Financial Goals of the Corporation
The primary financial goal is
shareholder wealth maximization,
which translates to maximizing stock
price.
Do firms have any responsibilities to
society at large?
Is stock price maximization good or bad
for society?
Should firms behave ethically?
1-11
Is stock price maximization the
same as profit maximization?
No, despite a generally high correlation
amongst stock price, EPS, and cash flow.
Current stock price relies upon current
earnings, as well as future earnings and
cash flow.
Some actions may cause an increase in
earnings, yet cause the stock price to
decrease (and vice versa).

Agency relationships
An agency relationship exists whenever
a principal hires an agent to act on their
behalf.
Within a corporation, agency
relationships exist between:
Shareholders and managers
Shareholders and creditors
1-13
Shareholders versus Managers
Managers are naturally inclined to act in
their own best interests.
But the following factors affect
managerial behavior:
Managerial compensation plans
Direct intervention by shareholders
The threat of firing
The threat of takeover
1-14
Shareholders versus Creditors
Shareholders (through managers) could
take actions to maximize stock price
that are detrimental to creditors.
In the long run, such actions will raise
the cost of debt and ultimately lower
stock price.

flow stream
