A stock just paid an annual dividend of $6.4. The dividend is expected to grow by 2% per year for the next 4 years. In 4 years, the P/E ratio is expected to be 11 and the payout ratio to be 60%.
The required rate of return is 8%.
What is the expected capital gains yield?
Capital gains yield is the percentage price appreciation on an investment. It is calculated as the increase in the price of an investment, divided by its original acquisition cost.
Formula = (P1-P0)/P0
Where,
Expected EPS = (DPS + Growth rate) Dividend payout ratio
= 6.4+2% = 6.528/60*100= 10.88
Expected MPS (P1) = Expected EPS*P/E ratio = 10.88*11 = 119.68
Total return formula = [(P1-P0)+D0]/P0 = (119.68-P0+6.4)/Po= 8%
P0 = 116.74
Therefore, capital gain yield = (119.68-116.74)/116.74*100 = 2.52%
