What is the dividend yield for each of these four stock? What is the expected capital gains yield? Discuss the relationship among the various return that you find for each of these stocks.
We will calculate the stock price now and 1year later to calculate the capital gains
1) Stock W
Price at time t=0
Po= Div1/ (r-g)
Div0 = $4.50
Dividend for next year= Div1 = $4.95 =(1+10.%) *4.5
Cost of equity= r= 18%
growth rate of dividends/earnings= g= 10%
Current stock price= Po=
Plugging in the values:
Po= $61.8750 =4.95/(18.%-10.%)
Price at time t=1
Po= Div1/ (r-g)
Div1 = $4.95
Dividend for next year= Div2 = $5.445 =(1+10.%) *4.95
