7. Shares and dividends
Basically it doesn't matter in which order you enter
the figures to an empty model. However, we have concluded
that the order represented here (historical values, shares,
estimates) has some advantages.
For example you can set the share information anytime
you like, but if you do it in this phase, it may ease
you in estimating payout ratio. Also at the moment you
may still have the historical information close to you
but while making estimates, it may not be there anymore.
