Abstract:     
This note focuses on the dividend discount model (DDM), or Gordon Growth Model, as it is sometimes called. In practice, the DDM appears in many forms. The note examines its role in estimating the intrinsic value of an equity security and as a model for estimating the required return on equity. The note also explores the DDM's link to price-earnings ratios, a widely followed market multiple, and the sustainable rate of growth.
