If the last dividend paid by the company was $2.15, estimate the dividends for the next 5 years. Compute the present value of these dividends if the required rate of return is 14%.arrow_forwardConsider a company that is projected to generate revenues of $104 million next year. Analysts expect revenues to grow at a 4.6% annual rate for the following two years (until the end of year 3) and then at a stable rate of 2.5% in perpetuity.

- A company is projected to have a free cash flow of $243 million next year, growing at a 5.6% rate until the end of year 3. After that, cash flows are expected to grow at a stable rate of 2.1%. The company's cost of capital is 12.7%. The company owes $71 million to lenders and has $17 million in cash. If it has 221 million shares outstanding, what is your estimate for its stock price?

The company’s expected growth rates over the next four years are as follows: 25 percent, 30 percent 35 percent, and 30 percent. The company then expects to settle down to a constant-growth rate of 8 percent annually. If the required rate of return is 12 percent, what is the present value of the dividends over the fast growth phase?arrow_forwardYou forecast the future cash flow of Jaffe Ltd, a young growing company. You expect fast growth through the first four years, at which time the company will mature and you expect it to grow by 2% per year forever more after. The following are the forecast cash flows: Year 1: $5 million Year 2: $10 million Year 3: $15 million Year 4: $20 million Year 5: $20.4 million Year 6: $20.808 million Year 7 onward: continued growth at 2% per year The discount rate is 9%. What is the value of Jaffe today at Year 0? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Report your result in millions of dollars. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign and the word “million” in your response. For example, if your answer is $1,234,567 just write 1.23.)arrow_forward

Your analysis shows that the firm’s growth rate will drop from its current pace by 20% each of the next two years, and then you estimate that dividends will continue to grow at the year 2 rate, with the same dividend policy in place, indefinitely. Lastly, your estimate of the required return on the firm’s equity is 12%. Hoffman’s recently published annual report shows the following financial relationships: Assets = 1.4 x Equity Current Assets = 1.7 x Current Liabilities Sales = 1.5 x Assets Net Income = 8% x Sales Dividends = 30% x Net Income Earnings per share (Basic) = $0.80 per share Required: Use the multi-period DDM to estimate the intrinsic value of the company’s stock now, at the beginning of year 1.arrow_forwardYou are interested in determining the intrinsic value of Hoffman Inc.
