The expected return from the company based on the discounted dividend model is ##. The industry's revenue growth is contingent on rising demand from households, businesses and operators in other industries. According to the Electricity Profile of Australia (2014), “Australia's electricity retailing market suffered from decline in terms of volume consumption during the 2010-2014
period, despite this it still recorded strong value growth due to rising electricity prices. Furthermore, forecasts suggest volume consumption will return to low growth, while the value will decelerate due to lower price growth forecasts, for the 2014-2019 period.” Based on the lower growth forecast the expected return is a bit ambitious for the industry they are in, especially with the presence of much larger companies. Hence, barrier to market entry. Consequently, the demand for low electricity prices will drive the company’s profit down. Also, Australian Government often interferes with most likely every companies’ operations which hinders companies’ efficiency. #DEAKIN LIB!
