A firm just paid a dividend of $3.12. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.17% forever and the required rate of return is 11.00%. What is the value of the stock?
Information provided:
Current dividend= $3.12
Growth rate= 3.17%
Required rate of return= 11%
The question is solved using the dividend discount model.
Price of the stock today= D1/(r-g)
where:
D1=next dividend payment
r=interest rate
g=firm’s expected growth rate
Value of the stock= $3.12*(1 + 0.0317)/ 0.11- 0.0317
= $3.2189/ 0.0783
= $41.1098.
Therefore, the value of the stock is $41.11.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
