Business Valuation - Value of shares question

AAli2y ago
Question 6: A company has paid an annual dividend of $0.86 per share. Dividends are expected to grow by 3% per annum for next three years and by 5% per annum onwards for the foreseeable future. Company’s cost of equity is 12%. What is the current market value of ordinary shares? I got answer of 12.15$ through this method, pls check if its correct. Step1: Calculate dividends for 3 years by compounding it by 3% Step 2: Calculate MV of shares in 3 years time, using dividend value of dividend at end of year 3, g is 5% and Ke of 12 Step3: Discount the cash flows at 12% to get present value, which is our market value.

I have no idea where you found this question, but surely there is an answer to it in the same book? The steps you have listed are completely correct (but I do not have the time to check the final answer :-) )

I found this question from online notes while I was searching for your lecture on this topic. The notes did not had an answer, but if the steps are correct I believe the answer would be correct as well. Thanks for clearly explaining this concept
