This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction In today’s finance literature, the main goal of company owners and managers is to maximize the market value of their companies. There are three main decisions that determine the value of companies. These decisions (Akgüç, 2010: 5); • Investment decisions, • Financing decisions, • Dividend policy decisions. When making decisions regarding the company’s investment, financing and dividend distribution, the financial manager must investigate which decision will maximize the company value and implement it. Dividend policy includes decisions about how much of the company’s profit earned at the end of the year will be distributed to shareholders as dividends and how much will not be distributed and left within the company. Investors prefer to invest their savings in stocks that will provide regular and high dividend yields. However, expecting the company to pay high dividends and expecting it to grow are two conflicting goals. A company that distributes high dividends will do less self-financing. The dividend policy determined by company managers should not hinder the growth of the company and should also meet the dividend expectations of the shareholders (Demirel, 2014: 93). Investors will prefer to invest their savings in the stocks of companies that pay stable dividends. If companies pay dividends consistently, investors will perceive the company as being in good shape. This study aims to determine whether companies announcing to the public that they will pay dividends will cause abnormal returns in the stocks of the relevant companies. In other words, the impact of companies’ decision to distribute dividends on the value of the relevant companies was investigated. According to the efficient markets hypothesis, in semi-strong form efficient markets, firms cannot obtain abnormal returns on their stocks with any information they disclose to the public. With this study, it will be determined how the company value is affected when companies’ dividend distribution decisions are announced to the public. Moreover, it will be revealed to what extent the capital market in Turkey is effective in semi-strong form.

Book Investor Tax Rationality and the Relationship between Dividend Yields and Equity Returns

Download or read book Investor Tax Rationality and the Relationship between Dividend Yields and Equity Returns written by Michael J. Dempsey and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morgan and Thomas (1998) contend that the empirically observed relationship between UK stock returns and dividend yields (subject to an imputation tax system) cannot be reconciled with tax rationality. In response, this present note re-examines the theoretical basis for this conclusion. We conclude that the empirical evidence of market behavior may at present be interpreted generally as consistent with investor tax-based rationality.

Book Dividend Yields and Stock Returns

Download or read book Dividend Yields and Stock Returns written by Michael L. Lemmon and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The positive relation between dividend yields and stock returns in the US market is well documented in recent research. However, the cause(s) of the dividend yield effect is still unknown. On the one hand, the effect can be attributed to tax as predicted in the Brennan CAPM (Brennan (1970)). On the other hand, dividend yield can proxy for omitted risk factors or variables. We document a robust dividend yield effect in the Hong Kong market where neither dividend income nor capital gains are taxed. The effect is persistent in different sub-samples by time period or by market capitalization. The yield effect is economically significant. A one percent difference in dividend yields is associated with about a two percent difference in risk-adjusted returns. While not ruling out the tax explanation, our results show there are non-tax (unknown) factors that cause the dividend yield effect.

Book A New Analysis of the Effect of Dividend Tax Policy on the Relationship Between Dividend and Treasury Yields

Download or read book A New Analysis of the Effect of Dividend Tax Policy on the Relationship Between Dividend and Treasury Yields written by Mingjun Zhou and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the relationship between relationship between U.S. Treasury bill yields and the dividend yield of the S&P 500 in the period before and after the passage of the Jobs Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (JGTRRA) in 2003. The results suggest that there is an upward pressure on the Treasury yields when capital gains are tax-favored over dividends. An increase in the portion of stock returns attributable to capital gains makes an equity portfolio more tax-efficient, placing upward pressure on competing Treasury bill yields. Our results are robust to a battery of additional tests, including the level of stock prices. These analyses provide new insights into the complex relationship between investment returns and tax rates on interest, dividends and capital gains, and suggest a public policy favoring dividend tax cuts may have the inadvertent effect of increasing the cost of debt.

Book Corporate Payout Policy

Download or read book Corporate Payout Policy written by Harry DeAngelo and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Payout Policy synthesizes the academic research on payout policy and explains "how much, when, and how". That is (i) the overall value of payouts over the life of the enterprise, (ii) the time profile of a firm's payouts across periods, and (iii) the form of those payouts. The authors conclude that today's theory does a good job of explaining the general features of corporate payout policies, but some important gaps remain. So while our emphasis is to clarify "what we know" about payout policy, the authors also identify a number of interesting unresolved questions for future research. Corporate Payout Policy discusses potential influences on corporate payout policy including managerial use of payouts to signal future earnings to outside investors, individuals' behavioral biases that lead to sentiment-based demands for distributions, the desire of large block stockholders to maintain corporate control, and personal tax incentives to defer payouts. The authors highlight four important "carry-away" points: the literature's focus on whether repurchases will (or should) drive out dividends is misplaced because it implicitly assumes that a single payout vehicle is optimal; extant empirical evidence is strongly incompatible with the notion that the primary purpose of dividends is to signal managers' views of future earnings to outside investors; over-confidence on the part of managers is potentially a first-order determinant of payout policy because it induces them to over-retain resources to invest in dubious projects and so behavioral biases may, in fact, turn out to be more important than agency costs in explaining why investors pressure firms to accelerate payouts; the influence of controlling stockholders on payout policy --- particularly in non-U.S. firms, where controlling stockholders are common --- is a promising area for future research. Corporate Payout Policy is required reading for both researchers and practitioners interested in understanding this central topic in corporate finance and governance.

Book Equity Share Price Determinants

Book excerpt: This book describes a study that demonstrates a new approach to support the investors while investing in stock markets. A number of empirical research works have been conducted in the area of equity share price determinants. There are many factors, which influence the market prices of the stocks of the companies. As the economic environment of each country differs, the influence and approach of factors thereby differs. The market price of the share is the most important and crucial variable in stock market. The main objective of the study is to measure the relationship between stock prices and company specific intrinsic factors, such as, dividend per share, earnings per share, book value, and size in terms of sales, dividend yield, dividend payout, return on net worth and price to earnings ratio. The other objectives covered in the book are: (1) To examine the empirical relationship between equity share prices and explanatory variables, such as book value per share, return on net worth, size in terms of sales, etc., (2) To analyze the relationship between the equity share price and variables, such as earnings per share, price-earnings ratio, dividend yield, dividend per share, dividend payout during the period of study, (3) To evaluate the impact of select non-financial variables on the market price of the share and earnings per share of the select industrial companies, and (4) To suggest the measures for the efficient decision making of the prospective investors while selecting stocks so as to get better returns on their investments. Annual reports data from BSE and SEBI is used covering a period of 10 years from 2003-04 to 2012-2013 to understand the market trend. For an empirical analysis, both financial and statistical techniques are employed and to get the precision of the results, the SPSS software packages are used. The results are verified by applying t-test & F-test in appropriate cases.

Book Studies in State and Local Public Finance

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.
