Energy Console is a new alternative energy company that is expected to experience short-term supernormal dividend growth rates of 50% in year 1, 40% in year 2 and 25% in year 3. After 3 years of supernormal growth, this company dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. However, today due to the volatility in the technology stocks, analysts have made downward projection on its short-term growth rates to 15% in year 1, 10% in year 2 and 8% in year 3 and long-term constant growth rate of 5% due to uncertainty of the world economy. If the most recent dividend paid is $2 per share and its required return remains at 15%, approximately how much do you expect the change in Energy Console’s stock price per share today (indicate increase or decrease and show your calculation steps)?
