guipo g = RR X ROE with RR = 1 - PO so I would say that as P/CF is positively related to g and g is negativeley related to PO then P/CF is negatively related to PO...

Correct?
NIKKIZ Guipo - that's what I thought too...
davidt876 completely agree guipo. even the P/E formula from earlier:
P0/E0 = (1-b)(1+g)/(r-g)

where b is retention ratio... suggests P/E has a positive relationship with the payout ratio - but that makes 0 sense when you consider the knock on effect on growth.

it can maybe impact the short term P/E, where income hungry investors bid up a stock's price on news of a 'higher than expected' payout.. but then on the XD the value of the distribution should drop right back out of the price.

i personally think these equations are a load of it. the notes even mention that they fail in empirical tests

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
