A stock has a required return of 13% and a dividend yield of 2%. The price of the stock is $58 and the stock is currently in a constant dividend growth phase. What will be the stock’s price be in 5 years?
The stock price is computed as shown below:
The dividend is computed as follows:
= Dividend yield x price of the stock
= 2% x $ 58
= $ 1.16
The growth rate is computed as shown below:
= required return - Dividend / price of stock
= 0.13 - $ 1.16 / $ 58
= 11% or 0.11
So, the price of the stock is computed as follows:
= Current price x (1 + growth rate)5
= $ 58 x (1 + 0.11)5
= $ 97.73 Approximately
