Simple! Price = dividend/ yield. Yield = required rate of return Dividend = dividend rate x par value Convert all percentages to numbers and make sure you get the statistics from reliable sources.

Preferred Stock has both debt and common stock components. You can get dividends for it like common stock but the dividends are fixed. So it is predictable and can be calculatable. You need the par value, the preferred dividend rate, calculate the preferred dividend, get the yield.

Just to add on. Par value is the claim of the preferred stockholder against the value of the firm.  add a comment

The preferred stock price is mathematically derived by dividing the the preferred dividend by the required return on the stock. The formula is Pp=Dp/r.

I assume that Pp is Preferred Stock Price, Dp is preferred Dividend and r is Required Return.  add a comment
