Dividend Discount Model
An estimate of what the price per share of a stock or other security should be, based on the present value of future dividends. This estimate allows investors to determine whether the stock is undervalued or overvalued. If the model says the stock should cost more than it does, investors often buy it. Likewise, if the real cost is higher than the estimate, the investor is likely to sell or refrain from buying.
