The study applies simple regression model to know the impact of dividend on share prices using software packages such as E-views and MS-Excel 2007 model in investigating to find out if the Nigerian stock market reacts efficiently to dividend announcements in terms of price adjustments. In capturing reactions around the 3-day, 21-day and 61-day windows before and after the announcements, the study considered the level of the speed of adjustment of share prices to the announcement of dividend payments. In so doing earnings and dividend announcements are found to concurrently announced unlike in developed capital markets. Since the studies indicate a drift in share prices 30 days after announcements The CERs for the 3-day, 21-day and 60-day event windows are positive and statistically significant for dividend announcements. This shows that the Nigerian Stock Market does not react efficiently to dividend announcements in terms of prices adjustments and also does not adjust to announced changes in dividend policies by the Nigerian companies. Overall, this provides evidence that the Nigerian stock market is not semi-strong efficient, that dividend policy matters and that share prices do react to dividend announcements. The findings support semi-strong market inefficiencies found by Olowe (1998) and Oludoyi (1999) from stock splits and earnings announcements, respectively.

The author examines the stock market reaction to annual earnings information releases using data for a sample of firms on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Using the event study method, the author found that the magnitude of the cumulative abnormal returns is dominated by significant reactions 20 days before the earnings release date, which suggests that a portion of the market reaction may be due to private acquisition and, possibly, abuse of information by insiders. The persistent downward drift of the cumulative abnormal returns, 20 days after the announcement, is inconsistent with the efficient markets hypothesis.

In the world of investment, making a good decision could be equated to making good profit, and this has led to the issue around dividend policy which has attracted the attentions of investors and researchers over the years. This study investigated the impact of dividend policy on investors' preferences on Nigeria's capital market. Specifically, the study investigated the relationship between dividend per share, dividend yield, earnings per share and share price as measures for dividend policy, with equity ratio as a measure for investors preferences. Using quasi experimental design, secondary data were sourced from NSE closure of register and the financial reports of 12 firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2009-2019. Four hypotheses on the relationship between dividend per share, dividend yield, earnings per share and share price with equity ratio, were tested using the OLS regression analysis. The study found that all the independent variables except share price are negatively and insignificantly related to equity ratio. Nevertheless, the independent variables have combined positive and significant relationship with equity ratio. Therefore, it is concluded that dividend policy impacts on investor's preferences but not without some other external effects. It is therefore recommended that firms should pay attention to their dividend policy especially share price; give detailed information on their dividend policy through their annual report; and investors should look beyond share price to observe other dividend policy variables that may give them information on the future of the stock of interest.

This book sets out in simple form the workings of the capital, market and the brokerage industry. The first part is devoted to a descriptive analysis of the corporate structure and types of financial instruments, equity and debt securities, and so on. In the second part of the book the author managed to receive something of the intellectual approach to his subject, reminiscent of his days as a university lecturer, but amply demonstrates his total understanding of workings of the marketplace.

According to the signaling theory, dividend announcements are usually considered as a signal to the investors, about firm's future performance, that results in stock prices changes. This study attempts to investigate the stock prices response to dividend announcement in the Damascus Securities Exchange. The purpose of the study is to identify whether there are any significant abnormal returns around the public announcement of dividend. An event study methodology is used for an event window of forty days surrounding the announcement day. Research results indicate that most average abnormal returns are statistically insignificant, whereas the cumulative average abnormal returns are statistically significant for the whole event window. The downward drift of the cumulative average abnormal returns six days after the announcement suggests that prices don't adjust immediately to dividend information. The stock reactions appear within post-event window gradually in response to the dividends announcement.

This study investigates the stock market reaction of the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) to cash dividend announcements for the period 2000-2004. In particular, the paper examines both the stock price and trading volume response to company announcements about dividend distributions. The dividend distribution in Greece features remarkable differences from those of US, UK and other developed markets. First, dividends in Greece are paid on a yearly basis. Second, the corporate law designates with high accuracy the minimum amount for distribution from the net earnings. Third, neither tax on dividends nor on capital gains is imposed in Greece. Despite this restrictive informational environment, we document significant market reaction on dividend announcement dates. Similar market reaction is observed to dividend change announcements, lending support to the quot;information content of dividends hypothesisquot; which predicts market reaction on the direction of that of dividend change.
