Home Depot Inc. (HD) | Dividend Discount Model (DDM)

In discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation techniques the value of the stock is estimated based upon present value of some measure of cash flow. Dividends are the cleanest and most straightforward measure of cash flow because these are clearly cash flows that go directly to the investor.

2013 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net earnings – Cash dividends) ÷ Net earnings
= (4,535 – 1,743) ÷ 4,535 = 0.62

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net earnings ÷ Net sales
= 100 × 4,535 ÷ 74,754 = 6.07%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 74,754 ÷ 41,084 = 1.82

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 41,084 ÷ 17,777 = 2.31

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.52 × 4.89% × 1.72 × 2.27 = 9.87%


Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model

g = 100 × (P0 × rD0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($78.99 × 9.22% – $1.16) ÷ ($78.99 + $1.16) = 7.63%

where:
P0 = current price of share of 's common stock
D0 = last year dividends per share of 's common stock
r = required rate of return on 's common stock

1 g1 9.87%
2 g2 9.31%
3 g3 8.75%
4 g4 8.19%
5 and thereafter g5 7.63%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by Gordon growth model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 9.87% + (7.63% – 9.87%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 9.31%

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 9.87% + (7.63% – 9.87%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 8.75%

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 9.87% + (7.63% – 9.87%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 8.19%
