Abstract
This paper focuses on the relationship between the determinants of dividend
policy and the market price of shares. For this purpose, the researchers have
considered 07 public sector banks for five years span of time from the year 2014-
15 to 2018-19. Karl Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis with
all assumptions have been applied with the use of SPSS and Excel. The
profitability (ROE & EPS), Liquidity (Current Ratio), Leverage (Total Debt to
Total Assets Ratio), Size (LN of Total Assets), Dividend Policy (DPS, DPO &
DY), and Risk(P/E Ratio) have considered as explanatory variables and Closing
Market Price of Share is taken as the dependent variable to examine the
relationship between two variables. The result of multiple linear regression
analysis shows the significant positive impact of liquidity, size, and leverage on
the market price of shares, positive but insignificant relationship between
profitability, risk and dividend policy with market price of shares and growth
has an insignificant relationship with market price of shares of selected PSBs.
