Tesla is expected to pay a dividend of $3 per share at the end of this year; its beta is 0.9; the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is 6%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate g, and the stock currently sells for $40 per share. What does the market believe will be the stock's price three years from now?
Required return=risk free rate+Beta*market risk premium
=5.2+(6*0.9)=10.6%
Required return=(D1/Current price)+Growth rate
0.106=(3/40)+Growth rate
Growth rate=0.106-(3/40)
=0.031
P3=Current price*(1+Growth rate)^3
=40*(1+0.031)^3
=$43.84(Approx)
