Darrens Holdings is expected to pay dividends of $1.00 every six months for the next three years. If the current price of Darrens stock is $22.70, and Darrens's equity cost of capital is 18%, what price would you expect Darrens's stock to sell for at the end of three years?
Current Price = PV of CFs from it.
Let X be the Price at Year 3.
Period | CF | PVF @9% | Disc CF |
1 | $ 1.00 | 0.9174 | $ 0.9174 |
2 | $ 1.00 | 0.8417 | $ 0.8417 |
3 | $ 1.00 | 0.7722 | $ 0.7722 |
4 | $ 1.00 | 0.7084 | $ 0.7084 |
5 | $ 1.00 | 0.6499 | $ 0.6499 |
6 | $ 1.00 | 0.5963 | $ 0.5963 |
6 | X | 0.5963 | 0.5963X |
Price Today | 4.4859+0.5963X |
Thus 4.4859 + 0.5963X = 22.70
0.5963X = 22.70 - 4.4859
= 18.2141
X = 18.2141 / 0.5963
= 30.55
Price after 3 years is $ 30.55
