Stock valuation using Dividend Discount Model
Take dividends of the assigned compaies in the last 5 years.
Find out the dividend per share for both companies in each of the five years
Take the required rate of return either from Fama and French model or CAPM (if RRR from CAPM/ FAMA model is negative, then calculate RRR from P/E ratio)
Analyze the dividend behavior of the companies and tell whether the dividend payouts show zero growth, constant growth or multi-stage growth
According to the growth model you found out, find out the intrinsic value of the firm
If the company dividend payout does not show any a straight forward growth rate, ( e.g Rs.8 dividend in 2000, Rs.10 in 2001, Rs.9 in 2002, Rs.8 in 2003 and Rs.10 in 2004 etc) then calculate present value of the five years dividends individually and after fifth year assume that dividends growth rate becomes contants at a rate of::
1%
2%
3%
4%
5%
That means that with the above 5 assumptions about the growth rates, you will have to calculate 5 different intrinsic values for each company using DDM
As DDM is forward looking, the intrinsic value should be compared the market share price of the company in the first year,not in the last year.
Using the multi-stage growth model
P = Do(1+g)/ (k-g)
Compare the intrinsic value with the actual share price to tell whether the stock is under valued or over valued
Stock valuation using P/E technique
Find out the intrinsic value of the companies by using the P/E technique.
Intrinsic value = P/E x EPS1
Eps1 is the next year expected EPS: You can find that out by finding the yearly growth rate in EPS of last five years and then using geometric mean find out the average growth rate. Multiply the average growth rate with the present year EPS to find out the next year EPS1
Example of Geometric mean =
GM = [(1+.25) x (1-0.1)) x (1-0.11) *-x (1+0.25)]1/n – 1
= [1.25 x 0.8 x 0.89 x 1.25]1/4 -1
= [1.25]1/4 – 1
= 1.057 -1
= .057 5.7%
EPS1 for year 2005 will be: EPSo x (1+growth rate)
= 10x(1+.057) => 10.57
Or you can take the expected EPS of the next year from a brokerage house or any other analysts. In that case, make sure you provide the supportive tables or any other data that to provide evidence for the validity of EPS1
Compare the intrinsic value with the actual share price to tell whether the stock is under valued or over valued
