Kan företag positivt påverka sin aktiekurs med aktieutdelningar? : En kvantitativ studie om utdelningens samband med aktiekursen

Background: Dividend and dividend policy is a research topic that is well known and frequently studied in financial economics. However there is no definite answer to if the dividend has an effect on the firm's value. The research surrounding dividend and its effect on firms value have shown a variety of different results. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the main independent variable dividend and control variables; total assets, revenue and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) on the dependent variable stock price. Method: The paper will be done in a quantitative approach based on a deductive research approach. The sample data of 60 companies for this study will be collected through Business Retriever, Orbit, Morningstar and annual reports of each company between the years 2011 to 2020. Results: The results in this study show that dividend has a statistically significant effect on the stock price of the companies observed. Furthermore the results indicate that Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, EBIT, has amedium-strong relationship with stock price, which shows a small significant association. The study could not prove that revenues and total assets have an effect on stock price in the regression analysis. However in the correlation analysis it was shown that there was a reasonable relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
