This paper models security price reaction to dividend cut announcements in the presence of informed traders and transaction costs. A transaction costs barrier prevents the attainment of a full information equilibrium price prior to the announcement of the cut. An empirical study of transaction costs and price reaction for both common stock and call options indicates that transaction costs may constitute a significant portion of security price reactions to cut announcements. Interestingly, the results of this interpretation allow for the simultaneous presence of dividend signaling and an informed subset of investors.

We examine whether and how payout policy affects credit risk using evidence from the credit default swap (CDS) market. CDS spreads increase substantially in response to announcements of dividend cuts, especially during recessions and among firms experiencing financial distress. CDS spreads also react more strongly to permanent and less anticipated dividend cuts. The size of the CDS reaction is more pronounced for financial firms, which are inherently more opaque. In contrast, CDS spreads react weakly to dividend raises and share repurchases. The results show that the information effect of dividend changes dominates the wealth-transfer effect. This paper was accepted by Kay Giesecke, finance.
