Abstract: THE IMPACT OF DIVIDEND POLICY ON SHAREHOLDER WEALTH
This research aims to evaluate the impact of dividend policy on shareholder wealth. Objectives include understanding the relationship between dividend payouts and shareholder returns, identifying factors influencing dividend decisions, and assessing the long-term effects of dividend policies. A survey research design is selected to gather data from financial managers and shareholders. Using Taro Yamane's formula, a sample size of 250 companies was chosen for the study, focusing on firms in Abuja, Nigeria. The reliability coefficient score of the survey instrument is 0.88. Findings suggest that consistent and well-structured dividend policies significantly enhance shareholder wealth, with dividends providing both income and signals of firm stability. Recommendations include adopting transparent dividend policies that align with shareholder expectations and corporate financial health.
