Abstract
The estimation of firm growth is increasingly relevant to providers of capital in periods of economic uncertainty. The current study employs univariate and multivariate analyses to assess the impact of real GDP and the dividend payout ratio on earnings growth of JSE-listed firms. The findings reveal that there is no relationship between these hypothesised predictors of earnings growth, despite contrasting results of previous studies. Through the inclusion of real GDP in models that are established in the research, the study contributes to the literature of macroeconomic variables as lead indicators of firms’ earnings growth potential. This research also extends prior research on the impact of dividend payout ratio on future earnings growth.
