Introduction to Dividend Policy

1.1 Rationale of the study:

Dividend refers to the that part of net profits of a company which is distributed among
shareholders
As a return on their investment in the company. Dividend is paid on preference as well as equity
shares of the company.
On preference shares, dividend is paid a predetermined fixed rate. But the decision of a dividend
policy refers to a company’s strategy for deciding how much of its profits will be distributed to
shareholders as dividends and how much will be retained for growth. It influences investor
expectation and supports long-term business goals.
A dividend policy is a payment made by a company to its shareholders, usually from its profit. It
represents a share of the company’s earnings, given periodically to investors as a reward for the
investment and trust in the business.
Dividends can be issued in a various form, such as cash payments, additional shares, or other
assets. The decision to pay dividends depends on the company’s profitability, growth plans, and
dividend policy. While dividends provide shareholders with regular income, not all companies
issue dividends, as some prefer to reinvest profits to fuel business expansion. Dividends are
often seen as a sign of financial health and stability, making them attractive to income-focused
investors.

Thus, the dividend policy divides the net profits or earnings after taxes into
two parts:
(1) Earnings to be distributed as dividend

(2) Earnings retained in the business

Since dividends are distributed out of the profits, there exists an inverse relationship between
dividends distributed and retained earnings in the business. If larger net profits are distributed as
iv

dividends, retained earnings would be less and on the contrary, if lesser profits are distributed as
dividends, the retained earnings would be larger. The retained earnings are the most easily
accessible significant source of finance for the firm. A firm which declares larger dividends will
have to use external sources of financing to finance its investment opportunities.
Thus, a firm will have to choose between the portion of profits distributed as dividends and the
Portion ploughed back into the business. The choice is called the dividend policy and it will have
its effect on both the long-term financing and the wealth of shareholders.

Global steel demand, raw material costs, regulatory changes, and competition affect the
Profitability of Tata Steel’s directly influencing its ability to maintain or increase dividend
Payouts. The company strives to maintain a sustainable and competitive dividend payout ratio
that aligns with its earnings and financial position. This ensures that dividends are paid out
without compromising the company’s growth prospectus and investment needs.

As a publicly entity, Tata steel complies with all regulatory requirements regarding dividend
Distribution, including those mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
And other relevant authorities.

Tata Steel’s dividend policy reflects its commitment to both the growth of the company and the
Interests of its shareholders. The company aims to create long-term value for its investors while
Ensuring that its financial health remains robust

In causes where significant capital investment is required for growth or to strengthen the
Business, the company may adjust the dividend payouts in order to reinvest earning for
Expansion.

While the exact payout ratio may fluctuate based on business conditions, Tata Steel generally
seeks to maintain a reasonable payout ratio, aiming to provide a consistent and attractive.
v

1.2 Statement of the Problem:

Payment of dividend is desirable because the shareholders contribute in the capital of the
company to earn higher returns from their investment and to maximize their wealth. In
this, retained earnings are the major sources of internal finance for financing future
requirement such as expansion and modernization of the company. Hence, both business
growth and dividends are desirable. On the contrary, higher dividend leads to less
provision of funds for growth and higher retained earnings leads to low dividends which
majority of shareholders dissatisfies from return on investment. Therefore, both decisions
are complementary to each other and no decision can be taken independent of the other, the
finance manager has to formulate a guidable dividend policy to fix the proportion of
dividend payment and retention that can retain the existing shareholders and attract new
investors. These possible changes can be analyzed in the present study and attempt to make
the evaluation of dividend progress of select steel companies in India.

Dividend refers to the part of net profits of a company which is distributed among
Shareholder as a return on their investment in the company. Dividend is paid on preference
As well on preference as well as equity shares of the company.

On preference shares, dividend is paid at a predetermined fixed rate. But the decision of
Dividend on equity shares, is taken for each year separately. A company should adopt a
Consistent approach to the dividend decision on equity shares rather than taking a
Decision each year on a purely basis.

A settled approach for the payment of dividend is known as dividend policy.

Therefore, dividend policy means the broad approach according to which every year
It is determined how much of the net profits are to be distributed as dividends and how
Much are to be retained in the business.
vi

1.3 Scope of Dividend Policy:

The characteristics of dividend policy refer to the guidelines or principles that govern the
Decisions a company makes regarding the distribution of earnings to its shareholders. Here are
some key characteristics.

1)Stability:
A good dividend policy aims for stability in dividend payments. Companies tend to keep
dividends steady or increase them gradually to maintain shareholder confidence and avoid
signaling uncertainty about financial health.

