An analyst has made the following estimate of Company Z’s dividends. After 5 years of growing annually at 2% from an initially value of $1.00, company Z is expected to quit growing and pay a constant dividend of $1.5 indefinitely. (10 pts) If the required return is 12%, what should the stock of Company Z sell for today?
Terminal value at year 5 = Constant dividend /rs
= 1.5 / .12
= 12.50
year | Dividend | PVF 12% | Dividend *PVF |
1 | 1 | .89286 | .89286 |
2 | 1 (1+.02)= 1.02 | .79719 | .81313 [1.02*.79179] |
3 | 1.02(1+.02)= 1.0404 | .71178 | .74054 |
4 | 1.0404(1+.02)= 1.0612 | .63552 |
.67441 |
5 | 1.0612(1+.02)= 1.0824 | .56743 | .61419 |
5 | 12.50 | .56743 | 7.09288 |
value of stock today | 10.83 |
