Dr. Deepak Kumar D, Mr. Chandan L, Mr. Kiran S
The study explores the impact of dividend decisions on the market prices of IT sector shares in India, focusing on the period from 2015 to 2024. The primary objective is to understand the intricate relationship between dividend policies and stock market performance, with a particular emphasis on risk and return dynamics in the IT sector. By analysing data spanning nine years, the research identifies patterns linking market price per share (MPS) with dividend per share (DPS), providing insights into investor behaviour and preferences in response to dividend announcements. The study also examines the influence of the dividend payout ratio on stock prices, shedding light on how dividend policies affect shareholder value and market perception of IT firms. Through a detailed analysis of financial metrics and trends, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the financial strategies employed by IT companies and their implications for investors. The findings are expected to guide both corporate decision-makers in optimizing their dividend strategies and investors in making informed investment choices within the IT sector.
