Analyzing the Dividend Policies of Various Companies
Please recall the company that you selected for the Module 1 SLP. Please
review the company’s dividends over the past three years. Then, answer
the following questions in Word (except for the Excel portion specifically
noted):
What has occurred with company’s dividend payout, dividend yield, and
dividend per share over the past three years? Do you have any
explanations for what has occurred?
How does your selected company’s dividend payout, dividend yield, and
dividend per share compare to other companies in its industry? Has the
company’s dividend strategy been similar to other companies in its
industry?
You are now to use Excel and plot your selected company’s earnings and
dividends over the past three years. Do you notice any patterns?
What is your estimate for your company’s dividend per share next year?
Please justify why you made that decision.
Now locate a company that has reduced or eliminated its common stock
cash dividend over the past year. Why did the company reduce or
eliminate its dividend? What has happened to the company’s stock price
over the year?

manner and to analyze financial information. This is part of the assignment
expectations and will be considered for grading purposes.
