WES 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 WES, the DDM model, as implemented by StockNews, implies a positive return of 23.27% relative to its current price. Some interesting points we thought investors may wish to consider regarding the dividend discount model forecast for Western Midstream Partners LP are:

• WES's market cap is about 5 billion US dollars -- its dividend yield of 9.48 is greater than 97.94% of its fellow stocks in the large market cap class.
• Beta tells us how volatile a stock's price is relative to the broader equity index; as for WES, approximately merely 0.36% of US-listed dividend issuers had a higher beta, and thus may have greater price volatility.
