Download or read book Growth Expectations Dividend Yields and Future Stock Returns written by Zhi Da and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the dynamic version of the Gordon growth model, the long-run expected return on stocks, stock yield, is the sum of the dividend yield on stocks plus some weighted average of expected future growth rates in dividends. We construct a measure of stock yield based on sell-side analysts' near-term earnings forecasts that predicts US stock index returns well, with an out-of-sample R-squared that is consistently above 2% at monthly frequency over our sample period. Stock yield also predicts future stock index returns in the US and other G7 countries and returns of US stock portfolios formed by sorting stocks based on firm characteristics, at various horizons. The findings are consistent with a single dominant factor driving expected returns on stocks over different holding periods. That single factor extracted from the cross section of stock yields using the Kelly and Pruitt (2013) partial regressions method predicts stock index returns better. The performance of the Binsbergen and Koijen (2010) latent factor model for forecasting stock returns improves significantly when stock yield is included as an imperfect observation of expected return on stocks. Consistent with folk wisdom, stock returns are more predictable coming out of a recession. Our measure performs as well in predicting stock returns as the implied cost of capital, another common stock yield measure that uses additional information.

Download or read book Relative Dividend Yield written by Anthony E. Spare and published by . This book was released on 1992-02-27 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every corporate manager knows earnings can be inaccurate and unreliable as a statement of company well-being. And every investor knows that quarterly earnings are volatile and unpredictable. Yet most investment strategies are based on earnings and P/E multiples. Thankfully there is a market-tested alternative with steadily growing billions behind it that you can put your trust in. The Relative Dividend Yield (RDY) buy-sell discipline set out in this volume enables you to base you or your institution's investment decisions on the much more stable and reliable principle of historic relative yields. For over 15 years, this approach has outperformed the market with less than market risk. Moreover, you'll find that RDY helps you... Analyze stocks so that you can buy only the ones that are at the upper end of their historical yield range, and sell those at the lower end. Lower turnover and save on transaction costs through RDY's more conservative, stable investment approach. Manage the largest portfolios with confidence because RDY works best with large, long-established companies where sound management and liquidity are assured. Avoid anxiety about market fluctuations because RDY's buy-sell mechanism doesn't have a short-term trading orientation. Steel yourself against the emotionalism that makes investors panic and sell at bottoms...and get swept up by euphoria and buy at tops. The best-kept secret in investing today, RDY is an intelligent, unique, and proven formula for superior returns with less risk.

Download or read book A Robust Estimation of the Relation between Stock Returns Size Dividend Yield and Payout Ratio written by Ian D. McManus and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the relationship between Returns and Dividends in the context of the UK Stock Market, using data from the LBS London Share Price Database (LSPD) and using robust estimation (GMM). We also introduce earnings-related data into our analysis, using Payout Ratio as a carrier of this additional information. We find that the introduction of the additional variable has a considerable effect upon the inferences which would otherwise have been drawn from a study of Dividend Yield in the absence of such earnings information.Our methodology allows for the establishment of a distinct category for Zero-Dividend stocks (as distinct from those stocks which are merely low-yielding). This allows us to examine in more detail the particular returns characteristics of this class of stocks, which has more in common (in terms of Returns performance) with the high-yielding, rather than the low-yielding subdivision of dividend-paying stocks.Because of the implicit relationship (in terms of a joint distribution) between the dividend payment characteristics of firms and their size, we use an improved measure of Market Capitalisation (relative to that posted explicitly in the LSPD) in order to convey size information into our regressions. This allows for improved resolution, both in terms of the magnitude of the firm size variable, and also of its sampling frequency. Our analysis also accounts for the more complex seasonal behaviour apparent in UK returns characteristics.Our study proceeds from an initial survey of 'raw' (non risk-adjusted) returns for our system of 30 portfolios (6 Dividend Yield subdivisions x 5 Size subdivisions), followed by the introduction of risk adjustment on both an individual (portfolio) and category (Dividend Yields; Market Capitalisations) basis. This leads to a more complete model specification which allows for both categorical and interaction variables in order to separate and identify the various influences at play in determining returns behaviour.We conclude that the inclusion of Payout Ratio is an important adjunct to Dividend Yield in explaining Returns; indeed, our subperiod analysis revealed that, in many instances, the former seems to dominate the latter. Because of this, we deduce that Payout Ratio may convey additional signalling information, over and above that of Dividend Yield alone, for investors.

Book excerpt: Dividend Policy provides a comprehensive study of dividend policy.

Here the authors review models of symmetric and asymmetric information before analyzing academia's accomplishments in solving the dividend puzzle. Related subjects, such as valuation and wealth distribution, round out the authors' presentation about new ways to think about one of the most intriguing subjects in financial economics. The book is recommended for professors and students in departments of finance and business, corporate finance staff, and financial regulators. The only comprehensive study of dividend policy Covers the historical evolution of dividends and academic research on dividend policy Presents new ways of thinking about dividends and dividend policy

Download or read book Studies in State and Local Public Finance written by Harvey S. Rosen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fiscal year 1981-82, state and local government spending actually exceeded federal nondefense spending. However, past research in public finance has focused on federal spending and policies and paid little attention to the economic problems of state and local governments. Studies in State and Local Public Finance goes far in correcting this omission. Developed from a National Bureau of Economic Research conference on state and local financing, the volume includes papers summarizing and extending recent research as well as commentaries. Covering a wide range of topics, the papers share an empirical orientation and a concern with policy issues. The first two papers look at the role of tax-exempt bonds in local public finance. Their findings suggest that tax policies significantly affect municipal borrowing practices and that financial advantage can be achieved under certain of these practices. Other papers address specific issues related to state and local tax policy: the impact of local taxes on location decisions; efficient road-use charges for trucks; and the relation of income and general sales tax systems over time. Examining issues related to United States federalism, the last paper focuses on the impact of federal grant aid to states. The research and findings these papers report make an important contribution to the study of local public finance and should be of particular interest to policymakers and those involved in private and public financing at the local, state, or federal level.
