Lite Events has been growing at a rate of 20% per year, and you expect this growth rate in earnings and dividends to continue for another 4 years. The last dividend paid was $2, and if the steady (i.e., constant) growth rate after 4 years is 5%, what should the stock price be today? Assume that the stock has a beta of 2.0, Treasury bills yield 3%, and the market risk premium is 6%.
*work please
As per CAPM,
Rf = Risk free Return or Treasury bills yield = 3%
Rmp = Market Risk Premium = 6%
Beta of STock = 2
Required Rate of Return = 3% + 2(6%)
=15%
Last Dividend Paid(D0) = $2
Growth Rate for next 4 years (g) = 20%
Growth rate thereafter(g1) = 5%
Calcualting the Stock Price:-
P0 = 2.0870 + 2.1777 + 2.2724 + 2.3712 + 24.8973
P0 = $33.81
So, Stock price today is $33.81
