Dividend policy is the policy used by a company to decide how much it will pay out to shareholders in dividends. A company generates profit. Part of the profit is kept in the company as retained earnings and the other part is distributed as dividends to shareholders. From the share valuation model, the value of a share depends very much on the amount of dividend distributed to shareholders. Dividends are usually distributed in the form of cash (cash dividends) or share (share dividends).
Several factors must be considered when establishing a firm’s dividend policy. These include
The liquidity position of the firm: just because a firm has income doesn’t mean that it has any cash to pay dividends.
Need to repay debt: oftentimes there are negative covenants that restrict the dividends that can be paid as long as the debt is outstanding.
The rate of asset expansion: the greater the rate of expansion of the firm, the greater the need to retain earnings to finance the expansion.
