14.7: Dividend Discount Model (Solutions)
The following table presents the solutions to the problems on the prior page.
- As G increases, R – G decreases, and P increases. G, as the growth rate in dividend, also affects D 1 (because D 1 = D 0 [1 + G]). As G increases, so too does D 1 .
- So far, we have assumed that P = V, i.e., Market Price = Intrinsic Value. If however, V > P, we then have an unusual opportunity to achieve an excess (“unearned”) return; if the opposite pertains, we should sell the stock – if we already own it, or sell it short – if we are aggressive
Stock prices climb a wall of worry.
