Case Study
1. Should stockholder wealth maximization be thought of as a long-term or a short-term goal?For example, if one action increases a firm’s stock price from a current level of P40 to P45in 6 months and then to P50 in 5 years but another action keeps the stock at P40 forseveral years but then increases it to P70 in 5 years, which action would be better?
A firm just paid a dividend of D0 = ₱1.32. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% in Year 2, and at a constant rate of 5% in Year 3 and thereafter. The required return on this low-risk stock is 9.00%. What is the best estimate of the stock’s current market value?
