Dividend Discount Model Calculator is an online tool that calculates the value of equity shares in terms of present value. This model assumes that the present value of equity is equal to all its future dividends.
The model states that the dividend will affect the market price of shares. The dividend discount model talks only about dividends. It does not take into account the concept of capital appreciation. According to this model, shareholders are more interested in dividend distribution at a constant rate each year rather than retention of profits.
The major assumption under the dividend discount model is that the growth rate of dividend is constant.
The formula for calculating the value of stock through the dividend discount model is:
Value of Stock = Expected Dividend Per Share / (Cost of equity – Dividend Growth Rate)
