The Present Value of Common Stocks
Unlike bond pricing, Excel does not have built-in functions for stock pricing, so we need to create our own equations
So, the stock price today with the constant dividend growth model is:
The constant dividend growth equation is just the present value of a growing perpetuity, but we could caution that
Using the same information from above, we can calculate the stock price for various growth rates.
g Stock price
0.00% $ 20.00
1.00% $ 21.43
2.00% $ 23.08
3.00% $ 25.00
4.00% $ 27.27
5.00% $ 30.00
6.00% $ 33.33
7.00% $ 37.50
8.00% $ 42.86
9.00% $ 50.00
Graphing the stock price versus the growth rate, we can see the impact of the growth rate:

With differential dividend growth, it is a matter of inputting the correct equations in Excel. Because the equation is s
use this stock price in the second part of the equation.
First, we need to calculate the present value of the first 5 dividends, which will be:
We have the present value of the first 5 dividends. Now, we need to calculate the present value of the future stock
The current stock price is the present value of the known dividends, plus the present value of the future stock price
