Particulars | Year 0 | Year 1 | Year 2 |
Current Dividend /share | $ 1.50 | ||
Year 2 & Yr 3 dividends with 10% growth | $ 1.65 | $ 1.82 | |
Terminal Value of future dividends at Yr 2 | |||
g=Grwoth rate =-3% | |||
D0=dividend paid in Year 2=1.82 | |||
Required return=k=12% | |||
Terminal Value=D0(1+g)/(k-g)=1.82*(1-3%)/(12%+3%) = | $ 11.77 | ||
Future Dividends+Terminal values | $ 1.65 | $ 13.58 | |
PV discount factor @12%= | 0.8929 | 0.7972 | |
PV of Future dividends+Terminal value= | $ 1.47 | $ 10.83 | |
Sum of PV of Future dividends+Terminal value= | $ 12.30 | ||
So current Value per share = | $ 12.30 |
