The results are shows, dividends have significant effect to stock price, conversely, the stock price also have significant effect to dividends. These results make the implications of this study are fit for signaling effect, bird in the hand effect, and catering effect. In further analysis, this study also find, the characteristics of dividend payers are usually represented by number of shares, fixed assets, total assets, total debt, retained earnings, total equity, revenue, and net income.
