Key Concepts

Dividend Discount Model (DDM)

The Dividend Discount Model is a valuation method used to estimate the value of a company’s stock by forecasting its future dividend payments and discounting them back to their present value. It is grounded in the idea that the value of a stock is the sum of all its future dividends, making accurate dividend projections essential.

Compound Growth

Compound growth refers to the process of calculating the increased value of dividends over time by applying growth factors multiplicatively. Each period's dividend is computed by multiplying the previous dividend by one plus the growth rate, which reflects the reinvestment effect and exponential increase over time.

Multi-Stage Growth

Multi-stage growth models address situations where a firm’s dividend growth rate changes during different phases of the company’s life cycle. This involves applying one growth rate for an initial period and then transitioning to a different rate for subsequent periods, enabling a more realistic and tailored forecast of dividend payments.
