The study looked at how a company's decision to pay out dividends or not affects its value in the stock market in Pakistan. They used different methods to analyze data and found that when companies pay out more dividends or have higher dividend yields, their market value tends to be lower. On the other hand, companies that are bigger and have more debt tend to have higher market values. This suggests that how a company chooses to distribute its profits can have a big impact on how investors see its worth in the stock market.
