Comcast Corp. to eliminate dividend, rely on stock price
Article Abstract:
Philadelphia, PA-based cable giant Comcast Corp. said recently that it will eliminate its dividend, deciding to depend on its stock performance alone to attract investors. The company will approve a 2-for-1 stock split. US tax policy has made dividends less attractive to investors than escalating stock prices, which makes the company's move not very unusual or original.
