Abstract

The dividend discount model (DDM) is regularly used for stock evaluations. However, in the existing literature the solution of this model exists only for a couple of different growth rates. The current paper provides a general solution for the DDM to compute the intrinsic value of a common stock that allows for multiple stage growth rates of any predetermined number of periods. A mathematical proof is provided for the suggested general solution. A numerical application is also presented. The solution introduced in this paper is expected to improve on the precision of stock valuation, which might be of fundamental importance for the individual investor as well as for financial institutions.
