Catering Aspects of Dividend Payment and Stock Exchange Situation

Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to find the answer to two research questions whether: 1) the rational behaviour of executives is manifested in the variable to the stock market situation propensity to pay dividends and 2) dividend preferences of investors depend on the situation on the stock market? In the article, there were formulated two hypotheses stating that: 1) during economic downturns relatively more companies initiate dividend payments, 2) during the “bear market” dividend companies are valued relatively higher. Preliminary results of empirical studies show that during the recession on capital market the share of companies that initiate dividend payments increase but dividend paying companies are not valued higher than the other companies.
