A company is expected to pay a dividend of $20 per share in one
year (t=1), then $25 for 8 years after that (payments at t=2
,3,...9), and on the 10th year (t=10) the dividend will be 2% less
than at t=9, and will continue to shrink every year after that
forever. The required return of the stock is 8%. All rates are
effective annual rates.
a) What is the price per share of the company's stock now?
b) The terminal value calculated at the end of year 9 (ie. at t=9)
is:
This is an example of Gordon Growth model where g is -ve 2%
Required rate of return | 8% |
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Dividend flows- | 20 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 24.5 |
PV of dividend | 18.52 | 21.43 | 19.85 | 18.38 | 17.01 | 15.75 | 14.59 | 13.51 | 12.51 | |
Terminal value at the end of 9th year | 245.00 | =25*(1-2%)/(8%--2%) | ||||||||
PV of terminal value dividend | 122.56 | =245/(1+8%)^9 |
PV of all dividend payments | 274.10 | =PV of dividends in years 1-9 + PV of terminal value dividend |
Price of share | 274.10 |
