Abstract:
This study is designed to know if there are any significant differences among the Stockholder
wealth of bonus paying and non-bonus paying banks in Pakistan. Regression analysis is used
to analyze the data which has been collected from the annual statements of the banks
involved. I have used 10 private and 4 public sector banks for the study. The results show that
the ratio of current to recorded value of the equity of bonus paying and not bonus paying
banks differ significantly in Pakistan. On the other hand there is no major difference found
between Stockholder wealth of bonus paying and non-bonus paying banks of Pakistan.
