论现金股利与股票股利的比较

随着我国市场经济的不断发展,一些上市公司在对取得收益进行分配方面采用了不同的分配方式,其中主要的分配政策有发放现金股利和股票股利两种,如何科学合理的从这两种中选择一个适合的分配政策是许多企业值得探讨的问题。本文从现金股利和股票股利的基本理论出发,对现金股利与股票股利进行了比较,为公司选择分配政策提供了一些依据,可以促进企业更好的选择出一个科学合理的分配方案。

现金股利信号传递效应实证分析

股票的价格往往受到一些非系统风险因素如股票的盈利公告或分配预案等等的影响。然而 ,在我国股票市场上 ,股利是否是一种有效的信号传递机制 ?在利用深圳股票市场的数据对派发现金股利的股票的市场反应作了实证检验之后 ,得出的结果表明 :目前 ,在我国股票市场上 ,现金股利不能成为有效的信号传递工具 ,不能引起公司股票价格的升高 ,投资者也不能由此获得超额收益。     

我国上市公司股利政策信息内涵的实证研究

股利政策是现代公司理财的三大核心内容之一,它是公司融资、投资活动的延续,是其理财行为的必然结果。本文采用事件研究法对我国上市公司股利政策的信息内涵进行实证研究,以1997-2004年度上海证券交易所上市的A股股票的股利分配行为为研究对象,考察我国上市公司的股利政策是否传递了信息、传递了怎样的信息这两个方面的内容;同时,针对不同的股利支付方式进行了信息传递的敏感性测试。     

股票股利分配的中外比较

通过对美国、日本和我国上市公司股票股利分配方式的选择,股利分配水平的制定,以及股利分配行为的稳定性与否进行了比较分析;解释了中西方上市公司之所以采取不同的股利分配会计处理的背景差异,最终得出了我国上市公司应从会计制度和税收方面改进和完善的启示。     

股利分配方式对企业的影响及会计处理

股利分配方式主要包括现金股利、股票股利、财产股利、负债股利和股票回购。由于对股利分配的相关会计规定散见于不同准则中,特别是财产股利、负债股利及股票回购的会计处理在目前的会计准则中没有涉及,因此,有必要探讨不同股利分配方式对投资企业和被投资企业的影响及其会计处理。     

上市公司股利分配理论及其规范机制的思考

上市公司的股利分配不仅反映了公司内部融资的程度,影响着公司的财务结构和投融资活动,关系着公司的未来;而且反映了公司对股东投资的直接回报,影响着股东的投资热情和投资态度,更关系到我国资本市场的健康发展。因此,及时准确了解我国上市公司股利分配现状及趋势, 对分析、预测与控制我国资本市场发展和经济发展是必要的。公司分配给股东的报酬,是投资于股票收益的重要方式。分配方式不仅涉及股东的切身利益,而且关系到公司财务结构的变化以及公司的未来发展。因此,采用何种方式分配上市公司股利必须认真决策。     

民营上市公司现金股利信号传递效应实证研究

系统考察股利分配预案公告日我国民营上市公司现金股利信息的信号传递效应,并在研究方法上对我国当前该领域研究中所存在的缺陷进行了弥补。在严格控制了盈余信息、公司规模等因素后,分别对2001-2003年度我国民营上市公司股利分配预案公告日前后样本(除送、配方案之外)的“纯”现金股利分配预案的市场反应进行了分析。结果发现,股利分配预案公告日前后,民营上市公司发放现金股利并没有受到市场排斥,其超常收益显著为正。     

基于盈利能力视角的股利信息含量研究

本文以中小企业板上市公司为研究对象,以实证分析的方法研究股利与公司盈利能力的关系。研究结果支持股利信号传递假说,纯股票股利不具有信息含量,现金股利和混合股利具有信息含量,高数量混合股利具有高信息含量。     

股利政策信息结构与股价行为研究

通过构建股利政策信息结构和时空两维股利信息模型,研究中国上市公司不同股利政策的信息结构、信息环境及其对波动性、市场深度和流动性等股价行为的影响。研究发现现金股利政策公告前,没有发现显著的信息性交易行为;股票股利政策公告前后,市场信息结构没有发生显著的变化;不分配利润的企业在公告前,出现了显著的由信息引起的交易行为;公司发布股利政策不仅能够传递公司价值的信息,而且公司价值信息的传递还与市场所处的信息环境密切相关,不同的信息环境、信息结构影响了信息作用于市场变量的变化路径。     

Long‐Run Stock and Operating Performance of Underwriter Warrants: Evidence from Seasoned Equity Offerings

We examine the long‐run stock and operating performance of firms issuing underwriter warrants. Using matched samples, we found significant long‐run underperformance of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) with warrant compensation, relative to SEOs with cash compensation, following offering announcements. Profitability measures of firms issuing underwriter warrants are also significantly lower over the post‐offering period. In sharp contrast to these results, growth measures of warrant‐issuing firms are greater for both pre‐ and post‐offering periods. Combined together, our results suggest that underwriter warrants are offered in a way to take advantage of the higher growth potential of issuing firms in the short term, whose growth trend is, however, transitory and not materialized into higher stock or operating performance over the long‐run, post‐offering period. We interpret our results as suggesting that the certification effect of SEOs with warrant compensation through growth signaling does not last in the long run. We further offer a behavioral approach as explanations of the short‐run outperformance of SEO firms with warrant compensation with empirical evidence supporting the Miller's divergence of opinion hypothesis.     

