Underperforming companies should watch out

Article Abstract:

Stockholder value is created when the cost of capital is less than returns for capital. There are a number of ways of calculating this. Companies have to assess where value is created and where it is destroyed, and hive off the latter business activities. Companies should make it clear that they are taking action so that the market responds and the company's stock prices reflects the company's true value. Institutional investors should keep in touch with senior executives to foster communication, according to the Cadbury report, which examined corporate governance in the United Kingdom.
