Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
Difficulty: Intermediate
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.

Required Rate of Return (r)
| Assumptions | ||
| Rate of return on LT Treasury Composite1 | RF | 3.29% |
| Expected rate of return on market portfolio2 | E(RM) | 12.36% |
| Systematic risk (β) of Alphabet's common stock | βGOOG | 0.91 |
| Required rate of return on Alphabet's common stock3 | rGOOG | 11.58% |
1 Unweighted average of bid yields on all outstanding fixed-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds neither due or callable in less than 10 years (risk-free rate of return proxy).
Calculations
3 rGOOG = RF + βGOOG [E(RM) – RF]
= 3.29% + 0.91 [12.36% – 3.29%]
= 11.58%