2)Profitability:
Dividend payments are primarily influenced by the company’s ability to generate profits. If the
company is highly profitable, it may be more inclined to distribute dividends, while lower
profitability could result in reduce or no dividends.

3)Payout Ratio:
The payout ratio is the proportion of earnings paid out as dividends. Companies may choose to
distribute a high or low percentage of their profits based on their dividend policy.

4)Retention of Earnings:
Some companies may adopt a policy of retaining earnings (rather than paying out dividends) to
reinvest in business growth, expansion, or debt reduction. This is common in companies that are
focused on long-term growth rather than immediate shareholder returns.

5)Cash Flow Consideration:

The company must ensure it has enough cash flow to cover the dividends. Even if a company is
profitable, poor cash flow management might prevent dividend payments. the test of whether
you need to retain profits for working capital and borrowing facilities.
vii

1.4 Objective of study:

The objective of studying Tata Steel’s Pvt. Ltd. dividend policy would generally focus on
Understanding how the company determines the amount and timing of dividend payouts to its
Shareholder. Key objective could include:

1)Assessing profitability and cash flow management:

Understanding how Tata Steel balances retaining profits for reinvestment versus disturbing them
As dividends, and how this impacts the company’s financial health.

2)Evaluating Shareholder value:

Analyzing how the dividend policy impacts shareholder satisfaction and investor confidence,
Particularly in terms of providing regularly income and signaling financial stability.

3)Exploring corporate strategy:

Investing how the dividend policy aligns with Tata Steel’s overall corporate strategy, growth
plans, and capital structure.

4)Risk management:
Assessing how the company users its dividend policy to manage risk, particularly in volatile
market conditions or during periods of economic uncertainty.

5)Comparing Industry Benchmarks:

see how it stands in terms of shareholder returns. To evaluate how regulatory changes influence
the company’s dividend policy. To assess how industry trends, market conditions, and
competitive pressures impact Tata Steel Pvt Ltd. dividend decision of benchmarks.
viii

6)Impact of economic factors:

Understanding how external factors such as market conditions, raw material costs, and global
economic trends influence the dividend payout decisions.

7)Sustainability of the Dividend Policy:

Examining the sustainability of Tata Steel’s dividend payments, especially in relation to
earnings, debt levels, and capital expenditures.

The study would typically involve both qualitative and quantitative analysis, looking at historical
data, industry comparisons, and financial statements to draw conclusions about the company’s
approach to dividends.

This policy seeks to lay down a broad framework for the distribution of dividend by the company
whilst appropriately balancing the need of the company to retain resources for the company’s
growth & sustainability.

The primary objective of dividend policy is to balance shareholder returns with retained
earnings. This approach supports business growth and builds investor trust by ensuring
consistent returns without compromising the company’s financial health. The Board of Directors.
Sets the dividend policy.

Dividend is the objective of a play significant role in the overall return on investment, making
Them an essential aspect of financial planning. They represent a tangible benefit of holding a
Company’s stock, rewarding investors for their confidence and investment in the business.
ix

1.5 Hypothesis of the Study:

A potential research hypothesis related to Tata Steel Pvt. Ltd is dividend policy could be.
“The dividend policy of Tata Steel Pvt. Ltd. is significantly influenced by its profitability and
Capital expenditure needs, with a positive correlation between its earnings per share (EPS) and
Dividend payout ratio.”

The hypothesis could be explored in several ways:

1)Profitability Impact:
Investigate whether the company’s earnings (net profit) directly affect its dividend distribution,
i.e., higher profitability leading to higher dividends.

2)Capital expenditure:
Explore how tata steel balances its dividend payments with the need for capital expenditure for
Business expansion, plant maintenance, or debt reduction.

3)External factors:
Consider how factors like market conditions, raw material prices, and global economic trends
Influence dividend decisions.

4)Comparison with industry Peers:

Evaluate how tata steel’s dividend policy compares with similar firms in the steel industry, to
Understand whether it follows a more conservative or aggressive payout strategy.

You could analyze historical dividend data, financial reports, and capital expenditure trends to
Validate the hypothesis.
x

1.6 Research design:

The theory of dividends focuses on how firms should distribute profits to shareholders, either
through dividends or by reinvesting profits. Here are the details of three well-known dividend
theories:

1)MM Theory (Modigliani-Miller Theory of Dividends)

The Modigliani–Miller Theory of Dividends, introduced by Franco Modigliani and Merton
Miller in 1961, states that in a perfect capital market (without taxes, transaction costs, or
Bankruptcy risk), a company’s dividend policy does not affect its value. According to this
theory, the total value of a firm is determined by its earning power and risk of its assets, and not
by how it chooses to distribute profits between dividend and retained.

