    Information signaling

    Explanation:

    Information signalling is defined as the various actions a firm takes that communicates it's financial outlook. For example if a firm releases a dividend policy it communicates the value of the firm's stock.

    In this scenario the CEO announced increase in the firm's dividend. This will convey to investors that the company has a competitive advantage which will result in additional income, so dividends are being raised.

    It is an indirect way of announcing good news about the prospect of a new technology being created.
