This would cause the expected growth rate to increase or decrease, thereby affecting the valuation model. For companies in such situations, you would refer to the variable, or nonconstant, growth model for the valuation of the company's stock. Consider the case of Portman Industries: Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $2.40 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its dividend is expected to grow by 12.00% over the next year.