➢ Key Assumptions:

➢ No taxes, no transaction costs, no bankruptcy risks.

➢ Investors can create their own dividend policy by selling shares to create their desired

Cash flow.

• Implication:

The firm’s dividend policy is irrelevant to its valuation. Investors are indifferent to whether
dividends are paid or not because they can adjust their portfolio to match their income
preferences.

Formula: V0 = E / r Where:
V0 = Value of the firm
E = Earnings of the firm
r = Required rate of return
xi

Thus, the firm’s value is independent of the dividend payout.

2)Walter’s Model of Dividends
Walter’s model, developed by James E. Walter, focuses on the relationship between the firm’s
internal rate of return (r) and it cost of capital (k). This model suggests that a firm’s dividend
policy has an impact on its value, depending on whether the rate of return on investment (r) is
greater or less than the costs of capital (k).

➢ Key Assumptions:

➢ The firm’s investment decisions are predetermined and constant.

➢ The firm’s cost of capital (k) and internal rate of return (r) are known and constant.

➢ The firm has no external financing (only retained earnings are used for investment).

• Main proposition:

• If r > k, the firm should retain earnings an invest in profitable objects, as this will

increase the value of the firm.

• If r < k, the firm should pay dividends, as reinvestment would not generate value.

• If r = k, the dividend policy does not matter.

Formula: The value of the firm is given by:

P=D+E/r
r
Where:
P = Price of the stock
D = Dividend per share
E = Earnings per share
r = Required rate of return
xii

3)Gordon’s Growth Model (also known as Gordon-Shapiro Model

While not always grouped with MM and Walter’s model, this is another popular theory of
dividends. It focuses on the effect of dividend policy on the market value of the firm’s stock,
based on the assumption that the firm will grow at a constant rate (g).

➢ Key Assumptions:

➢ Dividends grow at a constant rate.

➢ The cost of equity (k) is greater than the growth rate (g).

• Main proposition:

• A higher dividend payout ratio results in a higher stock price if the firm’s internal rate of

return exceeds the required rate of return.

• Investors prefer companies that pay regular, growing dividends because they provide a

reliable income stream and indicate financial health.

Formula:
P0 = D0(1 + g)
r-g
Where:
P0= Price of the stock today
D0 = Dividend just paid
r = Required rate of return
g = Growth rate of dividends
Each model provides a different perspective on how dividends affect a company’s valuation, and
They consider various factors like the rate of return, growth, and the efficiency of capital
markets. Implies dividend policy doesn’t matter to the firm’s value in a perfect market.

1.6.1 Sampling technique:

To understand the sampling technique used by Tata Steel Pvt. Ltd. for its dividend policy, we
Need to clarify that companies typically base their dividend policies on factors like profitability,
Capital requirements, market conditions, and investor expectation.

1)Random Sampling:
Research could randomly select data points or years from Tata Steel Pvt. Ltd. history to analyze
The trend and make conclusions about its policy. For instance, selecting financial reports from
Every 5th year to study the dividend payout ratio or changes over time.

2)Stratified Sampling:
This method would involve dividing the data into different “strata” or groups based on certain
Characteristics. For example, different fiscal years could represent various economic conditions.
Then, samples from each stratum could be chosen to understand how the dividend policy adapts
To varying circumstances. One could also classify data by dividends types (e.g., interim or final
Dividends) or by different time periods.

3)Systematic Sampling:
In this method, researches might select a sample at regular intervals (e.g., every 2nd or 3rd year.)
This could help in capturing a steady trend in the dividend payouts across a period of years.
For instance, taking every 3rd quarter’s financial data to study Tata Steel’s dividend payouts.

4)Convenience Sampling:
Researchers might use data that is readily available or easy to access. In this case, publicly
Available reports, like annual financial statements or quarterly earnings report should be used
To analyze the dividend policy.
xiv

1.6.2 Population:

An organization considers many factors before deciding its dividend policy.

The explanation of various types of dividend policy is as follows:

1)Stable Dividend Policy:

A stable dividend policy aims to ensure a predictable payout, which most investors value.
Whether the payout increases or decreases, investors will continue to dividends. Dividends are
typically distributed every quarter but may be paid out annually or semi-annually.
A company with a stable dividend policy provides a fixed dividend payment every year, even
when earnings are volatile. For example, if a payout rate of 8% is set, then that’s the percentage
of profits that the company will pay out, regardless of its performance during the financial year.
Refers to the policy in which an organization pays regular dividend to its shareholders. The
Stable dividend policy is also known as constant-payout-ratio.

