Method 4 – Dividends Model
Dividend ( Div ) equals the earnings times the dividend payout ratio ( PO ); therefore, the growth rate of earnings can be calculated by the difference between the growth rate of dividend and the growth rate of the payout ratio. 6 Stock Market Returns in the Long Run
We substitute dividend growth and payout ratio growth for the earnings growth in equation 8. The equity’s total return in period t can be broken into five components: 1) inflation; 2) the growth rate of the price earnings ratio; 3) the growth rate of the dollar amount of dividend after inflation; 4) the growth rate of the payout ratio; and 5) the dividend yield.
Figure 3 shows the annual income return (dividend yield) of U.S. equity from 1926 to 2000. The dividend yield dropped from 5.15% at the beginning of 1926 to only 1.10% at the end of 2000. Figure 4 shows the year-end dividend payout ratio from 1926 to 2000. On average, the dollar amount of dividends grew 1.23% after inflation per year, while the dividend payout ratio decreased 0.51% per year. The dividend payout ratio was 46.68% at the beginning of 1926. It decreases to 31.78% at the end of 2000. The highest dividend payout ratio (929.12%) was recorded in 1932, while the lowest was recorded in 2000. The U.S. equity returns from 1926 and 2000 can be computed according to
Method 5 – Return on Book Equity Model
7 Stock Market Returns in the Long Run We can also break the earnings into book value of equity (BV) and return on equity (ROE).
The growth rate of earnings can be calculated by the combined growth rate of BV and ROE.
We substitute BV growth and ROE growth for the earnings growth in the equity return decomposition. The equity’s total return in period t can be computed by,
We estimate that the average growth rate of the book value after inflation is 1.46% from 1926 to 2000.9
The average ROE growth per year is calculated to be 0.31% during the same time period.
