The two-stage dividend discount model is used to value growth companies that experience two growth phases. In the first stage, the dividend grows at a constant rate for a limited time. In the second phase, the dividend is assumed to grow at a constant rate for the remainder of the company’s life. The dividend discount model uses the principle that money today is more valuable than money tomorrow. So, it takes the expected value of the dividends a firm will generate in the future and calculates its net present value (NPV)
