Abunofal 1 Raghad Abunofal Professor Qi Sun FIN 304 03/17/2024 AL- Ch9 The most recently paid dividend by Bridges & Associates was $0.625 per share. For the coming 3 years, the annual growth of its dividend is expected to be 20%, 25% and 35% respectively. After 3 years, the dividend growth will slow down to a constant rate of 6% per year. The required rate of return on the stock of Bridges & Associates is 10%. 1. What would be the value of the stock today? The value of the stock today is $4.20. 2. What would be the value of the stock 5 years from today? The value of the stock 5 years from today is $37.71 3. If market is in equilibrium, calculate the total return stock investors expect to earn in year 1. Total return in Year 1 is dividend yield plus capital gains yield. 4. If market is in equilibrium, calculate the dividend yield and capital gains yield stock investors expect to earn in Year 5? The dividend yield for Year 5 will be calculated by dividing the dividend payment for Year 5 by the stock price for Year 5. The difference between the stock price changes from Year 4 to Year 5 divided by the stock price in Year 4 is the capital gains yield in Year 5.
Abunofal 2 5. If an investor expects to earn a total return of 12%, is the stock currently over-valued or under-valued? Explain. This anticipated return can be compared to the stock value determined in Year 0. The stock would be undervalued if the predicted return exceeded the computed value, and overvalued if it was less. Thus, we would contrast the $4.2056 stock's present value with the 12% predicted re- turn. The stock would be undervalued if the predicted return exceeded $4.2056; if not, it would be overvalued.
