You are considering an investment in General Electric’s common stock. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $5 a share at the end of this year; its beta is 0.9; the risk-free rate is 5.6%; and the market risk premium is 6%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate g, and the stock currently sells for $25 a share. Assuming the market is in equilibrium, what the market believes will be the stock’s price at the end of 3 years &5 Years?
Suppose that a firm with a stock price of $80 just announced that it expects to pay a $100 per share liquidating dividend in 1 year, although the exact amount of the dividend depends on the performance of the company this year. Assume that the CAPM is a good description of stock price returns and that the stock’s beta is 1.5, the market’s expected return is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 5%.
1) Is the stock priced correctly now?
2) What is the alpha of the stock?
3) What would you expect to happen to the stock price in an efficient market after the announcement?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
A firm's common stock has just paid a $3.00 dividend (Do), which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.0 percent each year. The beta of this stock is 1.30, the risk-free rate is 4.0 percent, and the expected return on the market is 10.0 percent. Determine how much you should be willing to pay (the intrinsic value) for this stock today. Assume that CAPM is the correct model for required returns.

- Suppose that your estimates of the possible one-year returns from investing in the common stock of the AYZ Corporation were as follows: Probability of occurrence 0.15 0.25 0.3 0.15 0.15 Possible return -10% 5% 20% 35% 50% What are the expected return? Calculate the standard deviation?arrow_forwardAssume now that CAPM holds. You need to estimate the price of one stock of company XYZ. You expect that this company’s earnings per share will be $4 in one year, your estimation of Present Value of Growth Opportunities today is $40. The company has just paid out the dividend for the previous financial year.
