The Impact of the Dividend Policy on the Market Value of Shares – The Research of a Sample of Institutions Listed on the Saudi Stock: Exchange During the Period (2019-2023)

This study aims to indicate the impact of the dividend policy on the market value of shares by applying it to the institutions listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange. A sample of 13 institutions was taken for the period (2019-2023). Statistical tools were used to study the relationship between the determinants of the dividend policy as independent variables and the market value of the share as a dependent variable, relying on the (SPSS) program. One of the most important results reached through the study was the existence of a direct relationship between the market value of the share and the cash distributions of the shares, while the rest of the variables explaining the model (earnings per share, retained earnings) did not have a statistical significance toexplain the change in the market value of the share.
