Key Concepts

Dividend Discount Model

The Dividend Discount Model is a valuation method that calculates a stock’s intrinsic value based on the present value of its expected future dividends. When assuming a constant growth rate, the model simplifies to the Gordon Dividend Model, making it a fundamental tool in the analysis and estimation of a company’s cost of equity.

Gordon Dividend Model

This model, also called the Constant Growth Dividend Discount Model, is used to value a stock by assuming that dividends will increase at a constant growth rate indefinitely. It relates the cost of equity as the sum of the dividend yield (the next period’s dividend divided by the current stock price) and the growth rate of dividends, helping investors estimate the return required to justify the current price.

Cost of Equity

Cost of equity is the expected rate of return demanded by investors for holding a company’s common stock. It represents the compensation investors require for the risk of investing in the company and is crucial for evaluating investment projects and performing company valuations. Methods like the Gordon Dividend Model help in estimating this key metric.
