When a stock is going through a period of nonconstant growth for T periods, followed by constant growth forever, the residual income model can be modified as follows:
P0 | = | T | EPSt + Bt−1 − Bt | + | PT |
Σ | (1 + k)t | (1 + k)T | |||
t = 1 |
where
PT | = | BT | + | EPST (1 + g) − BT × k |
k − g |
