It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a rate of 16% per year for the next 2 years, and then at a constant rate of 8% thereafter. The company's stock has a beta of 1.4, the risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market risk premium is 3%. What is your estimate of the stock's current price? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
