Suppose you know that a company's stock currently sells for $69 per share and the required return on the stock is 10 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Current dividend per share In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so, then find the "terminal" stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.75. The dividends are expected to grow at 21 percent over the next five years. In five years, the estimated payout ratio is 35 percent and the benchmark PE ratio is 33. a. What is the target stock price in five years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the stock price today assuming a required return of 11.5 percent on this stock?
