To determine: Current value of stock.
Given information:
Earning growth rate for starting three years will be = 50%
Earning growth rate for following three years will be = 25%
After that earning growth rate will be = 8%
Required equity return will be 20% (2-4 years), afterwards 50%
Calculation of current value of stock:
Year | Earnings ($) | Dividends ($) |

- Microtech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings, hence it does not pay dividends. However, investors expects Microtech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.00 coming 3 years from Today. The dividend should grow rapidly-at a rate of 50 percent per year-during Years 4 and 5, but after Year 5 growth should be constant 8 percent per year. If the required return on Microtech is 15 percent, what is the value of the stock today?arrow_forwardThe VSE Corporation currently pays no dividend because of depressed earnings. A recent change in management promises a brighter future. Investors expect VSE to pay a dividend of $1.5 next year (the end of year 1). This dividend is expected to increase to $2.75 the following year and to grow at a rate of 13 percent per annum for the following 2 years (years 3 and 4). Chuck Brown, a new investor, expects the price of the stock to increase 55 percent in value between now (time zero) and the end of year 3. If Brown plans to hold the stock for 2 years and requires a rate of return of 17 percent on his investment, what value would he place on the stock today? Use Table II to answer the question. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ ?arrow_forwardPenn Electric just developed a revolutionary new type of method used to hydraulically generate electricity which is extremely efficient for use in a certain geographic location. As a result, Penn Electric is expected to experience a 15 percent rate of growth for the next 5 years, after which, growth will slow to 5 percent into the foreseeable future. The market requires a 12 percent return on Penn Electric stock and the most recent dividend paid was $1.75 per share. Calculate the theoretical value of the stock today.arrow_forward

You wish to value the shares of Terrapin Industries, a private firm with 100 million outstanding shares, $300M in debt, and $25M in excess cash. The company has a tax rate of 30%. You expect the company’s Sales to equal $300 million in 2022, and to grow at 10% per year through 2025. The company’s EBIT margin (i.e., EBIT as a % of sales) is expected to be 10%, while Net Working Capital is expected to equal 20% of (same year) sales. The balance sheet amount of Net Working Capital at the end of 2021 was $55 million. You expect that the company’s Net PP&E will remain constant from now through 2025 (i.e., capital expenditures will equal depreciation each year). After 2025, free cash flows are projected to grow at a constant 2% rate forever. You expect Terrapin to maintain a 50% D/V ratio in the future. Given this, you have estimated the beta of Terrapin’s equity (Be) at 1.1 and the beta of its debt (Bd) at 0.3. The current long-term risk-free rate is…arrow_forward
