Abstract

The paper investigated the effect of dividend policy on firms’ value of eight Nigerian food and beverages companies between 2008 and 2016. Fixed effect was employed as data analytical tools. Result indicates that dividend yield, dividend payout ratio and leverage have no significant negative effect on firms’ value. On the other hand, dividend per share, earnings per share and firm size were found to exert significant positive effect on firms’ value. This implies that dividend announcement and amount involved will increase firms’ value. It is therefore recommended that firms should adopt dividend policy that will translate to higher firms’ value.
