  1. (1) Write out a formula that can be used to value any dividend-paying stock, regardless of its dividend pattern.
  2. (2) What is a constant growth stock? How are constant growth stocks valued?
  3. (3) What happens if a company has a constant gL that exceeds its rs? Will many stocks have expected growth greater than the required rate of return in the short run (i.e., for the next few years)? In the long run (i.e., forever)?

Suppose a stock is not currently paying dividends, and its management has announced that it will not pay a dividend for several years, but that it does expect to start paying dividends sometime in the future. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is most correct? Since it is expected to someday pay dividends, the value of the stock today can be found with this equation: PO = D1/(r - g). Under these conditions, we can estimate a value for the stock, but we cannot use any form of the constant growth DCF model to do so. Such a stock should have a value of zero until it actually begins paying dividends. The value of the stock can be found using DCF procedures by finding the present value of expected future dividends accounting for their timing and amount.
The dividend growth model I. assumes that dividends increase at a constant rate forever. II. can be used to compute a stock price at any point in time. III. can be used to value zero-growth stocks. IV. requires the growth rate to be less than the required return.
How could you use the nonconstant growth modelto find the value of the stock? Here you can assumethat the expected growth rate starts at a high level,then declines for several years, and finally reachesa steady state where growth is constant.
