In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five years or so, then find the "terminal" stock price using a benchmark PE ratio. Suppose a company just paid a dividend of $1.32. The dividends are expected to grow at 17 percent over the next five years. The company has a payout ratio of 35 percent and a benchmark PE of 20.
