FRME Price Forecast Based on Dividend Discount Model

For dividend yielding stocks, the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) is a common valuation tool; it attempts to extrapolate a fair share price based primarily on the dividend the stock provides relative to a number of other quantiative aspects of its business. In the case of FRME, the DDM model, as implemented by StockNews, implies a negative return of 20.72% relative to its current price. To help understand and contextualize the model's evaluation of FRME, investors may wish to consider are:

• Compared to other dividend issuers in the mid-sized market cap category, FRME's beta -- a measure of volatility relative to the market at large -- is lower than 67.57% of them.
• Based on dividend growth rate, FRME boasts a higher growth rate in terms of its annual cash distributed to its owners than 82.3% of the dividend issuers in our set.
