[21]
cash dividend now there are different sort of dividends are there you know
[25]
people classify some classify as not this one but as homemade dividends cash
[31]
dividend shares based dividend dividends different different sort of
[35]
dividends are there we'll try and discuss this in a detailed format first
[38]
we will try and learn what is
[42]
cash dividend
[46]
see a cash dividend is basically a return that is money that is paid to the
[50]
shareholders for the investments that is made in the share of the organization so
[54]
it is basically considered as a reward to the investors after considering the
[59]
future prospects
[62]
and know of the firm so the cash dividend is paid out of the net profits
[69]
of the firm by the firm during the financial layer so it is not mandatory
[72]
for the company to declare the dividend and said the amount can be ploughed back
[75]
for other development activities of the company so however most of the
[79]
established firm they declare dividend on what we call as yearly basis or maybe
[84]
once or in 2 years of keeping the investor interested to the cash dividend
[88]
is paid per share basis right so let's understand the second part how the
[95]
chronology will go for the cash dividend see there are some important dates that
[99]
one should know around the concept of cash dividend first is called the
[104]
declaration date now the day when the board of directors of the company
[108]
announces the approval for the dividend payment second is called the holder of
[113]
the record date see this is the record date of the dividend and it is the day
[119]
on which the eligible stockholders are recognized the next is called the
[125]
ex-dividend date the ex-dividend date is whereby I know the investors are cut off
[129]
from receiving dividend so it's are basically normally closely around you
[133]
can say two days prior to the holder of the recorded so this date is very
[137]
important because the new shareholders are not as you will for evident from the
[140]
date onwards now this is because the stock price tends to fall due to the
[144]
cash dividend payments now first there is a cum dividend cum dividend date and
[149]
now the time period when the dividend has been declared by the firm but it
[153]
has not been actually paid so the stock trade come do it until the ex-student
[156]
date second is called the payment date now the date on which the actual
[161]
dividend is paid to the stockholders of record so in case of the interim
[165]
dividend payout happens within closely around 30 days you can say that 30 days
[170]
is the payor take from the announcement date of the dividend but for the final
[174]
dividend payment has to be made within 30 days of the AGM general meeting okay
[178]
this is the chronology now let's take an example to understand this
[183]
let us assume that you know there's a company called PQR and they have
[187]
substantially high profits for the current financial year and they decided
[190]
to distribute dividends to all of its shareholders let's say Mr. C it owns a
[195]
150 shares there's bought at let's say at 15 per
[200]
share okay which makes us the total investment
[203]
as 150*15 comes down to 2250 so if the firm declares a
[208]
cash dividend of let's say 0.5 per share Mr. C gets the total dividend as 150
[214]
into 0.5 so the yielding on the same will go as 75 divided by 2250 that
[222]
comes down to 3.3% so let's understand the functioning of dates
[225]
through cash dividend an example let's say on March
[229]
28 figure company declares paying the regular cash dividend of
[234]
let's say 0.5 or share so it further mentions that the holder of the record
[240]
it shall be closely around April 27 okay and the payment date will be 20th May or
[249]
destroyed 20th me okay so the ex-dividend date will be 25th of April
[259]
this will be the ex-dividend date indicating any new shoulders Herr on are
[264]
not eligible for the dividend so it covers up t plus 2 days right now 25th
[269]
to 27 okay so the time frame between March 28th and April 25th you know which
[277]
is when the shares are trading come if any new share holders joints till April 25th
[281]
then they are eligible for the dividend facility and May 20 is the payment of
[285]
the date on which the pqr will dispatch checks to the holder of the record so
[289]
extending the above example you know the cash dividend also has an inverse impact
[292]
on the share price the stock price generally fall host of identical
[297]
addition since its fall in the equity value of the business since you know the
[302]
stock price will generally fall post dividend declarations in its fall is in
[305]
the equity value of the business now let's say the price of the above stock
[310]
was trading at $12 per share prior to the event and it's and at the following
[314]
date it falls around 11.5 assuming mr. C retains the shares so there is no change
[319]
in the nominal value any market value the share price to the event is gonna be
[324]
12 right into 150 shares 12 x 150 shares that's 1800 so
[333]
the market value post the event is gonna be 11.5 x 150 that's 175 so as
[339]
calculated about the cash dividend received was 75 and the value of the
[345]
shares post is 1725 it's just a difference that's 75 okay so the value
[353]
of the share posed the event was 1725 and when combined it takes a total
[358]
value of 1,800 that is 1725 + 75 which was the value of the shares prior
[365]
to the event of the dividend so this implies that the share value decreases
[368]
roughly around the same amount as the cash dividend now let's try and discuss
[374]
the importance of cash dividend see there are multiple factors which impacts
[382]
the size in the timing of the dividend especially in the aftermath of 2008 and
[387]
2009 of the global financial crisis the firm may have distribute cash written
[392]
to maintain specific financial ratios or manage any cyclic tendencies of the firm
[395]
so let's assume a firm is selling an air-conditioner so which have a high
[401]
demand during the summer season so they may have declare a dividend during the
[405]
winter season that will help to maintain the share price so it is during the
[409]
winter season the demand for such product dries up in the stock price can
[412]
tank up so the firms in their maturity stage they usually you know they pay
[422]
regular dividend as compared to the fast growing firm as they focused on
[425]
reinvesting the cash for the growth of the business now the companies do not
[430]
always pay dividend in cash they may pay in terms of stock dividends so the
[435]
shareholders may also be given a choice between the cash and the stock or permit
[440]
the shareholders to buy additional shares with this dividend so dividend
[443]
yields displays the overall sentiments of the market and the market expire
[447]
experts observe the trend of the cash trend of the cash dividend provided and
[456]
dozen observations are made according over it over a period of time including
[460]
the period of distress so the taxation laws of the respective
[464]
country are to be considered for the declaration like law keeps changing
[468]
regularly and those companies are required to order to them so generally
[471]
the firms have to pay the DDD that's a dividend distribution tax before
[476]
distributing the same to the stockholders so after discussing what's
[481]
the meaning the chronology part the example that we discussed and what
[486]
exactly is the importance what exactly is the importance we will finally now
[494]
conclude on our topic C the aspect of dividend is considered but double aged
[500]
remember that on one hand providing the cash dividend to the shareholder does
[506]
boost the confidence of the investor now on the flip side and involves the
[514]
financial resources okay forgone which could have been utilized for the future
[520]
development activities of the firm so the stock market also reacts accordingly
[524]
initially it may point southwards to the overall stock prices but a firm is known
[529]
distributing cash to it so the stock rise may remain stable or give rise to
[533]
give a boost to the stock market and thence the decision on dividend has to
[539]
be made keeping in view the future position of the firm and the industry
[543]
expectation it has set up so one should understand that the capital requirement
[548]
and the investors expectations vary from one industry to another and does the
[554]
comparison of the cash dividends and the dividend payout ratio should be compared
[557]
amongst the similar company already industry so that's it for this
