It ensures the value of commercial bank. If bank fails to balance it in a proper way, it will significantly affect the bank and indirectly affect the country as well. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of leverage, dividend policy and profitability on value of Nepalese commercial banks. This research had tried to investigate the internal (bank specific) that will affect decisions of dividend policy and value of firms.
A total of 14 commercial banks are chosen to represent the Nepalese commercial banks during period form 2002/03 to 2013/14. The independent variables for this research are earnings per share, price earnings ratio, book value per share, return on assets, debt to equity, size and tax.For analysis of data descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis among the dependent and independent is used.This study is based on secondary data and data are collected from the annual reports of the individual bank, Nepal Rastra Bank BFIs statistics, and audited balance sheet of respective bank, published journals and books.
The correlation analysis shows that the dependent variable, market price of share is positively related to earnings per share, dividend per share, price earnings ratio, book value per share, return on assets and size, debt equity ratio, reserve and tax payable. However, the result shows that there is only significant positive relationship of earning per share and dividend per share, return on assets, size, reserve and tax with market price per share.
The linear regression model is used to examine the relationship between dependent variable, dividend per share, market price per share and independent variables, firm specific. Among the firm specific variables, return on assets, size, earning per share, book value per share and debt to equity with dividend per share,size, earning per share and reserve shows the significant positive relationship with dividend per share. The regression of firm specific variables on market price per share shows that the beta coefficients are positive and significant for earning per share, return on assets, dividend per share, size and tax. Likewise, the beta coefficient of P/E ratio is also found to be positive and but not significant.
The study shows that dividend per share is positively related with market per share and relationship is significant, which also supports the priori hypothesis of positive relationship with value of firms. The positive relationship with market value of firms indicates that increase in dividend per share leads to increase in market price per share. Return on assets, size and tax has also has significant relationship with market price per share. The positive coefficient of return on assets, size and tax to market price per share indicates increasing return on assets, size and tax contributes to increase in value of commercial banks which also support the prior hypothesis. |
