Weatherspoon estimates a required rate of return for Elvira Corporation of 8% and notes that the dividend for 2022 was €2.315 per share. His first valuation approach is a basic two-stage DDM, with dividends growing at a rate of 5% from 2023 through 2026, after which time dividends will grow at a sustainable rate of 3%. His second valuation approach is the H-model, assuming dividend growth of 5% in 2023 declines linearly during the years 2023 through 2026 to 3.5%, after which time dividends grow at the sustainable rate of 3% growth rate after 2026. Exhibit 1 summarizes Weatherspoon's dividend growth assumptions.
