Abstract

The problem-field dividend payout policy is a very complex issue. Particular within the low-interest phase in Europe, the significance of this issue is growing for all investors, equal to whether private or institutional investors. The aim of this study is to research the European area to provide a contribution to a region, which, unfortunately, has given sparse attention in the past. In order to ensure the relevance for this exploration, the major European stock index Euro Stoxx 600 has been used. The results of the multiple linear regression show the unequal dividend distribution between stock companies from the industrial sector and the service sector. Besides, it has shown that institutional investors play as well a significant role within the dividend policy in European public companies. Furthermore, the net income of a corporation influenced in all previous analysis the dividend reimbursement, which could be confirmed through this paper as well. Regarding the previous studies, this paper provides an additional source for further studies which also occupy with this complicated question.
