1. A company just paid a dividend of $1.10 per share. The consensus forecast of financial analysts is a dividend of $1.50 per share next year and $2.20 per share two years from now. Thereafter, you expect the dividend to grow 4% per year indefinitely into the future. If the required rate of return is 9% per year, what would be a fair price for this stock today?
