Gordon’s Model


Gordon proposed a model of stock valuation using the dividend capitalization approach. His model is based on the following assumptions:

1. All-equity firm: The firm is an all-equity firm, and it has no debt

2. No external financing: Retained earnings would be used to finance any expansion.

3. Constant return: The internal rate of return, r, of the firm’s investment is constant.

4. Constant cost of capital: The appropriate discount rate k for the firm remains       
constant and is greater than the growth rate.

5. No taxes: Corporate taxes do not exist.
