| dc.description.abstract | In spite of long periods of empirical research, the connection between corporate dividend policy and share price volatility remains disputable among scholars and researchers. Circumstantial to this, the study investigates the relationship between corporate dividend policy and share price volatility of listed conglomerates in Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive statistics, pairwise correlation and panel data regression technique to analyze the data collected from audited financial reports of listed conglomerates for a period of 10 years (2009 – 2018). The study revealed that dividend yield has a negative impact on share price volatility and dividend payout ratio has a negative influence on share price volatility. Consequently, the study concluded that corporate dividend policy plays a significant role in the Nigerian listed conglomerates’ share price volatility. The investigation recommends that listed conglomerates firms should devise a dividend policy that takes cognizance of the existing and prospecting investors. | |
