    HI JOHN,

    Is it possible for a growth rate using dividend valuation model to exceed ke (cost of Equity)?.

    I am lost and confused as I was attempting a question which asks for a prospective share price.

    Ke using CAPM was 8.8%, however with a constant forecasted growth of 9%.

    do =21cents
    g=9%
    Ke=8.8%

    I get

    mv = do (1+g)
    ———–
    ke-g

    mv = .21(1.09)/.088-.09)

    mv =-114.45

    please help.what am I doing wrong?.

    thanks in advance

    The growth rate will not be higher than the cost of equity (shareholders would demand a higher return if the growth rate were higher).

    If you say which question you are referring to then I will find out where you are going wrong (if it is a past exam question, or a question from the BPP Revision Kit).
