Abstract: This study analyses various factors that affect firms’ dividend payout decisions. It investigates the impact of six firm characteristics: price-earnings ratio, firm age, firm size, growth, firm liquidity and firm leverage on dividend payout. Panel data have been obtained from 151 BSE companies for 2015–2024. A fixed-effect regression model has been used for the study. The results reveal that leverage and growth have a positive significant impact, whereas firm age has a negative significant effect on the dividend payout decisions of the firm.
