TRMK 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 TRMK, the DDM model generated by StockNews estimates a return of positive 54.61% in comparison to its current price. Digging deeper, the aspects of Trustmark Corp's dividend discount model that we found most interesting were:
