In practice a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so then find the "terminal" stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.15. The dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent over the next five years In five years, the estimated payout ratio is 40 percent and the benchmark PE ratio is 21. What is the target stock price in five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Target stock price $ What is the stock price today assuming a required return of 12 percent on this stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, (e.g., 32.16)) Stock price $ check my work references ebook & resourcesExplanation / Answer
D5 = 1.15*1.2^5 =$2.861568 D5/E5 = 40% E5 = $7.15392 P5/E5 = 21 P5 = 7.15392*21 =$150.23 a. Target price in five years = $150.23 b. stock price today = 1.15*1.2/1.12 + 1.15*1.2^2/1.12^2 + 1.15*1.2^3/1.12^3 + 1.15*1.2^4/1.12^4 + 1.15*1.2^5/1.12^5 + 150.23/1.12^5 =$92.35
