Question

Stock Valuation.  Why does the value of a share of stock depend on dividends?  Based on the dividend growth model, what are the two components of the total return on a share of stock?  A substantial percentage of the companies listed on the NYSE and the NASDAQ don’t pay dividends, but investors are nonetheless willing to buy shares in them.  If the value of a share of stock depends on dividends, how is this possible?

Hamilton Landscaping's dividend growth rate is expected to be 30% in the next year, drop to
15% from Year 1 to Year 2, and drop to a constant 5% after Year 2 and all subsequent years.
