Earley Corporation issued perpetual preferred stock with a 12% annual dividend. The stock currently yields 9%, and its par value is $100.
annual dividend= 12% of $100 = $12
current yield = 9% = 0.09
Stock value = annual dividend/ current yield
= $12/0.09
= $133.33
Suppose interest rates rise and pull the preferred stock's yield up to 15%
new market value of stock = $12/0.15 = $80.
Hence, the market value falls to $80 with the rise in stocks yield from 9% to 15%
