| description | This study aims to investigate the impact of profitability, life cycle, liquidity, growth opportunities, leverage, size of the firm, age of the firm, and previous year’s dividend on the dividend decisions of the firms listed on the S&P 500. The two-step system GMM dynamic panel model has been applied to the data set over 11 years from 2010–2021 to ascertain the influencing of variables on the dividend decisions of the firms. The study results indicate a positive and significant effect of the dividend per share of the previous year along with the firm’s profitability, and size on the dividend per share of the firm. It indicates good corporate governance practices that surge the shareholder value. The analysis findings may have several implications for investors, corporate decision-makers, portfolio managers, and policymakers who need to understand the complex factors that influence dividend payout policy. Corporate managers, policymakers, and regulators can lure significant conclusions from the study’s outcomes. The study reinforces the previous studies and sheds new insights on the impact of firm-level variables on dividend decisions of firms and helps the firms devise appropriate strategies to boost the firm’s growth, which is a value driver of financial development in the USA. |
