Today the stock should sell for $59.16

Explanation:

The three stage growth model of Dividend discount model approach will be used to calculate the price of this stock today. The DDM bases the value of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends that the stock will pay. The price per share today of this stock under the DDM model will be,

P0 = 2 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.105) + 2 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.12) / (1+0.105) ^2 +

2 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.12) ^2 / (1+0.105) ^3 +

[ (2 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.12) ^2 * (1+0.06) / (0.105-0.06)) / (1+0.105) ^3 ]

P0 = $59.16
