#187 Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is a method used by investors to estimate the intrinsic value of a stock by analyzing its future dividend payments. It is based on the premise that the value of a stock is determined by the present value of all expected future dividends. The DDM is particularly useful for valuing stocks of companies that pay regular dividends.
There are two main variations of the Dividend Discount Model:
Gordon Growth Model (Single-Stage DDM):This model assumes that dividends will grow at a constant rate indefinitely. It is also known as the Gordon Growth Model or the Perpetuity Model. The formula for the Gordon Growth Model is:P0 = D1 / (r - g)P0: The current intrinsic value of the stock.
D1: The expected dividend to be received in the next period.
r: The required rate of return (discount rate).
g: The expected constant growth rate of dividends.
In this model, the key is to estimate a reasonable growth rate (g) and the required rate of return (r). If the growth rate is greater than the required rate of return, the formula doesn't work because it implies infinite value, which is unrealistic. This model is appropriate for mature companies with stable dividend growth.
Multistage DDM (Two-Stage or Three-Stage DDM):This model is used when a company's dividend growth rate is expected to change over time. It divides the analysis into two or more stages, each with its own growth rate. For example, a company might experience higher growth in its early years and then settle into a more stable growth rate. The formula for a two-stage DDM looks like this:P0 = [D1 / (1+r1)] + [D1(1+g1) / (1+r1)^2] + ... + [Dn(1+gn) / (1+rn)^n]**P0: The current intrinsic value of the stock.
D1, D2, ..., Dn: The expected dividends for each stage.
r1, r2, ..., rn: The discount rates for each stage.
g1, g2, ..., gn: The growth rates for each stage.
This model requires estimating different growth rates and discount rates for each stage of the company's life cycle.
It's important to note that the accuracy of DDM relies heavily on the accuracy of the assumptions, especially the growth rate and discount rate. Small changes in these values can lead to significant differences in the calculated intrinsic value. Additionally, DDM may not be suitable for companies that do not pay dividends or have erratic dividend patterns. In such cases, other valuation methods like the Price-Earnings (P/E) ratio or the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis might be more appropriate.
