These variables have a clear impact on stock returns but also impact on dividend yield. ‘SPSS’ statistical package to run statistical tests and answer study questions. Basic descriptive statistics (Mean, Standard Deviations) and frequency distribution were computed for each variable/question. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) coefficient estimates are used in this study. F-tests are used to test for the relationship between stock price volatility and dividend policy. The results show that preference for dividends is larger amongst older investors, compared to younger investors. Old investors and investors without university education all have a preference for dividends because of transaction costs. On the other hand, young investors and investors with a university education have less interest in dividends based on transaction costs. The results also suggest that the watch for dividends as a safeguard measure is still “old-fashioned”, even in light of the recent accounting scandals.The results also indicate that individual investors believe that dividend payments contain a signal about the profitability of the firm

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between stock price volatility (SPV) and dividend policy of industrial products firms listed on Bursa Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach The sample comprises 166 industrial products public-listed firms covering a time span from year 2003 to 2012. Using Baskin’s framework, firm’s SPV is related to dividend payout, controlling for earnings volatility, firm size, leverage and growth of assets. Further, the impact of the global financial crisis on the relationship between SPV and the tested variables is examined. Findings Earning volatility significantly explains SPV of industrial product firms during the crisis period, while dividend payout ratio (PR) predominantly influences volatility during pre- and post-crisis sub-periods. The empirical results indicate that dividend policy is a strong predictor of SPV of industrial products firms in Malaysia, particularly during the post-crisis period. Originality/value The paper explores the firm’s SPV and dividend policy for a new set of data focussing on industrial products firms listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

This study empirically tests for the validity of Miller and Modigliani’s dividend irrelevance proposition in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Secondary data were obtained from the Nigerian Stock Exchange fact book and firms’ annual audited financial statements for fifteen years (2001-2015). Mediation Analyses, was used to measure the direct and indirect effects of dividend on stock price. Correction of the anomalous use of current dividend and current earnings by the use of naive expectation of dividend and earnings revealed that the direct effect of expected dividend on share price is significant but the indirect effect of expected dividend on share price through earnings is not significant.  The implication of these results is that expected dividend has its unique (direct) effect on share price beyond the effect on share price which it shares with expected earnings (indirect effect). This conclusion suggests that dividend policy is relevant in valuation of shares in NSE. It was therefore recommended that company management should treat dividend as an active corporate finance decision-making variable and should employ dividend in information signalling to capital market investors.

Whether the stock price fluctuation in emerging markets such as China is dominated by “information efficiency” or “noise” has aroused many scholars’ disputes. Based on the “SSE e interaction” Q & A data, this paper uses the fixed effect model to study the impact of “SSE e interaction” on the stock price synchronization from 3 perspectives: the lag of the company’s response, the pertinence and the negative emotional tendency of investors. The research found that the targeted response of listed companies to investors’ questions in the “SSE e interaction” significantly improved the synchronization of stock prices, and the lag of the response may be the result of selective and tendentious information dissemination. The negative sentiment of investors has certain information content, but excessive negative sentiment may bring noise to the market. Our research shows that information and “noise” coexist in China’s capital market, but “noise” is still the dominant factor in stock price fluctuations.
