Value of Preferred Stock FORMULA
Gordon Growth Model FORMULA
to find the value of a share of stock today using the two-stage model, do the following 6 steps
- Forecast the dividend cash flows for the supernormal period year by year.
- Discount the supernormal dividends back to the present at the required rate of return.
- Find the first normal growth dividend.
- Use the Gordon model to find the value of the cash flows from the end of the high-growth period through infinity.
- Discount the Gordon model result back to the present (remembering to place it in the appropriate time period).
- Add together the values from steps 2 and 5.
For purposes of the Gordon model, dividends that are “recently paid,” “currently being paid,” or “paid today” all refer to time ___dividends, or ___, not ___
0, D0, D1
For purposes of the Gordon model, dividends that are “___,” “___,” or “___” all refer to time 0 dividends, or D0, not D1
recently paid, currently being paid, paid today
discounted rate of return FORMULA

D1 =
D0 (1 + g)
expected growth rate FORMULA
