In this analysis, we quantify the percentage of Ralph Lauren’s (NYSE:RL) stock that can be attributed to growth.

We know that a stock’s valuation can be highly influenced by expectations of future earnings growth. However, in theory, if a company sees no growth opportunities it should distribute all its earnings as dividends to its shareholders. The only capital expenditure required in such a case will be equal to the amount required to replace or maintain existing assets.

Mathematically, (capital expenditure + change in net working capital + change in net operating assets) = (depreciation and amortization).

We assume that this amount of capital expenditure will be sufficient for the company to retain its market share and keep margins constant. In this case, if the company pays all earnings as dividends for the rest of the period, we can calculate the Present Value of Growth Opportunity (PVGO) of a stock from the formula given below:

PVGO = Current Stock Price – (Forecasted Earnings For The Next Period ÷ Cost Of Equity)
