Question

The price of NetFlex stock is $54.54; its expected dividend next year is $6, and its constant annual growth rate thereafter is 5%. What is the required rate of return on the stock

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of return is 16.11%

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 )

$54 = $6 / ( Rate or return - 5% )

Rate or return - 0.05 = $6 / $54

Rate or return - 0.05 = 0.1111

Rate or return = 0.05 + 0.1111

Rate or return = 01611

Rate or return = 16.11%
