Can fundamentals account for the recent performance of the U.S. stock market? The price/earnings ratio is out of line with historical averages, and the dividend/price ratio has recently reached a historic low. These developments and record levels of inflows into mutual funds have led some to conclude that stock prices are above their fundamental levels. This paper assesses the recent rise in the stock market using a model for the equilibrium dividend/price ratio. While economic variables can account for most of the recent fall in the dividend/price ratio, mutual-fund inflows still have some marginal explanatory power.

A unique guide that combines the best of traditional value theory with an innovative approach to assessing value in low or non-dividend paying stocks In the 1990s, America's focus on productivity and innovation led to huge gains in technology, communication, and healthcare stocks, and contributed to the transformation of the U.S. stock market from a value (dividend-paying orientation) to a growth (nondividend-paying) bias. During this time, forward thinking value managers began to develop analytical tools for valuing nondividend paying stocks. These tools allowed them to evaluate and identify the best investments in both traditional and nontraditional value sectors. At the forefront of this movement was author Nancy Tengler who, along with Noel DeDora, developed "Relative Value Discipline," an approach-which combines two proven methods for valuing growth stocks: Relative Dividend Yield and Relative-to-Price Sales. The combination of these approaches allows individuals to invest across the investment universe regardless of dividend policies. New Era Value Investing introduces the proven method known as Relative Value Discipline by combining the excitement of developing a new investment discipline with the lessons learned through the application of this new methodology in the real world. In addition to providing an insider's look at an investment manager's experience in adopting a new investment approach, this book creates a context for understanding the transformation of the U.S. economy, and offers expert insights beyond those of traditional value theory.

She is coauthor of "Relative Dividend Yield: Common Stock Investing for Income and Appreciation" (Wiley: 0-471-53652-0).

Improve your investment returns with expert advice from the world's leading financial information organization Investors are rediscovering the profitable advantages of dividend-paying stocks, due to the "bird in the hand" nature of regular dividend payments, dramatically reduced historical volatility, and the current reduction in the federal dividend tax rate. The Standard & Poor's Guide to Building Wealth with Dividend Stocks tackles all the key issues for adding the stability and performance of dividend stocks to your portfolio, providing hands-on techniques for identifying the best dividend-paying stocks and companies, using dividend tax law changes to improve returns, and implementing innovative dividend stock strategies.

We examine the relationship between Returns and Dividends in the context of the UK Stock Market, using data from the LBS London Share Price Database (LSPD) and using robust estimation (GMM). We also introduce earnings-related data into our analysis, using Payout Ratio as a carrier of this additional information. We find that the introduction of the additional variable has a considerable effect upon the inferences which would otherwise have been drawn from a study of Dividend Yield in the absence of such earnings information.Our methodology allows for the establishment of a distinct category for Zero-Dividend stocks (as distinct from those stocks which are merely low-yielding). This allows us to examine in more detail the particular returns characteristics of this class of stocks, which has more in common (in terms of Returns performance) with the high-yielding, rather than the low-yielding subdivision of dividend-paying stocks.Because of the implicit relationship (in terms of a joint distribution) between the dividend payment characteristics of firms and their size, we use an improved measure of Market Capitalisation (relative to that posted explicitly in the LSPD) in order to convey size information into our regressions. This allows for improved resolution, both in terms of the magnitude of the firm size variable, and also of its sampling frequency. Our analysis also accounts for the more complex seasonal behaviour apparent in UK returns characteristics.Our study proceeds from an initial survey of 'raw' (non risk-adjusted) returns for our system of 30 portfolios (6 Dividend Yield subdivisions x 5 Size subdivisions), followed by the introduction of risk adjustment on both an individual (portfolio) and category (Dividend Yields; Market Capitalisations) basis. This leads to a more complete model specification which allows for both categorical and interaction variables in order to separate and identify the various influences at play in determining returns behaviour.We conclude that the inclusion of Payout Ratio is an important adjunct to Dividend Yield in explaining Returns; indeed, our subperiod analysis revealed that, in many instances, the former seems to dominate the latter. Because of this, we deduce that Payout Ratio may convey additional signalling information, over and above that of Dividend Yield alone, for investors.
