Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Shareholders would prefer the company’s management to take actions that increase the share price and dividends and improve their financial position.

Detailed explanation-2: -Companies that don’t pay dividends on stocks are typically reinvesting the money that might otherwise go to dividend payments into the expansion and overall growth of the company. This means that, over time, their share prices are likely to appreciate in value.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stock dividends have no impact on the cash position of a company and only impact the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. If the number of shares outstanding is increased by less than 20% to 25%, the stock dividend is considered to be small.

Detailed explanation-4: -A company that is still growing rapidly usually won’t pay dividends because it wants to invest as much as possible into further growth. Mature firms that believe they can increase value by reinvesting their earnings will choose not to pay dividends.