2)Long-Term Dividend Policy:

A business with a stable dividend policy pays out a steady dividend every given period,
Regardless of the volatility in the market. The exact amounts of dividends that are paid out
Depends that are paid out depends on the long-term earnings of the company. The dividend’s
growth is in line with the company’s long-term earnings.
It’s a long-term strategy that seeks to invest in stable companies with consistently increasing
dividends and to take advantage of the power of compounding. And if you choose not to reinvest
dividends, they can be an additional source of income. For this reason, many retirees invest in
dividend-paying stocks.

3)Regular and Extra Dividend Policy:

Under a regular and extra dividend policy, companies pay out dividends to shareholders every
year. If a company makes profit than it was expecting, the excess profit than it was expecting, the
xv

excess profits will be held by the company as retained earnings, instead of being distributed to
shareholders.
An extra dividend is a way for a company to share a windfall of exceptional profits directly with
Its stockholders. An extra dividend will have the same effect as a regular dividend on a stock’s
price, which is, that on the ex-dividend date, the stock price will be reduced by the amount of the
dividend declared.

4)Irregular Dividend policy:

With an irregular dividend policy, there’s essentially no set schedule for issuing dividends,
which means that the company’s board of directors will decide what to do with the firm’s profits.
It is an irregular dividend policy the company does not follow a set pattern for dividend
payments. Instead, it pays dividends based on its earnings, cash flow, and capital requirements.
The irregular dividend policy is favorable for an organization, which has unstable income.
Although, shareholders do not approve this policy very much, as it does not provide any certain
income.

5)Constant Dividend policy:

Under this policy, the company pays a fixed percentage of its earnings as dividends. So, if the
Company’s earnings fluctuate, the dividend payout will vary accordingly.

6)Residual Dividend policy:

This policy involves paying dividends only after the company has funded its capital expenditures
(capex) and business expansion. Dividend are paid from the left-over profit (residuals), so profit
Divided amounts may vary depending on the company’s capital needs.
This is a combination of different policies, where companies may pay a certain fixed dividend
And then offer additional when profits allow. If tries to balance stability with growth.
If you meant something else by “population” in terms of dividend policy.
xvi

1.6.3 Sample Size:

The sample size of a study on dividend policy typically refers to the number of companies. Or
Observation included in the analysis. The exact size depends on various factor the time period,
And statistical considerations like the desired confidence level and margin of error.

1)Population Size:
Identify the total number of companies or firms in the population (e.g., publicly traded
Companies in a specific country or industry.)

2)Confidence Level and Margin of error:

A common confidence level is 95%, with a margin of error of 5%. These parameters can
Influence the required sample size.

3)Effect Size:
This refers to the expected magnitude of the difference or relationship you are studying (e.g., the
Effect of dividend policy on firm value).

4)Statical Power:
The likelihood of detecting a true effect if there is one. A typical power is 0.8 (or 80%).

5)Sampling Method:
Whether you’re using a simple random sample, stratified sample, or another method affects how
You calculate the sample size. Often range from 50 to 200 firms, depending on the research
Design and objective.
xvii

1.6.4 Data Collection:

Data refers to the information or facts. Often researchers understand by data as only
numerical figure. It also includes descriptive facts, numerical information, quantitative and
qualitative information. Collection of data is an important stage in research. Collection of
data is done by two methods:
Primary data collection: For analysis and interpretation purposes, statistical methods are
used for raw data in "raw" form.

Secondary data collection:

The present study purely based on the Secondary data only. The related data, such as profit
and Loss account statement, balance sheet and some important Key ratios were collected
from the published annual reports of selected steel companies in India. Other related
Information was collected from, official website of selected Steel companies, NSE, BSE,
annual report of the ministry of steel research publications and various academic research
reports.

Sampling:
In order to analyze the dividend performance of TATA companies, the details of 5
companies were collected. From this, the steel companies which satisfied the following
criteria which have been shortlisted for further research:
The companies listed in NSE and BSE.
Availability of data at least for the period of 10 years.
The company should have at least three years of continues profit during the study period.
The companies declared and paid dividend for a minimum of three years during the study
period.
The selected Tata steel companies have been classified as large and mid-cap companies
based on market capitalization.
xviii

• Some Data Collection are factor of the following ways:

1)Financial reports:
Collect annual reports and financial statements for the last 5-10 years, focusing on the
Dividend payout ratios, earnings, and other related data.

2)Dividend History:
Obtain data on the amount of dividend declared over the past several years, as well as the
dividend yield and payout ratio.

