EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:   

  This   paper   investigates   the   stock   market   reaction   associated   with 

dividends   announcements   in   the   Indian   stock   market,   and   to   verify 

 whether  these   announcements   possess   any   informational   value.   An   event 

 study  was conducted  on  34  companies,  comprising  the  CNX  Nifty  Index.    

  Returns  were  computed  using  the  adjusted  price  data  of  companies 

and the  Nifty  Index  with  the  help  of  ”Capital  Line  Plus”.  The  event  day  is 

 the  day   when   the   quarterly   announcement   is   made.    The  event  day  was 

taken  from  “Prowess”  (the  events  section).    The   Abnormal   Returns   (AR), 

 Average  Abnormal  Returns   (AAR),   and   Cumulative   Average   Abnormal 

 Returns   (CAAR)   were  computed   based   on   the   Single   Index   Model.   The 

 behavior  of  these  variables  was  examined  for  30  days  before  and  after  the 

 event  day.   

  The   sample   study   found   significant   Abnormal   Return   (AR)   in   and 

around   the   days   of   announcement.   It   has   been   observed   that   the 

 Cumulative  Average   Abnormal   Returns   (CAAR)   also   has   significance   in 

 and   around   the  event   day.   Thus,   the   results   of   the   study   indicate   that 

 dividends    announcements   contain   important   information   which   causes 

 stock  prices  to change.   

  Further,   in   an   efficient   market,   CAAR   should   flatten   out   after   the 

event‐day  to  indicate  that  the  market  has  absorbed  the  results  quickly. But 

this  was  not  the  case.   Hence   strengthens   the   belief   that   the   Indian   stock 

market  is not  efficient  but  semi‐strong.

INTRODUCTION:   

  In   a   market   that   is   essentially   characterized   by   a   large   number   of 

rational  and  profit‐seeking  investors  who  compete  with  one  another  freely, 

the   prices   should   reflect   all   the   available   and   expected   information.   An 

efficient   market   is   one   that   rapidly   absorbs   new   information   and   adjusts 

the  prices   swiftly.   Researchers  and  analysts  who  have  worked  onis  the 

efficiency  of  stock  market  have  realized  that  no  stock  market  is  absolutely 

efficient.   

   

  Researchers   in   this   area   have   classified   the   stock   market   efficiency 

into   three   separate   forms   —   weak,   semi-strong,   and   strong.   Fuller   and 

Farell  (1987)  have  attempted  to  divide  the  strong  form  of  market efficiency 

into   two   distinct   parts:   The   super-strong   form   and   near-strong form.   The 

three  forms  of  market  efficiency  have  been  a  subject  of  intense research in 

the  field  of  finance.   While   there   have   been   an   overwhelming  number   of 

studies  to  test  the  weak  form  of  EMH,  studies  to  test  the strong  form  are 

not   many.   Because   of   problems   in   getting   the   relevant  data   to   test   the 

strong  form  of  EMH,  studies  in  this  area  are  limited. Semi-strong form has 

also  been  tested  but  not  as  extensively  as  the  weak form.  A  majority of the 

studies  have  affirmed  that  stock  markets  are efficient  in  the  weak form. 

Studies on the semi‐strong form have yield mixed results.  The semi‐strong form 

of  EMH  has  been  extensively  researched  in  the  US,  the  UK,  other  European 

countries, and Australia.  However, there are limited studies in India.    

   

A   number   of   studies   have   confirmed   that   markets   are   efficient   in   the 

semi‐strong  form.  However,  a  large  number  of  studies  have  also  concluded 

that   markets   are  not   efficient   in   the   semi‐strong   form.   In   their   seminal 

 
M.P.BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT   12
      “DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT, SECURITY PERFORMANCE, AND CAPITAL MARKET EFFICIENCY” 

study of  stock  price  reaction  to  stock  splits,  Fama  et  al.  (1969)  found  that 

there   was  considerable   market   reaction   prior   to   the   stock   split 

announcement  and  the  cumulative   abnormal   returns   taered   off   after   the 

event‐day.  They concluded that the market is efficient in the semi‐strong form. 

May   (1971),   Brown   and  Kennely   (1972)   and   Jordan   (1973)   studied   the 

behavior   of   security   prices   by  taking   the   quarterly   earnings   as   the   event 

and   found   that   the   results   were  consistet   with   the   semi‐strong   form   of 

EMH.   

Ball  and  Brown  (1968),  Beaver  (1968)  and  Beaver  et  al.  (1980)  examined  the 

magnitude   of   price   changes   surrounding   the   announcement   of   a   firm’s 

annual  earnings.   Their  results  showed  that  the  reaction  occurred  quickly  and, 

therefore,  the  EMH  in  the  semi‐strong  form  holds  good.   Kormendi  and  Lipe 

(1987),  and  Easton  and  Zmijewski  (1989)  found  evidence  consistent   with  stock 

prices   reflecting   cross‐sectional   differences   in   the   time  series   behavior   of 

earnings,   which   support   the   existence   of   efficient  markets.  Ball   and 

Bartov (1996)  reported  that  investors  are  aware  of  the existence  as well  as of 

the   signs   of   serial   correlation   for   all   the   lags.   They  found  that  all  the 

variables  had  predicted  signs.   However,  they  report  that  the  market 

systematically  underestimates  serial  correlation  in  standardized unexpected 

earnings.     

