Explanation:
The price of a stock is also known as price of equity. This is the price the equity of a company is presently worth. The price the potential investors will be able to purchase it. One of the ways of calculating price of a stock is the Dividend Discount Model which can be calculated by:
Ke = (D1÷Po) - g
Ke is the Cost of equity(i.e the required rate of return for investors)
D1 is the next year dividend payments
Po is the price of the stock
