    The constant growth model can be used here even if the dividends are decreasing by a persistent percentage, just make sure to distinguish the negative development. So, the computation for the price of the stock today will be:

    P = dividend (1 + reduce payout) / (Return-reduce payout)

    P = $12.30 (1 - 0.05) / [ (0.09 - (-0.05) ]

    P = $11.69 / 0.14

    P = $83.46 is the price you will pay for a share today.
