Dividend Theories

Dividends as Signals
Dividend increases send good news about cash
flows and earnings. Dividend cuts send bad
news.
Because a high dividend payout policy will be
costly to firms that do not have the cash flow to
support it, dividend increases signal a company’s
good fortune and its manager’s confidence in
future cash flows.
Dividends Decrease Value

Tax Consequences
Companies can convert dividends into capital
gains by shifting their dividend policies. If
dividends are taxed more heavily than capital
gains, taxpaying investors should welcome such
a move and value the firm more favorably.
