Mature companies with relatively predictable earnings

Explanation:

Constant growth model is under the assumption that a company's dividend will grow at a constant rate indefinitely (forever). This makes more sense and hold is appropriate method of valuation for a mature company that has relatively predictable earnings. Young companies on the other hand have fluctuating earnings making it appropriate to use non-constant growth model to value its dividends.
