Gordon Growth Model • Assumes constant growth rate g of dividends and a known discount rate r, where r > g. V0 = d1 / (r – g) = d0 (1+g) / (r – g) • Implications of Growth Model • Decrease in r (discount rate), will cause value of stock to be higher • Increase in expected growth rate of dividends (g), will cause value of stock to be higher • Increase in next year’s expected dividend (d1) will cause value of stock to be higher
