This study examines the relationship between dividend yield and stock price volatility in the Indian equity market. Dividend yield represents the return earned by investors through dividends, while stock price volatility reflects the level of risk associated with stock price fluctuations. The study aims to determine whether firms with higher dividend yields experience lower volatility compared to firms with lower or no dividend payouts. Secondary data from selected companies listed on major Indian stock indices is analyzed using correlation and regression techniques. The findings indicate a significant negative relationship between dividend yield and stock price volatility, suggesting that dividendpaying firms are relatively stable and less risky. The study provides valuable insights for investors, corporate managers, and policymakers in understanding the impact of dividend policy on market behavior.
