identify the relationship between EV/EBITDA multiples paid for Brazilian companies listed in Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) and the Brazil risk (as measured by the JP Morgan’s EMBI+ Brazil Index) along the period from 2003 to 2010. Regression estimations were made in order to test the initial hypothesis of this study, which states that the drop in Brazil risk (EMBI+ Brazil) at least partially explains the increase of EV/EBITDA multiples paid for the Brazilian companies during the period of analysis. For this purpose, this study suggests the inclusion of the variable Brazil risk in the original regression model developed by Acosta-Calzado (2011), which was devised for estimating EV/EBITDA multiples for companies in various regions of the world, including emerging markets. Results obtained show that there is a negative relationship between EV/EBITDA multiples and Brazil risk, providing evidence for supporting the initial hypothesis of this study. |
