Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of dividends on stock
price volatility in secondary stock market. The importance of stock
price volatility has been considered as barometer for measuring the
stock market performance. The study has used only secondary data to
validate the findings. It also measures the effect of dividends on stock
price sensitivity in the Bangladesh stock market using the’ Correlation
and Regression Method’ for the period 2004 to 2012 and the sample
size is 25 of A category Companies. The main reason to consider this
certain period and sample size is time and financial barrier of the
researcher. The study finds that dividend announcement of the sample
companies have a negative and insignificant impact on the stock price
sensitivity in Bangladesh. The study seems to carry an enormous
academic value since a very few studies have been undertaken in this
area. It may be helpful to the listed companies, stock exchanges,
security and exchange commission, researchers, and national policy
makers who have been making serious endeavor to protect the interest
of stakeholders and to develop the Bangladesh capital market as a
whole.
