Dividend Discount Model (DDM)

The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is a stock valuation method that estimates intrinsic value as the present value of all future dividends. It is most appropriate for mature, dividend-paying companies with stable and predictable payout histories.

公式

示例

A utility paying $3.00 in annual dividends, with a 9% required return and 3% dividend growth rate, has a DDM intrinsic value of $3.00 / (0.09 − 0.03) = $50. This stock valuation method only works reliably for stable dividend payers.

为什么重要

DDM provides a disciplined stock valuation framework for income-focused investors. Understanding DDM also helps you appreciate why DCF is preferred for growth companies — DDM simply cannot value businesses that reinvest most earnings rather than distributing them.
