Stock Z is expected to pay a dividend of $3 on one year, $8 in two years and subsequently one expects dividends to grow at a rate of 4%. If the required rate of return on the stock is 10%, what is the current stock price?
Next year dividend = D1 = $3, Dividend in two years = D2 = 8
Growth rate of dividends after 2 years = g = 4%
Required return of stock = r = 10%
Since dividends are expected to grow at 4% after year 2 , so we will use constant growth rate model to calculate the terminal value of stock at the end of 2 years
Let T be the terminal value of stock at the end of 2 years
T = 8.32 / 6% = 138.67
Now Let Current price of stock = P
P = 2.72 + 121.21 = 123.93
Therefore current price of stock = $123.93
