The Jackson–Timberlake Wardrobe Co. just paid a dividend of $3.93 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 8.84 percent on the company's stock.
What will the stock price be in 10 years?
The formula for the Constant dividend growth model is
Stock Price Now= Dividend for next period / (Required rate of Return - Growth Rate)
Dividend for next period = Dividend Now ( 1 + Growth Rate)
= 3.93 (1 + 4.5%)
= 4.10685
Stock Price Now= Dividend for next period / (Required rate of Return - Growth Rate)
= 4.10685 / (8.84% - 4.5%)
= 105.3038
Stock Price after 10 Years = Stock Price Now (1 + Required return)^n
= 105.3038 (1 + 8.84%)^10
= 245.657
So the stock price in 10 years will be $245.657
