Question

Portman industires just paid a divident of $2.40 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 12.00% over the next year. After teh next year, though, Portman's divident is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2.40% per year.

The risk free rate is 3.00%, the market risk premium is 3.60% and pormans beta is 1.90.

Assuming taht the market is in equilibrium

What are the dividends one year from now________

What is the Horizon value__________

What is the Intrinsic value of Portman's stock_______

What is the expected dividend yield for portmant stock today?

a. 5.95% b. 7.44% c. 7.26% d7.98%

Explanation / Answer

1. dividends one year from now = Dividend today* dividend growth rate

= 2.4*1.12

so, dividends one year from now =$2.688

2.Horizon value of share is P1

then

P1 = D2/(R-g) =D1*1.024 / (.0984 - .024)=2.688*1.024 / (.0984 - .024)

P1 = 36.996

3.

Required rate of return (As per CAPM model) = Risk free return + Beta*Risk premium

R = 3% +1.9*3.6% = 9.84%

Suppose, Intrinsic value of Portman's stock is P0.

then P0 = D1/(1+R) + P1/(1+R)

P1 = D2/(R-g) =D1*1.024 / (.0984 - .024)=2.688*1.024 / (.0984 - .024)

P1 = 36.996

So P0 =2.688/1.0984 + 36.996/1.0984 = $36.13

4.

Expected dividend yield = Dividend / Share price = 2.688/36.13 = 7.44%
