Equity Valuation using Gordon Model

Gordon Model

Current Price = DPS1 / (Ke – g)
DPS 1 = Dividend expected to be paid out next year

Ke = Cost of Equity (using CAPM as discussed in the previous post "Discount Rate in DCF valuation")

g = Growth rate (RoE X Retention ratio) [discussed earlier in "Discount Rate in DCF Valuation"]

While the Gordon growth model is a simple and powerful approach to valuing equity, its use is limited to firms that are growing at a stable rate. There are two insights worth keeping in mind when estimating a 'stable' growth rate. First, since the growth rate in the firm's dividends is expected to last forever, the firm's other measures of performance (including earnings) can also be expected to grow at the same rate.
Growth rate has to be less than or equal to the growth rate of the economy in which the firm operates.
In summary, the Gordon growth model is best suited for firms growing at a rate comparable to or lower than the growth rate in the economy and that have well established dividend payout policies that they intend to continue into the future. The dividend payout of the firm has to be consistent with the assumption of stability, since stable firms generally pay substantial dividends1. In particular, this model will under estimate the value of the stock in firms that consistently pay out less than they can afford and accumulate cash in the process.

ECB vs FCCB

This is in response to the queries I received on whether ECB or FCCB is more convenient/liberal/less regulated. For guidelines on each of them, please refer to the links attached in the respective articles. FCCB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_nov05/703-708.pdf . ECB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_may04/p1216-19.pdf As regards which is more convenient, it always depends on the company raising funds. Historically, companies prefer ECBs over FCCBs . The RBI data for the month of December 2007 showed only 7 of 44 companies raising funds through FCCBs automatic route and all 7 companies preferring the ECB over FCCB through approval route. http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/ECB/pdfs/83662.pdf Government has said that it is contemplating relaxing norms governing external commercial borrowings (ECBs) to enable Indian corporates access higher foreign capital at low cost. Besides, a review is underway to remove restrictions on fo

Reverse Mortgage in India

Imagine a situation where you grow old and have managed to buy a house. However, you could not save enough for your retirement. You certainly need money to manage your day to day finances since you are retired and have no fixed source of income or your income is not enough to meet your finances. Reverse Mortgage is the answer for you. Reverse Mortgage is a type of mortgage available to senior citizens in which a home-owner can borrow money against the value of his/her home. No repayment of the mortgage (principal or interest) is required until the borrower dies or the home is sold. After accounting for the initial mortgage amount, the rate at which interest accrues, the length of the loan and rate of home price appreciation, the transaction is structured so that the loan amount will not exceed the value of the home over the life of the loan.