Some   of   the   studies   on   the   Indian   market   have   also   supported   the 

semi‐strong   form   of   EMH.   Obaidullah   (1992)   examined   the   bonus   issues 

and showed  that  the  market  was  capable  of  reacting  to  bonus  issues.  Dixit 

(1986) found that dividend was the most important determinant of share prices. 

Based   on   the   study   of   rights   issues,   Srinivasan   (1997)   concluded   that  the 

market   was   efficient   in   the   semi‐strong   form.   Narayana   Rao   (1994), who 

examined   the   share   price   responses   to   some   of   the   corporate   financial 

policy  announcements,   reported   that   the   stock   market   is   efficient   in   the 

semi‐strong form.

Whereas  the  above  studies  have  found  the  existence  of  the  efficient market, 

there   are   others   that   contradict   this.   Joy   et   al.   (1977)   found   that   the 

favorable  information   contained   in   quarterly   earnings   was   not   reflected   in 

share   prices.  Basu   (1977)   tested   the   predictive   content   of   Price‐Earnings 

(P/E)   multiples   and  concluded   that   the   result   was   a   contradiction   of 

semi‐strong  form  of  EMH. Charest  (1978)  found  no  evidence  for  the  NYSE 

being   efficient   in   interpreting  selected   cash   dividend   change   information 

during  1947‐1967.  This  is  based  on his  finding  that  a  systematic  trader  in 

dividend   changing   stocks   would   have  earned   significant   abnormal   returs. 

Jensen  (1978)  and  Joy  and  Jones  (1979) reported  that  the  semi‐strong  form 

of   EMH   does   not   hold   well.  Watts  (1978),  Rendleman  et  al.   (1982)  Foster et 

al. (1984),  Bernard  and  Thomas  (1989,  1990),  Freeman  and  Tse  (1989), 

Mendenhall  (1991)  and  Bartov  (1992)  found statistically  significant  abnormal 

returns  after  quarterly  earnings announcements.  According  to  Brown  (1979) 

stock   markets   failed   to   adjust  instantaneously   to   the   new   Earnings   Per 

Share   (EPS)   information.   The   results  of   Poterba   and   Summers   (1988)   and 

Ou   and   Penman   (1989a,   b),   are  inconsistent   with   the   semi‐strong   form   of 

EMH.  Bajaj  and  Vijh  (1995)  found that  all  dividend  announcements  without 

any   ex‐post   selection   criteria   are  accompanied   by   positive   average   excess 

returns.   They   also   found   that   positive  average   excess   returns   increase   as 

firm   size   and   stock   prices   decrease.  Cuthbertson   et   al.   (1997)   rejected   the 

existence   of   efficient   market   based   on  a study   of   the   behavior   of   the   UK 

stock   market   under   the   null   hypothesis   tat  the  expected   returns   are 

constant.   Porta  et  al.   (1997)   found  evidence  that  is  inconsistent  with  the 

risk‐based  explanation  for  return  differential.   They   reported  that 

post‐formation  earnings  announcement  returns  were substantially  higher for 

value  stocks  than  for  glamor  stocks.  This finding goes against the semi‐strong 

form  of  EMH.   Rangan   and   Sloan   (1998)   reported   that  earnings  expectations 

embedded   in   stock   prices   systematically   underestimate  the   time  series 

 
M.P.BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT   14
      “DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT, SECURITY PERFORMANCE, AND CAPITAL MARKET EFFICIENCY” 

properties  resulting  from   quarterly   reporting   requirements.  Studies   on    the 

Indian   market   in   this   area   have   cast   doubt   on   the   existence  of  the   EMH.  

Obaidullah   (1990)   examined   the   market   reaction   to   half‐yearly  earnings 

announcements  and  found  that  the  semi‐strong  form  of  EMH  could not  be 

accepted.  Barua  and  Raghunathan  (1990),  Sundaram  (1991)  and Obaidullah 

(1991)   cast   doubt   on   the   consistency   of   the   observed  price‐earnings  ratios 

with  fundamental   factors   like   dividend   growth   and  pay‐out‐ratios. 

Chaturvedi    (2000a)   found   that   low   P/E   stocks   outperformed  the  high   P/E 

ones and concluded  that  the  market  is  inefficient.  Chaturvedi (2000b) studied 

the  behavior  of  stock  returns  surrounding  the  announcement  of  half‐yearly 

earnings.   His   results    showed   that   abnormal   returns   were  present  both 

during  the   pre   and  post‐earnings   announcement   periods.  Mohanty   (2002) 

found  that companies which  announced  buyback  yielded excess  returns  even 

three  months after  the announcement  dates.  This casts doubt on the existence 

of  the  Semi‐strong  form  of  EMH.   However,  he  attributes  the  excess  returns  to 

high premium offered on buy backs. 

