To determine the rates of return earned, the preference shareholders use following three
yields:
1. Current Yield: When preference share does not have a maturity date, the investor
use the current yield measure the return available from dividends. They merely
divide the annual dividend payment by the current market price to calculate yield:
E.g. A 9% preference share of XYZ Company are sold for Rs. 72. Calculate Current
yield
HPR =
Dt +(P t+1 −P t )
Pt
3. Yield to call
YTC =
C p−P i
Dt +

(P ¿ ¿ i+C p )

E.g. A 9% (Rs. 100 par) will be called in 3 years at Rs. 108. The current market price
of this issue is Rs. 72.
(Ans: 43.13%)
4. Valuing Irredeemable Preference Share
P0 = P (DIV) /Kp
A model for determining the intrinsic value of a stock, based on a future series of
dividends that grow at a constant rate. Given a dividend per share that is payable in one
year, and the assumption that the dividend grows at a constant rate in perpetuity, the
model solves for the present value of the infinite series of future dividends.
Do ( 1+ g ) D 1
Po= = Where :D 1 = Expected dividend per share one year from now
r −g r−g
r = Required rate of return for equity investor
g = Growth rate in dividends (in perpetuity)
The constant growth rate model is extended to two stage growth model. Here the growth
stages are divided into two, namely a period of extraordinary growth (or decline) and a
constant growth period of infinite nature.
