Assume that Temp Force is a constant growth company whose last dividend (D0, which was paid yesterday) was 2.00 and whose dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a 6% rate. (1) What is the firms current estimated intrinsic stock price? (2) What is the stocks expected value 1 year from now? (3) What are the expected dividend yield, the expected capital gains yield, and the expected total return during the first year?
Conroy Consulting Corporation (CCC) has a current dividend of D0 = $2.5. Shareholders require a 12% rate of return. Although the dividend has been growing at a rate of 30% per year in recent years, this growth rate is expected to last only for another 2 years (g0,1 = g1,2 = 30%). 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? What is the Year 1 expected (1) dividend yield, (2) capital gains yield, and (3) total return? What is its expected dividend yield for the second year? The expected capital gains yield? The expected total return?
Nonconstant Growth Stock Valuation Simpkins Corporation does not pay any dividends because it is expanding rapidly and needs to retain all of its earnings. However, investors expect Simpkins to begin paying dividends, with the first dividend of 0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidlyat a rate of 80% per yearduring Years 4 and 5. After Year 5, the company should grow at a constant rate of 7% per year. If the required return on the stock is 16%, what is the value of the stock today (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return)?
Start with the partial model in the file Ch07 P27 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbook’s Web site. Hamilton Landscaping’s dividend growth rate is expected to be 30% in the next year, drop to 15% from Year 1 to Year 2, and drop to a constant 5% for Year 2 and all subsequent years. 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?
CALCULATING THE WACC Here is the condensed 2019 balance sheet for Skye Computer Company (in thousands of dollars): Skyes earnings per share last year were 3.20. The common stock sells for 55.00. last years dividend (D0) was 2.10, and a flotation cost of 10% would be required to sell new common stock. Security analysts are projecting that the common dividend will grow at an annual rate of 9%. Skyes preferred stock pays a dividend of 3.30 per share, and its preferred stock sells for 30.00 per share. The firms before-lax cost of debt is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The firms currently outstanding 10% annual coupon rate, long-term debt sells at par value. The market risk premium is 5%, the risk-free rate is 6%, and Skyes beta is 1.516. The firms total debt, which is the sum of the companys short-term debt and long-term debt, equals 1.2 million. a. Calculate the cost of each capital component, that is, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock, the cost of equity from retained earnings, and the cost of newly issued common stock. Use the DCF method to find the cost of common equity. b. Now calculate the cost of common equity from retained earnings, using the CAPM method. c. What is the cost of new common stock based on the CAPM? (Hint: Find the difference between r1 and rs as determined by the DCF method, and add that differential to the CAPM value for rs.) d. If Skye continues to use the same market-value capital structure, what is the firms WACC assuming that (1) it uses only retained earnings for equity and (2) if it expands so rapidly that it must issue new common stock?
WACC Estimation On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm’s present market value capital structure, shown here, is considered to be optimal. There is no short-term debt. New bonds will have an 8% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders’ required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so the dividend yield is $1.20/$30 = 4%.) The marginal tax rate is 40%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity? Assuming there is sufficient cash flow for Tysseland to maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC? Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC? No numbers are required to answer this question.
