Generation

The dividend discount model (DDM) values a stock by calculating the present value of all future dividends it's expected to pay. The basic idea is that a stock is worth the sum of its future cash payments to shareholders, discounted back to today using a required rate of return. The simplest version, the Gordon Growth Model, assumes dividends grow at a constant rate forever and gives us the formula: Stock Price = D₁/(r - g), where D₁ is next year's dividend, r is the required return, and g is the growth rate. This model works best for mature, dividend-paying companies with stable growth patterns.
