Kellogg Co. (K) recently earned a profit of $2.82 earnings per
share and has a P/E ratio of 19.65. The dividend has been growing
at a 6 percent rate over the past few years.
If this growth rate continues, what would be the stock price in
five years if the P/E ratio remained unchanged? What would the
price be if the P/E ratio declined to 14 in five years?
We know that
P/E ratio = Price of a Share / Earnings per Share
Where P/E ratio = 19.65
Recent earnings = $2.82 per share
Therefore Expected price of share = P0
Therefore
19.65 = P0 / $2.82
Or P0 = 19.65* $2.82 = $55.413
If earnings growth rate is 6% per year on the stock
Expected earnings per share after 5 year = Recent earnings * (1+ growth rate) ^years
= $2.82 * (1+6%) ^5 = $3.77 per share
Therefore the stock price in five years if the P/E ratio remained unchanged
P5 = 19.65 *$3.77 = $74.16 per share
The price be if the P/E ratio declined to 14 in five years
P5 = 14 *$3.77 = $52.83 per share
