The Dividend Decision, James Tompkins

This is the sixth lecture in the "Advanced Corporate Finance" series in which I discuss a firm's dividend decision. Why do some firms pay no dividends while others consistently pay dividends? What are the implications if a firm raises or cuts its dividend? Similar to the capital structure lectures, I discuss different thought processes and conclude with the primary drivers behind the dividend decision. In fact, the thought processes are so similar that this lecture is easier to understand if you have already understood the capital structure lectures. As always, the emphasis is on understanding and not memorization.

Thank you again for your kind words Uday. Unfortunately, the topic you are asking me about is not in my area of expertise. I am sorry to disappoint you about this.

Please stop asking me questions that I do not know the answer to. I feel like I would learn more if you would just teach and come out with the information and not wait for me to "answer" these questions
