Assume a company X has a constant dividend growth rate of 4% per annum for perpetuity. This year the company has given a dividend of $5 per share. Further, the required rate of return for the company is 10% per annum. Then, what should be the purchase price for a share of company X?
purchase price of stock | expected dividend/(required rate of return-growth rate) | 5.2/(10%-4%) | 86.67 |
expected dividend = current dividend*(1+growth rate) | 5*1.04 | 5.2 | |
required rate of return | 10% | ||
growth rate | 4% | ||
Purchase price of stock | 86.67 |
