Abstract
This paper analyzes the influence of financial leverage decisions, dividend payout policies and the ownership structure on the firm market value when companies either face, or do not face, profitable growth opportunities. We use a sample of 101 large non-financial publicly traded Spanish companies. Our results confirm the relevance of debt and dividends in terms of firm value creation by showing a negative relationship between firm value and leverage in the presence of growth opportunities. On the contrary, this relationship turns out to be positive when firms have no profitable investment projects and dividends show an outstanding role in improving value creation. Our results also demonstrate the relevance of ownership structure in the allocation of firm resources.
