Generation

# Dividend Discount Model **Formula:** P₀ = D₁/(r - g) Where: - P₀ = current stock price - D₁ = expected dividend next period - r = required rate of return - g = constant dividend growth rate ## Why It Matters The DDM matters because it provides a fundamental valuation framework linking a stock's intrinsic value directly to the cash flows investors actually receive. It reveals that stock prices depend critically on just three factors: expected dividends, growth rates, and discount rates—making it invaluable for understanding market behavior and assessing whether stocks are overvalued or undervalued.
