Assumptions in the model:
1. The firm is in steady state and will grow at a stable rate forever.
2. The firm does not pay out what it can afford to in dividends, i.e., Dividends ≠ FCFE.

- Especially use when free cashflows to equity are different from dividends paid.
- Best suited for firms in stable leverage and growing at the same rate as the economy.