股票定价的奥尔森模型成立条件

根据奥尔森(Ohlson)1995年提出的RIV模型,对公司股票的估值只需预测其未来的盈利而不用考虑现金流和股息政策。通过研究不同的股息分配政策,利用会计理论模型,推导出该模型的成立条件。研究表明该模型在许多正常的经营情况下并不成立,股票定价模型不能回避未来现金流和股息的影响。     

How Does Stock Market React to Dividend Surprises? Evidence from Emerging Markets of India and Russia

In this article the authors empirically investigate information content of dividends announcements and average reaction of emerging markets of India and Russia to dividend surprises on the postcrisis period 2010 to 2014. The study applies an analysts’ expectations-based approach rarely used in academic literature. The authors conclude that the Russian market on average reacts negatively to good and bad dividend surprises; good dividend surprises on average trigger positive abnormal returns on Indian stocks, whereas bad and no surprises are associated with negative reactions of the Indian market. Results of the study are discussed from the perspective of dividend signaling theory, market efficiency, and investor behavior.     

The Value of Imputation Tax Credits on Australian Hybrid Securities

Hybrid securities are becoming an increasingly important component of the capital structure of Australian firms. While displaying characteristics of both debt and equity, one principal equity attribute of hybrids is their ability to pay franked dividends. This enables resident domestic investors to claim corporate tax payments as a credit against personal tax obligations under Australia's dividend imputation tax system. This paper estimates a value for the ‘franking credits’ that attach to hybrid securities by examining stock price changes around ex‐dividend dates. We add to the literature that examines the ex‐day price changes of ordinary shares (OS) in that the hybrid securities we examine have high dividend yields and are relatively insensitive to market movements. Therefore the signal‐to‐noise ratio is much higher than for OS. Our analysis reveals that cum‐dividend day prices on hybrid securities do not include any value for franking credits. This result is consistent with the notion that the price‐setting investor in the Australian market is a foreign investor who places no value on franking credits.     

Repurchases of convertible preferred stock and shareholder wealth

In this paper we provide the first comprehensive examination of the stock price reaction to announcements of convertible preferred stock repurchases over the 1981 to 2005 period. We document a positive and significant average common stock abnormal return of 3.27% around announcements of these repurchases. We test signaling and free cash flow explanations for the observed wealth effects by studying abnormal returns and changes in operating performance around repurchase announcements. We find that abnormal returns are positively related to size of repurchases and managerial ownership. We find no evidence of higher stock price reactions for low-q and high free cash flow firms. In addition, we find significant improvements in accounting profitability subsequent to repurchases, but not for low-q firms. Collectively, our results are most consistent with the signaling hypothesis.     

Frequency and Motives for Stock Dividends in a Unique Environment

We investigate the possible differences in the information content of stock dividends between firms that distribute stock dividends frequently (frequent distributors) and firms that distribute stock dividends infrequently (infrequent distributors) using a unique data set from Oman where the market microstructure frictions are either absent or limited. We find that infrequent stock dividend distributors have higher postdistribution operating performance relative to frequent distributors. We also find that the illiquidity measure is significantly related to the announcement effect only for frequent stock dividend distributors, whereas short‐term performance is significantly related to the announcement effect only for infrequent distributors. Our findings indicate that infrequent stock dividends are used mainly to convey favorable private information about the firms’ future prospects, and frequent stock dividends are used to reduce stock price to an optimal trading range in order to improve trading liquidity.

Instability in the dividend policy of the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) corporations: evidence from an emerging market

Dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in emerging markets is significantly different from the widely accepted dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in developed markets. This study provides evidence from the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE), an emerging European stock market, and analyses empirically whether the ISE corporations follow stable cash dividend policies in a regulatory environment that imposed mandatory dividend policies. Unlike the empirical results supporting the stable dividend policy behaviour of corporations operating in developed markets, the empirical results show that the ISE corporations follow unstable cash dividend policies and the main factor that determines the amount of cash dividends is the earnings of the corporation in that year.     

中国上市公司股利变动与经营业绩相关性分析

用2000—2004年间现金股利变动的中国上市公司为样本,考察公司股利变动与经营业绩之间的关系,实证结果表明:增加股利和首次发放股利的公司在公告前两年收益增加,在公告后两年收益减小;而减小和停发股利的公司情况正好相反。中国上市公司的股利政策主要是依据过去和当前的经营业绩而不是未来预期的经营业绩,实证结果与股利信号假设预测不一致。进一步检验发现,尽管短期内市场对股利增加公告有正面反应,对股利减小有负面反应,但市场对股利公告的长期反应与短期反应截然相反。     

Investment opportunities and dividend omissions

This study examines the market's reaction to dividend omission announcements and finds that if dividends are skipped to preserve cash for good investments, investors do not necessarily regard the omission as negative information. Markets penalize firms for dividend omissions only in the absence of a good stream of investments. In addition, the positive relation between investment opportunity and abnormal stock returns around the announcements is stronger when the level of information asymmetry between management and the rest of the market participants is low. Additional tests reveal that good omitters overcome underperformance faster in the post period. Overall, the results suggest that financial markets interpret differently the information conveyed in the announcement of dividend omission depending on the firm's future prospects.
