Applying equation (1) to equities leads to  \begin{equation}  P_{t}=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{K}\frac{D_{t+i}}{(1+R)^i}+P_{t+K} P_{t}=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{K}\frac{D_{t+i}}{(1+R)^i}+\frac{P_{t+K}}{(1+R)^K}  \end{equation}  where $P_{t}$ is the stocks price at $t$, $D_{t+i}$ the future dividend at $t+i$, $R$ the discount rate and  $P_{t+K}$ the terminal value. Again, $R$ is necessarely the average total return of the shareholder over one period if he pays $P_{t}$, receive $D_{t+1}$,$D_{t+2}$, . . . $D_{t+K}$ and sells the stock at $P_{t+K}$. It is worth mentioning that the dividends are always reinvested and that the total shareholder return is going to be $(1+R)^K-1$ over $K$ periods.
