Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview of the Dividend Theories:
Dividends refer to that portion of a firm’s earnings which are paid out to the shareholders. Dividend
can be two types such as Cash dividend and Stock dividend. In cash dividend shareholders get a
certain percentage of cash of the net income whereas, a stock dividend is the payment to existing
owners of dividends in the form of stock. Corporations decide the form of dividend payment on the
basis of firm’s situation.
A dividend policy is the policy a company uses to decide how much it will pay out to shareholders as
dividends from retained earnings. It is a part of net income distributed among the shareholders.
Whether and what amount to pay as cash dividend is decided by the board of directors in (AGM)
Annual General Meeting. In the date of Annual General Meeting which is commonly known as
record date; the corporation declares the payment date on which dividends will be paid to those
shareholders who were registered in ex-dividend date.
In a corporation there are two types of shareholders. These two are most fundamental categories of
shareholders, which differ in the rights that they confer upon their owners. These are-
Common Shareholders: The payment of dividend to common shareholders is not fixed and
fluctuates by the net income.
Preferred shareholders: The payment of dividend to preferred shareholders is fixed and
mentioned when it is issued. Preferred stock can be classified in two types further.
Cumulative preferred shareholders: Dividend payment is mandatory if company makes
profit. In the case of loss, on that year dividend won’t be paid. But in the next year,
company must pay the outstanding dividends if the company earns sufficient profit.
Non-Cumulative preferred stock: Dividend payment is mandatory if the company makes
profit. But if there is loss, dividend payment is not required for that year.
Dividend theories are developed to help firms with their dividend policies. Dividend theory has 2
types.
Dividend Irrelevance Theory: Dividend irrelevance theory put forth by Metorn H. Millar &
Franco Modigliani (M&M) that in a perfect world, the value of a firm is unaffected by the
distribution of dividends and is determined solely by the earning power and risk of its assets
and that the manner in which it splits its earnings stream between dividends and internally
retained funds does not affect this value.
Dividend Relevance Theory: The theory Dividend relevance advanced by Gordon and
Lintner states that there is a direct relationship between a firm’s dividend policy and its
market value. Fundamentals to this proposition are their bird-in-the-hand argument, which
suggests that investors see current dividends as less risky than future dividends or capital
gains. That means investors are risk averse & attach less risk to current as opposite to future
dividends or capital gains.
