Dividends Increase Value
Market Imperfections and Clientele Effect
There are natural clients for high-payout stocks, but it does not follow that any particular firm can benefit by increasing its dividends. The high dividend clientele already have plenty of high dividend stock to choose from.
These clients increase the price of the stock through their demand for a dividend paying stock.

Dividends Decrease Value
Tax Consequences
Companies can convert dividends into capital gains
by shifting their dividend policies. If dividends are
taxed more heavily than capital gains, taxpaying
investors should welcome such a move and value
the firm more favorably.
In such a tax environment, the total cash flow
retained by the firm and/or held by shareholders will
be higher than if dividends are paid.

Taxes and Dividend Policy
� In US since capital gains are taxed at a lower rate
than dividend income, companies should pay the
lowest dividend possible.
� Dividend policy should adjust to changes in the tax
code.
