Reading 42: Discounted Dividend Valuation
LOS m: Estimate a required return based on any DDM, the Gordon growth model, and the H-model.
If we increase the required rate of return used in a dividend discount model, the estimate of value produced by the model will:
The required rate of return is used in the denominator of the equation. Increasing this factor will decrease the resulting value.

If we know the forecast growth rates for a firm’s dividends and the current dividends and current value, we can determine the:
A) |
required rate of return. | |
B) |
net margin of the firm. | |
C) |
sustainable growth rate. | |
Just as we can determine the current value of the shares from the current dividends, growth forecasts and required return, we can solve for any one of them if we know the other three factors.

Which of the following is least likely a valid approach to determining the appropriate discount rate for a firm’s dividends?
A) |
Free cash flow to firm (FCFF). | |
B) |
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM). | |
C) |
Arbitrage pricing theory (APT). | |
FCFF is another discounted cash flow model, not a method to determine required returns. Each of the other answers is a valid approach to determining an appropriate discount rate.

If the risk-free rate is 6%, the equity premium of the chosen index is 4%, and the asset’s beta is 0.8, what is the discount rate to be used in applying the dividend discount model?
Click for Answer and Explanation
The discount rate = risk-free rate + beta (return expected on equity market less the risk-free rate). Here, discount rate = 0.06 + (0.8 × 0.04) = 0.092, or 9.2%.

In using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to determine the appropriate discount rate for discounted cash flow models (DCFs), the asset’s beta is used to determine the amount of:
|
B) |
the expected return in addition to the return required by the risk of the position. | |
C) |
risk-free rate applicable to the time period of the investment. | |
Beta measures the correlation between the equity market or index for which the market risk premium is calculated and the particular asset being valued. Beta is used to approximate the proportion of the equity risk premium applicable to the asset (in relation to the market or index used).

Analyst Kelvin Strong is arguing with fellow analyst Martha Hatchett. Strong insists that the dividend discount model can be used to calculate the required return for a stock, though only if the growth rate remains constant. Hatchett maintains that while such models are useful for calculating the value of a stock, they should not be used to calculate required returns. Who is CORRECT?
Dividend discount models can be used to calculate required returns, assuming you have the stock price, dividends, and dividend-growth rates, so Hatchett is wrong. Strong is right about the fact that a DDM can calculate required returns, but wrong about the growth rate assumption. Multistage dividend discount models can account for expected changes in the growth rate.

Which of the following groups of statistics provides enough data to calculate an implied return for a stock using the two-stage DDM?
A) |
Short-term growth rate, long-term growth rate, stock price, trailing 12-month profits. | |
B) |
P/E ratio, trailing 12-month profits, short-term PEG ratio, long-term PEG ratio, yield. | |
C) |
Yield, stock price, historical dividend-growth rate, historical profit-growth rate. | |
To calculate an implied return using the two-stage DDM, we need the stock price, the dividend, a short-term growth rate, and a long-term growth rate. In the correct answer, we can derive the stock price from the P/E ratio and profits, then derive the dividend from the price and the yield. Given the P/E ratio, we can also distill growth rates using the PEG ratios. Admittedly, earnings-growth rates aren’t the same as dividend-growth rates, but analysts routinely use either in their models. More to the point, this is the only answer in which we can come up with even imperfect data for all the needed variables. One choice does not provide us with a way to find the dividend. The other option does not give us the needed short-term and long-term growth rates.

An investor buys shares of a firm at $10.00. A year later she receives a dividend of $0.96 and sells the shares at $9.00. What is her holding period return on this investment?
The holding period return = ($0.96 + $9.00 / $10.00) – 1 = –0.004 or –0.4%

Given that a firm’s current dividend is $2.00, the forecasted growth is 7%, declining over three years to a stable 5% thereafter, and the current value of the firm’s shares is $45, what is the required rate of return?
The required rate of return is 9.8%.
r = ($2/$45) [(1 + 0.05) + (3/2)(0.07 – 0.05)] + 0.05 = 0.0980
Since the H-model is an approximation model, it is possible to solve for r directly without iteration.

Given that a firm’s current dividend is $2.00, the forecasted growth is 7% for the next two years and 5% thereafter, and the current value of the firm’s shares is $54.50, what is the required rate of return?
The equation to determine the required rate of return is solved through iteration.
$54.50 = $2(1.07) / (1 + r) + $2(1.07)2 / (1 + r)2 + {[$2(1.07)2(1.05)] / (r - 0.05)} / [(1 + r)2
Through iteration, r = 9%

CAB Inc. just paid a current dividend of $3.00, the forecasted growth is 9%, declining over four years to a stable 6% thereafter, and the current value of the firm’s shares is $50, what is the required rate of return?
The required rate of return is 12.7%.
r = ($3 / $50)[(1 + 0.06) + (4 / 2)(0.09 ? 0.06)] + 0.06 = 12.7%
Since the H-model is an approximation model, it is possible to solve for r directly without iteration.

Recent surveys of analysts report long-term earnings growth estimates as 5.5% and a forecasted dividend yield of 2.0% on the market index. At the time of the survey, the 20-year U.S. government bond yielded 4.8%. According to the Gordon growth model, what is the equity risk premium?
Equity risk premium = 2.0% + 5.5% – 4.8% = 2.7%

Currently the market index stands at 1,190.45. Firms in the index are expected to pay cumulative dividends of 35.71 over the coming year. The consensus 5-year earnings growth forecast for these firms is expected to increase to 6.2% up from last year’s forecast of 4.5%. The long-term government bond is yielding 5.0%. According to the Gordon growth model, what is the equity risk premium?
Equity risk premium = (35.71 / 1,190.45) + (6.2%) – 5.0% = 4.2%

An investor computes the current value of a firm’s shares to be $34.34, based on an expected dividend of $2.80 in one year and an expected price of the share in one year to be $36.00. What is the investor’s required rate of return on this investment?
The required return = [($36.00 + $2.80) / $34.34 ] – 1 = 0.13 or 13%.

An investor projects the price of a stock to be $16.00 in one year and expected the stock to pay a dividend at that time of $2.00. If the required rate of return on the shares is 11%, what is the current value of the shares?
The value of the shares = ($16.00 + $2.00) / (1 + 0.11) = $16.22

Given an equity risk premium of 3.5%, a forecasted dividend yield of 2.5% on the market index and a U.S. government bond yield of 4.5%, what is the consensus long-term earnings growth estimate?
Equity risk premium = forecasted dividend yield + consensus long term earnings growth rate – long-term government bond yield.
Therefore,
Consensus long term earnings growth rate =
Equity risk premium - forecasted dividend yield + long-term government bond yield
Consensus long term earnings growth rate = 3.5% - 2.5% + 4.5% = 5.5%

A firm pays a current dividend of $1.00 which is expected to grow at a rate of 5% indefinitely. If current value of the firm’s shares is $35.00, what is the required return applicable to the investment based on the Gordon dividend discount model (DDM)?
The Gordon DDM uses the dividend for the period (t + 1) which would be $1.05.
$35 = $1.05 / (required return – 0.05)
Required return = 0.08 or 8.00%

If the expected return on the equity market is 10%, the risk-free rate is 3%, and an asset’s beta is 0.6, what is the appropriate equity risk premium for the asset in applying the Gordon growth model?
The asset’s equity risk premium is equal to it’s beta times the difference between the expected return on the equity market and the risk-free rate. Equity Risk Premium = 0.6(0.10 ? 0.03) = 0.042 or 4.2%.
