1st- I use div of 1 x (1.06)^2=1.1236/ (.09)= 12.48 2nd-Again( I use 1.07)^2/ (.06)=19.08 Since $1 is last yr, should you grow it twice to get next yr’s dividend?

I don’t think it’s accounted for in that manner. To me the “last year” reads the same as just paid. Just grow the dividends/earnings for one period. C B

I used to think you have to grow the div twice if its says dividend was paid last year. Are there any instances wher eyou will have to grow it twice to next yr’s dividend if the last dividend paid was last year?
