Non-Constant Dividend Growth Model
Non-constant growth model assumes that the company pay dividends based on its growth stage. According to the model, different amounts of dividends are paid in the initial years and then at some point of time they enter a phase with constant dividend growth model. Therefore, for the period in which the dividends paid are varying,
Stock price for non-constant growth model can be computed as follows:
Step 1
Find dividends for the non-constant growth period and discount them to the present value
Step 2
Compute the dividend at the start of the constant growth period and then using constant growth model, calculate the horizontal value of the stock at the end of the non-constant growth period.
Step 3
Find the present value of this horizontal stock price
Step 4
Add the present value of all the dividends and the present value of the horizontal price, to determine the current stock value
