Hamilton has just paid a dividend of $2.50, and its stock has a required return of 11%. What is Hamilton’s estimated stock price today? If you bought the stock at Year 0, what are your expected dividend yield and capital gains for the upcoming year? What are your expected dividend yield and capital gains for the second year (from Year 1 to Year 2)? Why aren’t these the same as for the first year?
Conroy Consulting Corporation (CCC) has a current dividend of D0 = $2.5. Shareholders require a 12% rate of return.

After Year 2, the growth rate will stabilize at gL = 7%. What is CCC’s stock worth today? What is the expected stock price at Year 1?
