.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.

Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model
g = 100 × (P0 × r – D0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($ × % – $) ÷ ($ + $) = %
where:
P0 = current price of share of Coca-Cola's common stock
D0 = last year dividends per share of Coca-Cola's common stock
r = required rate of return on Coca-Cola's common stock
Dividend growth rate (g) forecast
Coca-Cola Co., H-model
| Year | Value | gt |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | g1 | % |
| 2 | g2 | % |
| 3 | g3 | % |
| 4 | g4 | % |
| 5 and thereafter | g5 | % |
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 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= % + (% – %) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = %
g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= % + (% – %) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = %
g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= % + (% – %) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = %
