6. Expected returns, dividends, and growth
The constant growth valuation formula has dividends in the numerator. Dividends are divided by the difference between the required return and
dividend growth rate as follows:
Po

D₁
(Tx-g)
Which of the following statements is true?
Increasing dividends will always increase the stock price.
○ Increasing dividends will always decrease the stock price, because the firm is depleting internal funding resources.

Multiple Choice O O O As the payout ratio goes up, the stock price also goes up. DDM can be used to calculate the terminal value. According to DDM, the discount rate should be greater than the growth rate of dividends. According to DDM formula, there is a one period lag between the times of stock price and the dividend payment. If the payout ratio is fixed, the growth rates of earnings and dividends are same.arrow_forwardThe dividend growth model I. assumes that dividends increase at a constant rate forever. II. can be used to compute a stock price at any point in time. III. can be used to value zero-growth stocks. IV. requires the growth rate to be less than the required return.arrow_forward
