Corporate Finance Spring 2025 - Session 22: Dividend Trade offs

Win this quiz-shortened session, we started by looking at three schools of thought on dividends that cover the spectrum (dividends don’t matter, dividends are bad, dividends are good)., We ended the class by looking at two bad reasons for paying dividends (that they are more certain, that you had a good year), and with one good reason - a clientele that likes dividends.
