Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between dividend payout ratio and profitability of a firm. For this, two main sectors of Pakistan are selected, energy and textile. We employed the date of 2004–2015. We employed the logarithmic regression analysis. The results of logarithmic regression show that there is a negative impact of dividend payout ratio on next year earnings of a firm.
