Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a $12 per share dividend 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 4 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 13 percent, what is the current share price? |
Current price of share= V1 + V2
V1 = Value of first stage
Dividend= $ 12
Time period (n)= 10 years
Required rate of return (k)= 13%
V1= Div/(1+k)n
= 12/(1+0.13)10
=12 * 5.426
=65.11
V2 = Value of second stage
Dividend= $ 12
Time period (n)= infinite
Required rate of return (k)= 13%
Dividend growth rate(g)= 4%
V1= Div(1+g)/(k-g)(1+k)n
=12(1.04)/(0.13-0.04)(1+0.13)10
=12.48/0.09 *0.295
=40.91
Price of share= 65.11 + 40.91 = 106.02
