The remaining net profit of the company is distributed as dividends to shareholders, with the approval of the general meeting of shareholders (GMS). The Dividend Per Share (DPS) ratio describes the value of dividends received by investors for each share they own. Because the Price Earnings Ratio (PER) and Earning Per Share (EPS) are high, the dividend per share (DPS) owned is also high. When the Price Earning Ratio (PER) and Earning Per Share (EPS) are high but the Dividend Per Share (DPS) generated is low or vice versa, it is said to be problematic. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Price Earning Ratio (PER) and Earning Per Share (EPS) had a significant effect on the Dividend Per Share (DPS) in animal feed sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2020.
