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.

2018 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income attributable to DuPont – Dividends declared on common stock – Preferred stock dividends) ÷ (Net income attributable to DuPont – Preferred stock dividends)
= (3,844 – 3,491 – 0) ÷ (3,844 – 0) = 0.09

2 Profit margin = 100 × (Net income attributable to DuPont – Preferred stock dividends) ÷ Net sales
= 100 × (3,844 – 0) ÷ 85,977 = 4.47%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 85,977 ÷ 188,030 = 0.46

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total DuPont’s stockholders’ equity
= 188,030 ÷ 94,571 = 1.99

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.21 × 7.21% × 0.59 × 2.54 = 2.26%

Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model

g = 100 × (P0 × r – D0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($66.12 × 16.16% – $4.56) ÷ ($66.12 + $4.56) = 8.66%

where:
P0 = current price of share of DuPont de Nemours Inc.’s common stock
D0 = last year dividends per share of DuPont de Nemours Inc.’s common stock
r = required rate of return on DuPont de Nemours Inc.’s common stock

1 g1 2.26%
2 g2 3.86%
3 g3 5.46%
4 g4 7.06%
5 and thereafter g5 8.66%

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)
= 2.26% + (8.66% – 2.26%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 3.86%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 2.26% + (8.66% – 2.26%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 5.46%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 2.26% + (8.66% – 2.26%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 7.06%
