A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.25 at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $1.25), and it should continue to grow at a constant rate of 7% a year. If its required return is 12%, what is the stock's expected price 5 years from today? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer)
Given
Dividend | $1.25 |
Required Return | 12% |
Growth Rate | 7% |
Price of Stock 5 years from today = Dividend in Year 6 / (Required Return - Growth Rate)
Price of Stock 5 years from today = 1.25 (1.07)5 / ( 12% - 7%)
Price of Stock 5 years from today = 1.75 / 5%
Price of Stock 5 years from today = $35
