Let's do some low ball valuation for a few blue chips, most of them beaten until blue-black.
I'm using a dividend discounted (DDM) model, with the assumptions:
1. Zero growth rate for dividend
2. Rate of return required = 5% (twice as much as CPF's OA account)
3. Dividends given till perpetuity
4. No special dividends included, unless they occur every year. I'll guesstimate in that case.
5. I'm using a geometric progression, specifically the sum to infinity with first term as the dividend at year 0 and the geometric ratio as the ratio between the 1st yr and the 0th year. The formula is:
Sum to infinity = First term / (1 - geometric ratio)
Here's an example of a company, ACME, that pays 100 cts dividends every year.
The sum is 100/(1-(95.238/100)) = $21.
Alright? Let's go:
1. ST Engineering
Dividends per share: 14 cts
Sum = ......
