3-1 Homework: Stock Valuation 1. Turbo Technology Computers is experiencing a period of rapid growth. Earnings and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 15% during the next two years, at 13% in the third year, and at a constant rate of 6% thereafter. Turbo's last dividend was $1.15, and the required rate of return on the stock is 12%. Calculate the value of the stock today. - The value of the stock today is $25.21. Calculate P1^ and P2^ - P1^ = $26.92; P2^ = $ 28.63; P3^ = $30.34 Calculate the dividend yield and capital gains yield for Years 1, 2, and 3. Year + = Total Return 1 + 12% 2 + 19% 3 + 26% Capital Gains Yield Dividend Yield 4.9% 5.3% 5.7% 6.8% 13.5% 20.3% The value of the stock today for Turbo Technology Computers is $25.21. The implication here is that investors are willing to pay this price given their required rate of return and the expected future dividends. The present value for Turbo’s stock is increasing from the present value of $25.21 to $26.92 in Year 1, $28.63 in Year 2 and $30.34 in Year 3. These values suggest that investors have high expectations for dividend growth. The steady increase in dividend yields and capital gains yield implies that the business is doing good and is in good financial health. The only concerning point is that hopefully, the company is also investing in their growth, and they are not just increasing their investors’ dividends. 2. Kassidy's Kabob House has preferred stock outstanding that pays a dividend of $5 at the end of each year. The preferred sells for $50 a share. What is the stock's required rate of return? Assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return.
The required rate of return is found by dividing the dividend paid by the stock price. RRR = $5 / $50 = 0.1 or 10% “The required rate of return is the minimum return an investor is willing to accept for assuming the risk of making an investment”. (Datarails, 2021) This implies that if Kassidy's Kabob House issues more preferred stock in the future, their new investors will expect a 10% return based on the current market conditions. This required rate of return will also influence the company’s future financial decisions on how to finance their growth. If they choose to issue more preferred stock, then they need to be prepared to provide a 10% RRR to their new investors. 3. McCaffrey's Inc. has never paid a dividend, and when the firm might begin paying dividends is not known. Its current free cash flow (FCF) is $100,000, and this FCF is expected to grow at a constant 7% rate. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%. McCaffrey's currently holds $325,000 of non-operating marketable securities. Its long-term debt is $1,000,000, but it has never issued preferred stock. McCaffrey's has 50,000 shares of stock outstanding. The value of operations (V0) represents the present value of the future cash flows generated by the company's core operations. McCaffrey’s has an estimated Value of operations of $2,675,000. This amount implies that the company can generate revenue, manage costs, and is able to contribute to profitability and shareholder value. The total value of the company, including non-operating assets and debt, is $2,000,000. This amount represents the total value of the entire firm, this is also referred to as a company’s market capitalization. A market cap implies the collective worth of the company's outstanding shares of stock in the open market at a specific point in time. It reflects how the market thinks of the company's current financial health, growth predictions, and overall performance. The estimated value of common equity is
$1,000,000, which is the residual value available to common shareholders after satisfying debt obligations. The $1million also implies the potential equity that will be available to common shareholders in case the company is sold. The estimated per-share stock price of $20 indicates the value that each share of McCaffrey's Inc. is estimated to have in the market. All the findings above suggest that the company has sufficient assets to cover its long-term debt, and common shareholders have an estimated equity value of $1,000,000.
