Although the model's simplicity can be regarded as one of its major strengths, in another sense this is its major drawback, as the purely quantitative model takes no account of qualitative factors such as industry trends or management strategy. For example, even in a highly cash-generative company, near-future dividend payouts could be capped by management's strategy of retaining cash to fund a likely future investment. The simplicity of the model affords no flexibility to take into account projected changes in the rate of future dividend growth. The calculation relies on the assumption that future dividends will grow at a constant rate in perpetuity, taking no account of the possibility that rapid near-term growth could be offset by slower growth further into the future. This limitation makes the Gordon growth model less suitable for use in rapidly growing industries with less predictable dividend patterns, such as software or mobile telecommunications. Its use is typically more appropriate in relatively mature industries or stock-market indices where companies demonstrate more stable and predictable dividend growth patterns.
Normal, or constant, growth occurs when a firm's earnings and dividends grow at some constant rate forever. One category of non-constant growth stock is a "supernormal" growth stock which has one or more years of growth above that of the economy as a whole, but at some point the growth rate will fall to the "normal" rate. This occurs, generally, as part of a firm's normal life cycle. A zero growth stock has constant earnings and dividends; thus, the expected dividend payment is fixed, just as a bond's coupon payment. Since the company is presumed to continue operations indefinitely, the dividend stream is perpetuity. Perpetuity is a security on which the principal never has to be repaid.
The Constant growth model does not address risk; it uses the current market price, as the reflection of the expected risk return preference of investor in marketplace, whereas CAPM consider the firm's risk, as reflected by beta, in determining required return or cost of ordinary share equity.Another difference is that when constant growth model is used to find the cost of ordinary share equity, it can easily be adjusted with flotation cost to find the cost of new ordinary share capital. whereas CAPM does not provide simple adjustment.Although CAPM Model has strong theoretical foundation, the ease of the calculation of the constant growth model justifies it use.

Exponential growth :)
The constant growth valuation model assumes that a stock's dividend is going to grow at a constant rate. Stocks that can be used for this model are established companies that tend to model growth parallel to the economy.
The dividend discount model of valuation is one strategy for investing in financial markets. The growth rate of this valuation determines whether investment is profitable.
This question was originally listed as an answer option. The question was "Which of the following statements is most correct." This was the most correct of the following choices.The constant growth model takes into consideration the capital gains earned on a stock.It is appropriate to use the constant growth model to estimate stock value even if the growth rate never becomes constant.Two firms with the same dividend and growth rate must also have the same stock price.Statements 1 and 3 are correctAll of the statements above are correct.Answer 1 was the most correct of the choices.

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs 11%, and the expected constant growth rate is 5%. What is the current stock price?
In the exponential model of population growth, the growth rate remains constant over time. This means that the population increases by a fixed percentage during each time interval, leading to accelerating growth over time.
Yes. For example a company with a 10p dividend that stays constant but whose net profit increases must be spending that net profit on assets or growth or other 'good' things that should increase the value of the company - otherwise they would pay it out and increase the divi!
False it is not constant
A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.75 at the end of the year. The required rate of return is rs = 10.5%, and the expected constant growth rate is g = 6.4%. What is the stock's current price?
