Diversification is the process of spreading risk to limit the possibility that a single adverse event could have a catastrophic effect.
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.


Often referred to as 'Don't put all your eggs in the same basket'.
Its most common uses are:


In corporate finance the term is often used to mean the process of ensuring that an investment portfolio is constructed such that all possible specific risk (diversifiable risk) is eliminated.
(1) Estimating the market <u>cost of equity</u> from the current share price; and


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


Diversification is a form of risk reduction.


However, some residual risks cannot be eliminated by diversification.

(DGM).

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 future dividend at Time 1 period later.

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.


Example 1: Market value of equity

Calculating the market value of equity.


Where:

D1 = expected dividend at future Time 1 = $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 )

= 10 / ( 0.10 - 0.02 )

= 10 / 0.08

= $125m.


Example 2: Cost of equity

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

Ke = D1 / P0 + g


Where:

D1 = expected future dividend at Time 1 = $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 = 10 / 125 + 2%

= 10%.


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