    Dividend Policy at Fpl

    In 1994, Merrill Lynch published a report that disclosed the change in their investment rating for the FPL Group, Inc.. They had downgraded this rating as they expected the directors would choose not to raise the annual dividend. This also happened to be the first time in 47 years that the FPL Group had not raised dividends. This tweaked the interest of a certain electric utilities analyst at the First Equity Securities Corporation, Kate Stark. She now was faced with the decision whether or not to amend her own recommendation of “hold” on FPL Group, Inc.’s stock (her recommendation of hold was based on the assumption that FPL will keep its dividend at $2.48 per share, or increase this slightly).…

    Of the 16 companies on the SOX index, six paid dividends and Linear Technology is one of them started at the second quarter in 1993 which is 5.3 million in total. However, in the case, according to Coghlan, “The quarterly dividend was initially set at $0.05 per share. This amounted to $8.3 million, or 15% of FY 1994 earnings.” And their most recent dividend in 2002(cause in the exhibit2, there’s only threes quarter’s data in 2003, so that’s why I choose 2002 as the last year), the dividend was $0.17 per share amounted to 54 million total.

    Determinates of Dividend Policy Apple

    Lintner (1956) was the first empirical study on dividend policy, he revealed that dividend add value to the shares of a firm. The turning point in theoretical modeling of dividend was the brilliant paper of Modigliani and Miller (1961) of dividend Irrelevance. Since the postulation of dividend irrelevance, financial economists have argued via two major schools of thought; those who believe dividend is relevant and those that believe dividend is not relevant. Despite the theories by academics to examine dividend policy, the dividend picture is still puzzling.…

    Dividend Reserve Rules

    SECTION 205 DIVIDEND TO BE PAID ONLY OUT OF PROFITS Dividend declared at extraordinary general meeting of company - Whether permissible The query has been raised whether a company is prohibited from declaring a further dividend at a general meeting of a company other than the annual general meeting after a dividend had already been declared at an annual general meeting. Such a situation could arise, for example, when after declaring a dividend at an annual general meeting, the company finds that it is required to declare a further amount as dividend in order to qualify for certain benefits under the Income-tax Act. The matter has been considered in the Company Law Board which has been advised that while there is no provision in the Companies Act prohibiting the declaration of a dividend at a general meeting other than the annual general meeting of the company (vide regulation 85 of Table A of Schedule I) unless otherwise provided in the articles of association, it is beyond the powers of a company to declare a further dividend after the declaration of dividend at the annual general meeting. In this connection attention is invited of all concerned, to the decision of the Calcutta High Court in the matter of Biswa Nath Pd. Khaitan v. New Central Jute Mills Ltd. (1961) 31 Comp. Cas. 125. Thus a company which could not declare a dividend at an annual general meeting may do so at a subsequent general meeting. On the other hand, where a company has declared a dividend at a general meeting neither the company nor its directors can declare a further dividend for the same year. * CIRCULAR NO.22[7/9/74-CL-ii], DATED 25.9.1975. Payment of interim dividend -Whether confirmation by shareholders has to be only in annual general meeting. Approval of dividend is the privilege of the general meeting and the board can pay interim dividend if so authorised by the articles of association subject to the regularisation of the interim dividend by the company…