3)Stock performance:
Analyze the stock performance of tata steel to see if there is any correlation with dividend
Declarations.

4)Industry Comparisons:
Compare Tata Steel’s dividend policy with that of other steel companies or major industry
players.

For a more detailed understanding of data collection are current dividend policy, it would
be useful to took our for the look at their annual reports, financial statements, and any
public communications or announcement made by the company regarding dividend.
xix

1.6.5 Tools of Analysis:

Dividend policy analysis refers to the approach that a company uses to determine the amount and
Timing of dividend payments to shareholders. Several tools and methods can be used to assess
and analyze a company’s dividend policy:

1)Dividend Payout ratio:

This ratio measures the proportion of earnings paid out as dividends to shareholders. It is
Calculated as:

Dividend payout ratio = Dividends per Share (DPS) / Earnings per Share (EPS)
A higher ratio suggests that the company is returning a larger portion of its profits to
Shareholders.

2)Dividend Yield:
The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment by the market price of the stock. It is a good
Indicator of the income an investor can expect from dividends relative to the price of the stock.

Dividend yield = Dividend per share (DPS) / Price per share * 100
It helps investors access the income potential assess the income potential of a stock.

3)Earnings stability and growth:

Assessing the stability and growth of earnings is critical to understanding whether a company
can sustain its dividend policy in the future.

4)Dividend cover ratio:

This ratio indicates the safety margin of dividends by company’s earnings to the total payment.
xx

1.7 Limitations of study:

The study of dividend policy at Tata Pvt Ltd. may have several limitations including:

1)Financial data related to dividend payouts may be incomplete or not publicly available for
Private companies like Tata Pvt Ltd. This can affect the comprehensives of the analysis.

2)The study might rely heavily on managerial discretion and subjective judgements regarding
Dividend policies, which could vary over time and be influenced by external factors.

3)Since Tata Pvt. Ltd is a private company, comparing its dividend policy with publicly traded
companies might not be entirely accurate due to differences in regulatory frameworks, market
pressures, and shareholder expectations.

4)Private companies typically have fewer disclosure requirements compared to public

companies, making it challenging to obtain a detailed understanding of the company’s internal
financial policies and decision-making process.

5)The impact of external factors such as market conditions, industry trends, or economic shifts
on dividend policies may not be easily quantifiable, leading in generalizing the findings.

6)If the company’s governance structures are not adequately reviewed, the study might overlook
How decision-making processes, shareholder influence, or ownership structure impact dividend
Policy.

These limitations can affect the depth, breadth and applicability of the study’s finding.

LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 Introduction
2.2 Literature Survey
xxviii

2.1 Introduction:

1)Study of Dividend of Tata Steel in Relation to EPS:

Author Name: SOHELI Ghose
Year:7, July (2013)
Description:
Dividend Decision one of the important aspects as the primary goal of corporate finance is to
Maximize shareholder value thereby of corporate finance. Corporate finance deals with
long-term and short-term decisions and techniques relating to monetary decisions that business
enterprises make and the tools and analysis used to make these decisions, In the above context I
have studied the relationship between the Dividend per share, EPS, operating Profit per share, &
Free Reserves per share of Tata Steel over a period of 2008 to 2012. The study is based on
Secondary data collected from the authentic websites of these companies. I have used Pearson” s
Correlation Coefficient (2 Tailed test, 5% Level of Significance) to see whether there is any
Significant correlation between the above-mentioned variables. It also needs to be seen whether
There are any major fluctuations in the above variable over the period of study and to what
Extent. Thus, one can conclude that Dividend decisions being one of the important decisions of
Corporate finance is influenced by EPS, Operating Profit per share & Free Reserves per share of
Tata Steel.

2)Determinants of dividend yield in the Case of Indian Companies:

Author Name: Aishwarya Krishnan
Year:6, January (2015)
Description:
The dividend policy of a firm is a major aspect of corporate financial management. It has
xxix

possible effects on share prices, financing through retained profits, equity financing and gearing
ratio. The present study examines the determinants of corporate dividend decision of Indian
companies included in the Nifty 50 and Nifty Junior as on 1st October 2014. The data has been
sources from CMIE Prowess database. In order to identify the determinants of dividend yield,
organizational variables like Age of the firm (AGE), Earnings Per Share (EPS).
Market Price to Book Value Ratio (MBR), Market Capitalization (MCAP) and Debt-Equity
Ratio (DER) were used as independent variables. The result of the regression shows that Market
Capitalization and Earnings Per Share has significant influence on dividend decision of a
Company whereas others factors like Age, Market Price to Book Value Ratio and Debt-Equity