Moreover  investors  assign  a  great  deal  of  significance  to  announcement  of 

earnings and dividends  reports  as  it  reflects  the  financial  performance of  the 

company   and    is  an   indicator   of   the   future   direction   of   the   company. 

Earnings and dividends  announcements  provide  the  market  participants with 

the   single   most  important   piece   of   public  information   by   which   they   can 

evaluate   the  performance   of   a   firm.   The  market  is  filled  with  anticipation  at 

the time when  financial  results  of  a  company  are  to  be  announced  as  they 

form the bias  for  revalidation  of  the  future  growth  prospects  of  a  company 

which  would   be   reflected   in   a   buy,   hold   or   sell   strategy.   Thus,   the 

adjustment   of  stock   prices   to   the   announcement   of   earnings   reports   is   an 

important empirical  issue.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:   

PROBLEM STATEMENT:   

There   exists   conflicting   views   with   regard   to   the   impact   of   Earnings 

announcements   on   the   stock   prices.    Some   are   of   the   opinions   that  

earnings  announcements   do   affect   the   stock   price   of   the   shares   while  

others   argue   it  does   not.   Thus  there  exists  a  research  gap.   The  research 

problem under consideration is as follows:    

“Whether   there   is   any     significant   effect   on   the   stock   prices   due   to 

dividends announcements  or  not”.   

   

OBJECTIVE:   

1.  To   examine   whether   the   dividends  ’s   announcements   has   any                        

  impact  on  the  stock  market  reaction.     

2. To check the informational value of these announcements.   

HYPOTHESIS:   

H0  =  Dividends  announcements  do  not  have  any  impact  on  Stock  Prices.   

H1 = Dividends announcements do have impact on Stock Prices.   

SOURCES OF DATA: 

The   Dividends   announcements   made   by   companies   included   in   CNX 

NIFTY   during  the  year   2006‐07   is   considered.   Daily   adjusted  market   price 

data  for  the  sample  stocks  for  30  days  before  and  30  days after  the  board 

meeting   date   are   taken.   The  board  meeting  date  is  taken  as  event  or 

announcement  date.   The  required  data  is  extracted  from  Prowess, 

CapitaLine Plus  and  NSE  website

 
M.P.BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT   16
      “DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT, SECURITY PERFORMANCE, AND CAPITAL MARKET EFFICIENCY” 

LIMITATIONS:   

1. Sample size of 34 is considered.   

2. Macro economic factors are mot taken into consideration.   

3. Event window of t = ‐30 to +30 is taken.    

METHODOLOGY:   

Event   study   methodology   is   used   to   calculate   Average   Abnormal   Return 

(AAR)   and   Cumulative   Abnormal   Return   (CAAR)   for   the   event   window 

period.  i.e.  30 days before and after the day of announcement.   

   

Daily returns for each sample company are computed as:   

    Rit = Ln [Pit / Pit‐1]   

Where  Pit  &  Pit‐1    are  respective  daily  prices  for  company  i  at  time  t  and 

t‐1.    

   

Similarly,  the  actual  returns  for  the  market  are  also  computed  as:   

       Rmt = Ln [(It) / I t‐1]   

Where  It  and  It‐1  are  daily  index  values  at  time  t  and  t‐1.     

Sharpe’s  Market  model  is  used  to  compute  the  expected  return  as:   

       Rit = αi + βi Rmt + εit  

Where  Rit  =  expected  return  on  security  i  at  time  t.  Rmt  is  the  return  on 

the  market  index  at  time  t,  αi  is  the  estimate  of  the  intercept  for  share  of 

company  i  and  εit  is  the  independently  and  identically  distributed  residual 

error  term.

      “DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT, SECURITY PERFORMANCE, AND CAPITAL MARKET EFFICIENCY” 

In the next step, we calculated “abnormal” return as:   

   ARit = Rit ‐ αi + βi Rmt.  

 ARs   are   averaged   over   the   number   of   companies   for   each   day 

 surrounding   the   event   day   (i.e,   ‐30   to   +30   days)   by   using   the   following 

 equation:   

   (AARt)  = ΣARit / N   

In  the  next  step  CAAR  is  calculated  on  the  days  surrounding  the  event  as:   

(CAARd)  = Σ AARt.     

Further t‐testing is done to test the hypothesis.

Interpretation on the based of CAAR graphs

In an efficient market, CAAR should flatten out after the event day to
indicate that the market has absorbed the results quickly. But this was not the
casein this study since there were no cases were no cases were the CAAR if
flattened out after the event day. Hence strengthens the belief that the Indian
stock market is not efficient.

Interpretation based on t- test values

T-test indicate that the in 29 out of 34 companies the average of abnormal returns
before and the after the event day or not equal this supports the hypothesis that the
market is not semi-strong efficient because there is potential opportunity for
making more than normal profit.
