FIN - Determine the Value of Your Firm’s Equity
Part Three:
Determine the Value of Your Firm’s Equity:
1. We will use the DividendDiscount Model to determine the firm’s equity – i.e., it will give us the current price of a share of stock. We will use this model to estimate the value
of a share of your firm’s stock and compare this estimate to the current market value of this firm’s stock.
2. Estimate the firm’s stock price using the DividendDiscount Model:
a.Use an investment source – e.g. www.yahoofinance.com , www.morningstar.com to find the following information:
Current dividend
ii. Analysts estimated growth rate for the next 510 years
b. Use your estimate of the cost of equity in the WACC for the rE part of your formula
c. Combine the above information into the DividendDiscount Model
3. Compare your result to the current market price of your firm’s stock. Describe, discuss, and analyze how they compare. Based on your knowledge of finance, how would you
explain any differences you observe?
