A firm just paid a dividend of $4.20. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.06% forever and the required rate of return is 10.76%. What is the value of the stock?
The question can be solved using dividend discount model.
Value of the stock today=D1/(r-g)
where:
D1=next dividend payment
r=interest rate
g=firm’s expected growth rate
Value of stock today= $4.20*(1 + 0.0406) /(0.1076 - 0.0406)
= $4.3705/ 0.0670
= $65.23.
