FINANCIAL & TAX CALCULATORS
Intrinsic Value Calculator
Estimate the intrinsic value of a stock using earnings, growth, and discount rates.
What is the Intrinsic Value Calculator & How does it work?
The Intrinsic Value Calculator helps investors determine the true worth of a stock by considering its earnings, expected growth rate, and a discount rate. This method is rooted in fundamental analysis, aiming to provide a more accurate valuation than market price alone.
To calculate intrinsic value, we use the Gordon Growth Model (also known as the Dividend Discount Model for perpetuity), which assumes that the stock will pay dividends indefinitely and grow at a constant rate. The formula is:This model is particularly useful for stocks that pay consistent dividends and are expected to grow at a steady pace. However, it’s important to note that the accuracy of this calculation heavily depends on the assumptions made about future earnings and growth rates.
To calculate intrinsic value, we use the Gordon Growth Model (also known as the Dividend Discount Model for perpetuity), which assumes that the stock will pay dividends indefinitely and grow at a constant rate. The formula is:
P = frac{D_1}{r – g}
P = Intrinsic Value
D1 = Expected dividend in the next period
r = Required rate of return (discount rate)
g = Growth rate of dividends
D1 = Expected dividend in the next period
r = Required rate of return (discount rate)
g = Growth rate of dividends

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gordon Growth Model?
The Gordon Growth Model is a formula used to determine the intrinsic value of a stock based on its expected dividends, growth rate, and required rate of return.
How do I use this calculator?
Enter the current dividend per share, the expected growth rate, and the discount rate. The calculator will compute the intrinsic value of the stock.
What does intrinsic value mean?
Intrinsic value is the actual worth of a stock based on its fundamentals, which may differ from its market price.
Why is the Gordon Growth Model important?
It helps investors make informed decisions by providing a valuation method that considers future earnings potential and risk.
Can I use this for any stock?
Yes, but it assumes the stock pays dividends indefinitely and grows at a constant rate, which may not be true for all stocks.
What if the growth rate is negative?
A negative growth rate can still be used in the formula. It will result in a lower intrinsic value, reflecting the declining dividend expectations.
How does the discount rate affect the calculation?
The discount rate represents the required return on investment. A higher discount rate results in a lower intrinsic value, as it increases the present value of future dividends.
