| shasha | the eps's domination keeps stock price climbing until its peak point, after that, based on M&M theory, bankruptcy cost turns to dominate and stock price turns to go down. high bankruptcy cost requires high rate of return. |
| setmefree | that should be the "trade-off" theory, since MM assumes no tax no bankruptcy cost |
| czar | Please could someone advise..where in the textbooks can i find the MM theory, please. |
| michlam14 | increased return due to increased leverage, decreased number of shares, meaning more return distributed to lower number of shares, increases EPS, increased profibility of the stock , hence increase share price |
| Kobe8kenji | MM theory can be found in all coporate finance textbook. |
| Kobe8kenji | except in CFA text :( |
| walterli | quantity goes down,price goes.....? |
