Dividend Growth, Cash Flow and Discount Rate News
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a new variable based on a model of dividend smoothing, we find dividend growth is highly predictable and cash flow news contributes importantly to return variability. Cash flow betas derived from this predictability are central to explaining the size effect in the cross section of returns. However, they do not explain the value effect; this is explained by noise betas. We also find that the relative importance of cash flow news in explaining recent stock price run-ups and subsequent falls increases when cash flow news is estimated directly.

Although the classical dividend discount model (DDM) is a wellknown and widely used model in evaluating the intrinsic price of common stock, the practical pattern of dividends, required rate of return or growth rate of dividend do not generally coincide with any of the model’s assumptions. It is just the opportunity to develop a fuzzy logic system that takes these vague parameters into account....
متن کاملThe Time Series of the Cross Section of Asset Prices∗
Within a general equilibrium model with habit persistence preferences and time varying expected dividend growth, we obtain a number of novel predictions about the time series of the cross section of asset prices. We show that assets of longer duration, i.e. that pay far in the future, are typically riskier than those of shorter duration. However, those assets that are characterized by a substan...
