A corp just paid a dividend $1.5, anaylysts believe the dividends will grow at 8% next year, 6% the following year, and 4% thereafter. If stocks of this risk have a required return of 18%, what should the price be today?
Please solve using the CF buttons and explain
Year 1 cash flow = 1.5 * (1 + 8%) = 1.62
Year 2 cash flow = 1.62 * (1 + 6%) = 1.7172
Year 3 cash flow = 1.7172 * (1 + 4%) = 1.785888
Value at year 3 = D4 / required rate - growth rate
Value at year 3 = 1.785888 / 0.18 - 0.04
Value at year 3 = 1.785888 / 0.14
Value at year 3 = $12.756343
Price of stock = 1.62 / (1 + 0.18)1 + 1.7172 / (1 + 0.18)2 + 1.785888 / (1 + 0.18)3 + 12.756343 / (1 + 0.18)3
Price of stock = 1.372881 + 1.233266 + 1.086947 + 7.763904
Price of stock = $11.46
