is currently $1 per share and is supposed to grow at 10% a year forever. Its share price is $30. What is your best estimate of Divo’s cost of equity? According to the dividend discount model with constant growth expectations: Po=
Therefore, the return expected by the company shareholders, kE, is: Ke=
DIV1 = $1.10 is the dividend expected for next year [$1.00* (1 + 0.10) = $1.10, where 0.10 or 10 percent is the expected growth rate of dividends], P0 = $30 is the current share price, and g = 0.10 is the expected dividends’ growth rate.
