Possibly, but that would be more likely if they announced that they were going to have quarterly dividends. For a 1 time dividend, it probably would raise the PPS up the amount of the dividend until the dividend was paid, then it would drop lower. However, some people would value the stock slightly higher than they normally would because of the "if they did it once, they could do it again" thinking. Besides, it would raise the credibilty of the company as I don't think scam companies pay dividends.
