The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. (THG) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $249.73 the price implies 21.8% a year of dividend growth, at a 9.0% cost of equity.

The dividend a share grew 8.0% a year over the last ten years, 6.5% over the last five. The price asks for about three times its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 10.7% over ten years; the price implies 18.9% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 19.0% a year; The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. went on to grow the dividend a share 6.7% a year to FY2025.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · Dividends
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in the dividend. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies the dividend a share growing 21.8% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
