| Summary: | A firm’s profit can either be retained within the business for investing, operating or can be paid out as
dividend to its shareholders. Thus, decision making for determining the best dividend policy is very
crucial in organizations. The objective of this case study is to examine the impact of dividend policy
with the firm’s performance, size, and leverage. This case study uses cross-sectional time series of firm
listed on Bursa Malaysia from year 2012 – 2021. Secondary data of 140 firms has been generated from
Thompson Reuters DataStream and Bursa Malaysia website and analysed using descriptive, Pearson
correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result showed dividend per share and dividend payout
ratio has a significant positive relationship with return on asset, Tobin Q and firm size. Whereas
dividend per share and dividend pay-out ratio has a significant negative relationship against return on
equity and leverage. The result for dividend yield showed that it has insignificant negative relationship
between return on equity and leverage, but shows a negative significant relationship against firm size
and Tobin Q and for return on asset, it indicates a positive relationship. This shows that there is an
impact of financial performance, size, and leverage on dividend policy. |
