Two-Stage Dividend Discount Model

Two-Stage Dividend Discount Model

This model is designed to value the equity in a firm, with two stages of growth, an initial
period of higher growth and a subsequent period of stable growth.

Assumptions
1. The firm is expected to grow at a higher growth rate in the first period.
2. The growth rate will drop at the end of the first period to the stable growth rate.
3. The dividend payout ratio is consistent with the expected growth rate.

The user has to define the following inputs:

1. Length of high growth period
2. Expected growth rate in earnings during the high growth period.
3. Dividend payout ratio during the high growth period.
4. Expected growth rate in earnings during the stable growth period.
5. Expected payout ratio during the stable growth period.
6. Current Earnings per share
7. Inputs for the Cost of Equity
