Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
In discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation techniques the value of the stock is estimated based upon present value of some measure of cash flow. Dividends are the cleanest and most straightforward measure of cash flow because these are clearly cash flows that go directly to the investor.

Required Rate of Return (r)

| Rate of return on LT Treasury Composite1 | RF | 4.65% |
| Expected rate of return on market portfolio2 | E(RM) | 13.79% |
| Systematic risk of T-Mobile US Inc. common stock | βTMUS | 0.50 |
| Required rate of return on T-Mobile US Inc. common stock3 | rTMUS | 9.19% |
1 Unweighted average of bid yields on all outstanding fixed-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds neither due or callable in less than 10 years (risk-free rate of return proxy).
3 rTMUS = RF + βTMUS [E(RM) – RF]
= 4.65% + 0.50 [13.79% – 4.65%]
= 9.19%

2023 Calculations
1 Retention rate = (Net income – Dividends declared) ÷ Net income
= (8,317 – 747) ÷ 8,317
= 0.91
2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income ÷ Revenues
= 100 × 8,317 ÷ 78,558
= 10.59%
3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 78,558 ÷ 207,682
= 0.38
4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 207,682 ÷ 64,715
= 3.21
5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.98 × 5.96% × 0.40 × 3.06
= 7.18%
Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model
g = 100 × (P0 × r – D0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($233.20 × 9.19% – $0.65) ÷ ($233.20 + $0.65)
= 8.88%
where:
P0 = current price of share of T-Mobile US Inc. common stock
D0 = the last year dividends per share of T-Mobile US Inc. common stock
r = required rate of return on T-Mobile US Inc. common stock
Dividend growth rate (g) forecast
T-Mobile US Inc., H-model
| Year | Value | gt |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | g1 | 7.18% |
| 2 | g2 | 7.60% |
| 3 | g3 | 8.03% |
| 4 | g4 | 8.46% |
| 5 and thereafter | g5 | 8.88% |
where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by Gordon growth model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5
Calculations
g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.18% + (8.88% – 7.18%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.60%
g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.18% + (8.88% – 7.18%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 8.03%
g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 7.18% + (8.88% – 7.18%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 8.46%
