Textbook Problem

# In the text, we discussed using the discounted dividend model to estimate a stock’s intrinsic value. To keep things as simple as possible, let’s assume at first that XOM’s dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% annually over time. So, g = 5%. If so, the intrinsic value equals D1/(rs − g), where D1 is the expected annual dividend 1 year from now, rs is the stock’s required rate of return, and g is the dividend’s constant growth rate. Go back to the summary (overview) screen and find XOM’s current dividend. Multiply this dividend by 1 + g to arrive at an estimate of D1.
