Stock dividends (unless there is a cash dividend on a regular basis) are simply diluting the capital of the corp by the extra percentage of shares outstanding. A 10% stock dividend could easily reduce the value of each share by 10%. I would always prefer to have a cash dividend based on true earnings, over a share dividend. It is cheap to give away stock--doesn't cost the corp anythiing, and therefore isn't really worth anything. Think of it as a 10% stock split.
