Inflation Unveiled: Understanding the Hidden Tax (Session 10)

We live in a nominal world. Our wages are in nominal terms, we pay taxes on those nominal wages and the returns we earn on our investments are in nominal terms. In this session, I look at how inflation is measured imperfectly and with some bias, and how it affects our nominal payoffs. Specifically, I look at how much value we lose out of our investments, simply because of the inflation effect, and why it behooves us all to think about not only inflation's effects on the past but in the future.

An Inflation Follow Up: Company Exposure to Inflation's Effects

In this session, I look at how inflation can affect the value of a company, through its value drivers, from growth to margins to reinvestment and risk. I argue that companies with significant pricing power, with low input costs and investments of short duration and high flexibility will have the strongest ability to pass inflation into their cashflows. The capacity to generate high and stable earnings, with little default risk, will determine how inflation affects discount rates. As a consequence, the effect of inflation, and in particular, unexpected inflation, can vary widely across companies. Looking at the last nine decades of US stock returns, I note that small cap and low price to book stocks have done much better during periods of high inflation. Focusing in on 2022, when inflation has been the lead story driving markets, I document that small cap and low price to book stocks have outperformed markets, just as in the 1970s. Adding on measures for risk and cash flows, ...
