You have gathered the following information about Firm D: the current earnings per share for the year are £0.25, and the company has just paid out 18% of the earnings as cash dividend to shareholders. The investors require a minimum equity return of 12.25%. You project that Firm D will retain 70% of its earnings for the next two years. For the subsequent two years, the firm plans on retaining 50% of its earnings. The dividend payout ratio will then increase to 60% in the following year. From that point forward it will retain only 10% of its earnings. The earnings growth rate is 21% until the end of year 4, and 15% for the subsequent two years. For the period thereafter the earnings and dividend growth rate will slow to a long term rate of 4.5%. Calculate the fair value of the company's shares using the dividend discount model.
