Document Summary
Stock is: a certificate of ownership in a corporation, a claim of the value of the firm. Stockholder may or may not receive dividend each quarter. Dividend can be affected by many factors, such as: amount of cash that"s available for the firm, debt contracts payments, limitation by government and regulations. As investors of the stock, you may receive cash in two ways: the company of the stock pays dividend, selling the share and the share worth more than the time you bought it. The price of the stock reflects present value of all future cash flows. Stock cash flow vs bond cash flow: stock cash flow is not guaranteed, stock cash flow is not constant, stock cash flow never stops (unless the company stop paying dividend) Where r is the discount rate g is the growth rate. This formula applies only when dividend growing at a fixed rate.
