The stock market reaction to dividend announcements: a UK study of complex market signals
Article Abstract:
Stock market reaction to dividend and earnings announcements by UK companies from Jan.-Jun. 1991 is analyzed. Findings indicate that dividend and earning announcements influence the level of the companies' abnormal returns. However, earnings announcement has a more significant impact on share price than dividend announcement. Thus, information on earnings determines investor confidence better than information about dividend.
