Q2)
A company has just paid dividend of $0.23 per share.
shareholders expecting the dividend to remain at $0.23 per share next year, but to increase at an average rate of 3% per annum thereafter.
Shareholder required rate of return is 12%, and the rate of corporation tax is 25%.
what will be the market value per share?
Q1 If dividend yield is 4% then the dividend is 4% x $3.20 = $0.128
Dividend cover is 3, and therefore the EPS = 3 x 0.128 = $0.384
Therefore PE = MV/EPS = 3.20/0.384 = 8.33
Q2 We use the dividend valuation formula from the formula sheet.
The ‘trick’ however is that the Do(1+g) on the top of the formula is in fact the dividend in 1 years time. Usually it is the current dividend + growth, but in this question it is an actual 23c in 1 year (and not 23 + growth)
Therefore the MV = 23 / (0.12 – 0.03) = 256c or $2.56
Thanks a lot John, really appreciate it 🙂
