Question

Stoneheart Group is expected to pay a dividend of $3.27 next year. The company's dividend growth rate is expected to be 3.4 percent indefinitely and investors require a return of 12.2 percent on the company's stock. What is the stock price

Answer 1

Answer:

The stock price is $37.16

Explanation:

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

Formula to calculate the value of stock

Price = Dividend / ( Rate or return - growth rate )

Price = $3.27 / ( 12.2% - 3.4% )

Price = $3.27 / 12.2% - 3.4%

Price = $3.27 / 8.8%

Price = $37.16
