Assessment of Dividend Payout Ratios in Nepalese Commercial Banks: A Buddhism Perspective

Buddhism ethics in investment and profit distribution emphasize compassion, non-harm, ethical conduct, generosity, and avoidance of greed, guiding Nepalese banks toward balanced, sustainable, and ethical operations. The dividend payout ratio shows how much of a company's earnings after tax are distributed to shareholders, indicating profitability and boosting shareholder trust. The board of directors sets the dividend policy, including payment frequency and amount, based on company performance. The study titled, assessment of dividend payout ratios in Nepalese commercial banks from a Buddhist perspective analyzes three prominent banks (NBL, RBB, and ADB) from 2012/13 to 2021/22. These banks were chosen for their strong fundamentals and popularity among investors. The study used secondary data from annual reports and employed statistical and financial tools like descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis to evaluate their performance and investment appeal. From a Buddhism perspective, the investment and dividend mechanisms should align with ethical considerations. The analysis shows that banks with higher growth and earnings per share tend to have higher dividend payouts, but the overall complexity and variability suggest that mindful and ethical financial decisions are crucial.

CORPORATE DECISION-MAKING AND THE IMPACT OF ACQUISITIONS ON SHARE PRICES: THE CASE OF VERIZON

This study investigates the impact of Verizon Communications Inc.'s acquisition of Yahoo on the company's stock performance, using a combination of statistical, visual, and multiscale analytical methods. The research analyzes how strategic corporate decisions, particularly acquisitions, influence short-term and long-term stock behavior. Data spanning from 2014 to 2024 was analyzed to capture pre-acquisition, acquisition, and post-acquisition trends. The methodology integrates boxplot visualizations to explore variability and outliers, quantile analysis to assess distributional characteristics, and descriptive statistics to summarize key metrics such as mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis.

Results reveal significant volatility during key events, such as the Yahoo acquisition in 2017 and the COVID-19 pandemic, with daily fluctuations peaking at ±6. Medium-term adjustments (4–8 days) exhibited moderate changes, and long-term trends (32-day cycles) showed structural shifts, including positive coefficients in 2017 (+0.5) and negative coefficients in 2020 (-0.6). The research highlights the heavy-tailed nature of return distributions and skewed trading volume patterns. This study provides insights into the multifaceted effects of acquisitions on stock performance, offering valuable implications for investors and corporate managers in optimizing strategic decisions.

Research on Corporate Innovation and Compensation Incentives

The optimal contract theory believes that the compensation contract can alleviate the agency contradiction between executives and shareholders. By making the interest goals of executives and shareholders converge, it can enhance the innovation willingness of senior executives to a certain extent, increase the innovation investment of enterprises, and then improve the performance of the company. However, the increase of investment in innovation will not necessarily improve the companys performance, and there may be an endogenous relationship between the two factors, which further complicates the issue of compensation incentive. This article sorts out the relevant literature on enterprise innovation and salary incentive, and discusses the relationship between salary incentive and enterprise innovation and its influence on the endogenous relationship between enterprise innovation and company performance. In addition, the possible influence of executive attachment characteristics on compensation incentive is also discussed.

Companies not only rely on profit for their survival but also use it as an important parameter for decision-making. Moreover, Profitable companies are better positioned to fulfill social responsibilities. Therefore, companies consider profit to be one of the most important parameters.
