In: Finance
TCU Corp. pays a current dividend of $5 per year, which is expected to grow by 10% the next two years, then by 6% for the following two years, and from year 5 and on maintain a 3% constant growth. The discount rate is 8%. Calculate the current price of one share of TCU Corp.
Step-1, Dividend for the next 4 years
Dividend in Year 0 (D0) = $5.00
Dividend in Year 1 (D1) = $5.5000 [$5.00 x 110%]
Dividend in Year 2 (D2) = $6.0500 [$5.5000 x 110%]
Dividend in Year 3 (D3) = $6.4130 [$6.05 x 106%]
Dividend in Year 4 (D4) = $6.7978 [$6.4130 x 106%]
Step-2, Share Price in Year 4
Dividend in Year 4(D4) = $6.7978
Dividend Growth Rate after Year 4 (g) = 3.00% per year
Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 8.00%
Share Price in Year 4 (P4) = D4(1 + g) / (Ke – g)
= $6.7978(1 + 0.03) / (0.08 – 0.03)
= $7.0017 / 0.05
= $140.03
Step-3, The current price of one share of TCU Corp.
As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 4
