Stock Valuation The price of a share of stock is the total value of
the company divided by the number of shares outstanding
Stock price by itself doesn’t represent firm value Number of shares outstanding
Stock price is determined by the demand and supply for the shares
Investors try to value stocks and purchase those that are perceived to be undervalued by the market
New information creates re-evaluation

Stock Returns
The returns on a stock over one period (Rt) can be divided into capital gains and dividend returns:
Pt = stock price at time t
Dt = dividends paid over time t – 1 to t
(Pt – Pt – 1) / Pt – 1 = capital gain over time t – 1 to t
Dt / Pt – 1 = return from dividends paid over time t – 1 to t
The returns on a stock over one period (Rt) can be divided into capital gains and dividend returns:
Pt = stock price at time t
Dt = dividends paid over time t – 1 to t
(Pt – Pt – 1) / Pt – 1 = capital gain over time t – 1 to t
Dt / Pt – 1 = return from dividends paid over time t – 1 to t

share per year.
1. What is Jake’s pre-tax holding period return?CF0 = - $55.10
CF1 = $.30
CF2 = $.30 + $56.30 = $56.60

Example: 1-period Dividend Growth Model
Mary expects Longs Drug Stores to pay an annual dividend of $.56 per share in the coming year and to trade $45.50 per share at the end of the year. Investments with equivalent risk to Longs’ stock have an expected return of 6.80% What is the most Mary would pay today for

Example: 1-period Dividend Growth Model
What is the most Mary would pay today for Longs’ stock?
What dividend yield and capital gain rate would Mary expect at this price?
At this price, Longs’ dividend yield is Div1/P0 = 0.56/43.13 = 1.30%.
The expected capital gain is $45.50 - $43.13 = $2.37 per share, for a capital gain rate of 2.37/43.13 = 5.50%.
Total return is 1.30% + 5.50% = 6.80%

Jake is considering buying Polo stock which is currently
priced at $62 per share. Polo paid a dividend at the end of
last year of $2.50 per share. Jake’s required rate of return is
5%. Should Jake buy the stock, assuming:
1. The dividend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future?
2. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 1% into the foreseeable future?
3. The dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 3% for the next 4 years and then at a rate of 1% thereafter?

Limitations of Dividend-Discount Model
We cannot use the constant dividend growth model to value the stock of the following types of firms: Firms that pay no dividends Firms whose growth rate continues to change over
time until they mature
There is great uncertainty associated with any forecast of a firm’s future dividends in relationship to the Dividend-Discount Model

young Their growth rate continues to change over time until
they mature
There is great uncertainty associated with any forecast of a firm’s future dividends in relationship to the Dividend-Discount Model
