“…For an expected distribution increase (decrease), the implied cost of capital drops (rises) in the lead-up period due to its inverse relationship with the unit price. The effect associated with the increase is lower than that observed in the case of an eventual decrease in the payout, an empirical result similar to findings of Benesh et al (1984) and Eades et al (1985). One advantage to studying the income trust sector, when considering payout decreases, is the necessity for the trust to continue with a reduced payout in these negative situations.…”

“…Subsequent studies using daily returns document small but significant two‐day announcement returns (see, for example, Aharony and Swary, 1980). Stronger effects are found with dividend initiations and omissions, which are relatively unanticipated events (see, for example, Asquith and Mullins, 1986; Benesh, Keown and Pinkerton, 1984; and Dielman and Oppenheimer, 1984). Denis, Denis and Sarin (1994) report evidence consistent with the cash flow signaling hypothesis for the stock price reaction to dividend change announcements.…”

“…However, some authors found no evidence of a significant market reaction to dividend change announcements, suggesting that dividend announcements does not convey valuable information to the market, contrary to the content information dividend hypothesis (Lang and Litzenberger, 1989;Benartzi et al, 1997;Conroy et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2002;Abeyratna and Power, 2002;Fu and Morgan, 2008;Ali andChowdhury, 2010 andAsamoah, 2010). Furthermore, several studies found evidence of a significant percentage of cases where share price reactions are opposite to the dividend changes direction (Asquith and Mullins, 1983;Benesh et al, 1984;Born et al, 1988;Dhillon and Johnson, 1994;Healy et al, 1997;Fu andMorgan, 2008 andUrooj andZafar, 2008).…”
