The desire for stable dividend policies in Malaysian corporate sector is adequately captured by the stock adjustment model of John Lintner. This study also gathered evidence in support of the dividend irrelevance hypothesis of Miller-Modigliani. Dividends are found to possess significant information content and, thus, signalling capacity.
