Unilever will start to pay an annual dividend of $0

Finance Oct 23, 2020

Unilever will start to pay an annual dividend of $0.85 next year. Analysts then expect this dividend to grow at 10% per year until the end of year five. Thereafter growth will level off at 3% per year forever. According to the dividend-discount model, what is the value of a share of Unilever stock if the firm’s equity cost of capital is 6%?

Expert Solution

Formula for example

Value of Unilever Stock is as follows -

(0.85(1.1))/(1.06) +

0.85(1.1)^2/1.06^2 +

0.85(1.1)^3/1.06^3 +

0.85(1.1)^4/1.06^4 +

0.85(1.1)^5/1.06^5 +

(((0.85(1.1)^5)*0.03)/(0.06-0.03))/1.06^5

= 0.80 + 0.83 + 0.86 + 0.90 + 0.93 + 31.93

= $36.25

Hence the cost of Unilever stock is $36.25.
