Excerpt from Earnings Information Conveyed by Dividend Initiations and Omissions
Together, the above three findings indicate that the information conveyed by dividend initiations and omissions is related to earnings changes in the year of and one year subsequent to the announcement of these dividend policy changes. This evidence is consistent with the dividend information hypothesis. The results are also consistent with l.intner's description that in making dividend policy decisions managers consider past, current and future earnings.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the significance of dividends in conveying corporate earnings information to investors. The author analyzes dividend initiation and omission announcements, demonstrating that these decisions are preceded and followed by significant changes in firms' earnings performance. Earnings increases prior to dividend initiations and decreases before omissions suggest that managers consider past and future earnings when setting dividend policy. The study also finds that the market interprets these announcements as forecasts of future earnings, with abnormal stock price reactions correlating with subsequent earnings changes. Moreover, the market's response to earnings announcements is muted following dividend policy changes, indicating that these announcements effectively convey earnings information to investors. The book contributes to our understanding of dividend policy and its role in corporate financial communication, providing valuable insights for investors, analysts, and corporate managers.
