Equity value under the assumption of constant growth (which necessarily incorporates an assumption of a constant REINVESTMENT RATE and a constant expected return on reinvested earnings): n
Equity value per share is the present value of expected future dividends. Typical process is to estimate expected dividends for an explicit forecast period of, say, 3 – 10 years before making some assumption about dividends thereafter. The present value of these dividends thereafter is referred to as the terminal value (the value which you would expect to sell the shares for at the end of the explicit forecast period). The most common assumption is that dividends continue at a constant growth rate thereafter. But you do not necessarily have to assume constant growth.
