Formula to calculate the stock price of Year 6:
Where,
P6 refers to the price of stock in 6 years
Do refers to the dividend paid presently
R refers to the required return on the stock
g refers to the constant growth rate
n refers to the number of years
Note: The dividend value of Year 7 is computed to determine the price of stock in Year 6.
Formula to calculate the stock price of Year 3:
Where,
P3 refers to the price of the stock in Year 3
D1…Dn refers to the next period expected dividend per share
R refers to the required rate of return on its stock
g refers to the constant growth rate
Note: At the time when the required return changes frequently, then the stock price in Year 3 is the present value of the dividends in Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6 plus the present value of stock of Year 3.
Formula to calculate the current price of the share:
Where,
Po refers to the present price of stock
D1…Dn refers to the next period expected dividend per share
R refers to the required return on the stock
g refers to the constant growth rate
Compute the stock price of Year 6:
Hence, the stock price of Year 6 is $55.48.
Compute the stock price of Year 3:
Hence, the stock price of Year 6 is $46.58.
Compute the current price of the share:
Hence, the current price of the share is $37.21.
