PaymentsStock Repurchase - Firm buys back stock

abundant dividend, then stock repurchase seems to
be a good strategy

DecisionHow Dividends are Determined?
1. Firms have long-term target dividend payoutratios.
2. Managers focus more on dividend changesthan on absolute levels.
3. Dividends changes follow shifts in long-run,sustainable levels of earnings rather thanshort-run changes in earnings .
4. Managers are reluctant to make dividend
changes that might have to be reversed.(They are particularly worried about having torescind a dividend increase)
Level of dividends can be taken as a signalabout the companys future prospect

3. High dividends bring high taxes and
therefore reduce firm value

Dividend policyHigher dividend payout means:
More current dividend amount, consequently higherstock price
But lower retention rate with lower amount available forreinvestment leading to lower growth depressing stockprice
Thus needs to strike a balance to maximize stock priceReferred as optimal dividend policyMMs proposition: value of a firm depends only on the
income produced by its assets
Not on how the income is split between dividends andretained earnings (growth)
Investors more certain of present dividend (bird-in-hand)and prefer present dividend yield, as against capitalgain yield (less certain of receiving capital gain in [email protected]

Tax rate on capital gains and on dividend income areusually different for investors (long-term capital gainsattract normally lower tax rate)
Again, capital gains tax not payable until stock is sold
Wealthy investors (who own most of the stock andreceive most of the dividends) likely to prefer higherretention rate for plough back of profits rather thanhigh dividend rate
Most firms try to follow a policy of paying a constant or
steadily increasing dividendThat provides stable income to investorsAny departures from it give investors information about
managements expectations for future earnings(signalling effects)

Dividends likely to be raised following a permanent(rather than temporary) increase in earnings and firmshave a long-run target for their dividends to earningsratio
Managers need to decide the target payout ratio and thespeed of adjustment of current dividend to target
Dividend may be paid by way of cash, or stock dividenddepending on companys cash position and its likely
impact on its capital structureStock split refers to increasing the number of shares,such as doubling the number of shares outstanding bygiving each stockholder two new shares for each oneformerly held- to keep the stock prices within the
optimal trading rangeStock repurchase plan- firm buys back some of its
outstanding stock, thereby decreasing the number ofshares and consequently increasing EPS and stock price

Since investors do not need dividends toconvert shares to cash (because they can doit themselves), they will not pay higherprices for firms with higher dividendpayouts. In other words, dividend policy will
have no impact on the value of the firm MM dividend-irrelevance proposition: Under
ideal conditions, the value of the firms isunaffected by dividend policy
Given the firms capital budgeting andborrowing decisions, dividend policy is a trade-offbetween cash dividends and the issue orrepurchase of common stock

Tax Consequences
Companies can convert dividends intocapital gains by shifting their dividend
policies. If dividends are taxed moreheavily than capital gains, taxpayinginvestors should welcome such a move andvalue the firm more favorably.
In such a tax environment, the total cashflow retained by the firm and/or held byshareholders will be higher than if dividends
