A company’s common stock is expected to pay $2 in dividends annually over the next four years. At the end of the fourth year, its stock is expected to be valued at $45. (5 pts) If the firm’s cost of equity is 12%, what is its intrinsic value today? (5 pts) What should its stock sell for in 1 year?
can you show al work!
Intrinsic value is basically the PV of the dividends of company, discounted at the Cost of Equity.
When we say stock is valued at $45 at the end of year 4, it means, $45 is the PV of all dividends expected from Year 5 till infinity.
D1 = $2
D2 = $2
D3 = $2
D4 = $2. To this add $45 as well, which is the PV (at t=4) of future value of dividends.
Intrinsic Value of stock today = 1.7857 + 1.5944 + 1.4236 + 1.2710 + 28.5983 = $34.67
Intrinsic value of stock in Year 1 =
Intrinsic value of stock after year 1 = 1.7857 + 1.5944 + 1.4236 + 32.0301 = $36.83
