Introduction
Security theory is a technique of evaluating the total profitability of a firm by assessing the
price of securities such as stocks as well as other securities. This information is helpful to
investors in making decisions. Consequential, technological, and financial methods are indeed
the 3 methods used to determine the value of shares. This kind of securing data is a method for
evaluating securities with the primary objective of determining a stock's economic worth. It
investigates the underlying factors that influence a stock's inherent value, such as a company's
earnings and position comments, management performance as well as future prospects, current
industrial circumstances, as well as the economy in general. In this report, Tesco have been
selected and different concepts of security analysis have been discussed. The important models
of DDM and RV have been used to value the stock of company.
Main body
Select a company to value that belongs in a major economic sector.
Tesco is a major British supermarket and manufacturer whose primary rivals are
Sainsbury's, ASDA, and Morrison's, collectively known as the "Big Four" throughout the UK.
Waitrose is indeed a major supermarket chain which follows the Big Four in terms of size. Lidl
and Aldi, German grocery stores, are becoming solid rivals throughout the U.K. supermarket
market in the coming years. Tesco often needs to compete from retail outlets, which have
become more prevalent as market trends move toward making fewer journeys for cheaper skills.
The market for convenience stores is heavily fractured. Tesco has a 27 percent of market share
throughout the UK grocery industry as of December 2020, accompanied by Sainsbury's as well
as ASDA, that have 15.7 percent and 14.1 percent market share, collectively. Market share has
been taken away from the big players by Aldi and Lidl. There are 635 store stores in total, with
584 of them being supermarkets. In regard to grocery, ASDA also runs larger format superstores
that sell clothes and furniture. As per consumer polls and building sustainability reporting,
Sainsbury's was its best-quality supermarket among its competitors. Waitrose is indeed a British
grocer with 336 stores, the majority of whom are groceries. Waitrose is regarded as a luxury
grocer, with an emphasis on the effect of its employees and manufacturing techniques. In an
effort to shake its image as a cheap food retailer, the business has run numerous price-matching
initiatives, matching Tesco's pricing on specific items.

Provide a brief description of the company you selected
Tesco as well as its big supermarket competitors have been chastised for exploiting their
monopoly roles and adding to a few of society's most pressing society and the environment.
Tesco controlled 15.6 percent of the U.K. supermarket retail sector in 2001, and became the
leading company by 6%. 4 Tesco's vast sales volume is still continuing to grow: since September
2004, this had risen to a whopping 28 percent, equivalent to around 12 percent. Tesco might
have resulted from a 2003 merging with Safeway that was blocked by competitive regulators.
Furthermore, Asda's majority shareholder, Wal-Mart, the country's leading corporation, is indeed
8 times larger than Tesco, generating sales revenue of $256 billion in 2003.
Although the Regulatory Bodies investigated the matter into grocery power during the
Blair administration, it appears doubtful that they will intervene to stop Tesco's apparent and
growing anti-competitive stance. On the opposite, they are simply allowing Tesco to expand.
Tesco was allowed to purchase ten of Safeway's stores after Morrisons purchased them in
September 2004. As portion of their purchase, the competent authorities forced them to sell.
After Tesco, Asda is Europe's third largest grocer, but according to Mintel market analysis from
2004, Tesco is making the difference. It is also the largest country busiest supermarket. Tesco
has 2,318 supermarkets in 12 worldwide and employs 326,000 people, including 237,000
throughout the United Kingdom. Tesco has 2,318 shops in 12 company currently employs
326,000 people, including 237,000 throughout the United Kingdom, where that is the main
industry. As per Terry Leahy, Tesco seems to be the leading company in six of the twelve
nations where it exists, with its biggest store being in Budapest, not Bristol or Birmingham.
Tesco was named most respected firm and its CEO, Sir Terry Leahy, was named most
respected businessman by Organizational Management only at conclusion of 2003. The ‘final
score' for both awards was perhaps the most remarkable element of Tesco's victory. Tesco often
won in the areas of ‘Operational Efficiency,' ‘Quality of Products & Services,' ‘Potential to
Recruit, Develop, and Retain Top Talent,' and ‘Value for Money.'
Estimate the cost of equity for the selected company
The simple meaning of cost of equity is related with the actual return an organisation needed to
make a decision for total investment meets the return on capital. In present, time companies use
this as a capital budgeting method in order to decide about the needed rate of return. Thus, it can
be states that cost of equity actually represent the payoff related with market demand in context
