Valuation

The dividend growth model (DDM) calculates the value of any business. It takes into account the dividends per share (DPS), rate of return, and the growth rate. One finds the growth rate by computing the difference between the dividends paid in the years 2018 and 2019. Using a rate of return of 8% gives various stock values. AT&T had an intrinsic value of 34, Apple Inc. had 122, and Kellogg had 37, Exxon 183, whereas Bristol-Myers had 30 dollars. One notes that AT&T had a market price per share (MPS) of 30.08; Apple had 364, Kellogg 66, Exxon 44, and Bristol 59 dollars. Such results show that only AT&T and Exxon Mobil are undervalued. An investor purchasing these companies is likely to take advantage of capital gains.

Rate of return of 12%

Changing the rate of return varies the intrinsic values of the shares. One notes that AT&T has a value of 20.4, Apple 47, Kellogg 22, and Exxon Mobil 59 while Bristol has a value of 17 dollars. Such results show that all the stocks are overvalued. A prudent investor would not purchase any of the shares from these companies.

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

CAPM is a technique used to find the required rate of return. It takes into account the risk-free rate, the beta value, the market rate, and the risk premium (Capital Asset Pricing Model, 2015). Rate of return is obtained as the sum of the risk-free rate and the product of beta and the risk premiums.
