1.

The Dividend growth model links the value of a firm’s equity and its market cost of equity by modelling the expected future dividends receivable by the shareholders as a constantly growing perpetuity.

Its most common uses are:

(1) Estimating the market cost of equity from the current share price; and

(2) Estimating the fair value of equity from a given or assumed cost of equity.


Expressed as a formula: Ke = D1/P0 + g

OR (rearranging the formula)

P0 = D1/[Ke-g]

Where: P0 = ex-dividend equity value today.

D1 = expected dividend at Time 1 period hence.

Ke = cost of equity per period.

g = constant periodic rate of growth in dividend from Time 1 to infinity.

This is an application of the general formula for calculating the present value of a growing perpetuity.


2.

For example calculating the market value of equity:

D1 = expected dividend at Time 1 period hence = $10m

Ke = cost of equity per period = 10%

g = constant periodic rate of growth in dividend from Time 1 to infinity = 2%

P0 = D1/[Ke-g]

= $10m/[0.10 - 0.02 = 0.08]

= $125m.


3.

Or alternatively calculating the current market cost of equity using the rearranged formula:

Ke = D1/P0 + g

D1 = expected dividend at Time 1 period hence = $10m

P0 = current market value of equity per period = $125m

g = constant periodic rate of growth in dividend from Time 1 to infinity = 2%

Ke = $10m/$125m + 2%

= 10%.


Also known as the Dividend discount model, the Dividend valuation model or the Gordon growth model.
