Session 11: Equity Valuation: Industry and Company Analysis in a Global Context Reading 40: Discounted Dividend Valuation
LOS l: Explain terminal value and discuss alternative approaches to determining the terminal value in a discounted dividend model.
The growth rate for a firm is forecast to be 8% for three years and 5% thereafter. If the required rate of return is 10%, and the dividend expected in year three is $4.67 per share, what will be the present value of the terminal value of the company?
Terminal Value = ($4.67 × 1.05) / [(1 + 0.10)3 (0.10 ? 0.05)] = $73.68
The terminal value is computed at the end of year three, based on year four’s dividends, and discounted back to the present at the required rate of return. |
