Goodwin Technologies is a relatively young company. Goodwin has been widly successful, but it has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst has forecasted that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $3.75 dividend at that time (D3 - $3.75), and believes the dividend will grow by 19.5% for the following two years (D4 and D5). However, after five years, she expects Goodwin's dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.96% per year.
Goodwin has a required rate of return that is 13.2%
