One of the most important factors affecting financing issues as a challenge for companies is to maintain financial flexibility. Internal Financial flexibility is affected by the company's liquidity. The cash holding indicates the ability of a company to deal with the risks, which largely depends on changes in cash flow and dividend policy of the company. In order to measure the dividends adjustment speed, which is a benchmark for dividend smoothing, the rolling window regressions based on the Lintner model (1956) was used Faulkender and Wang (2006) method is applied for measuring the marginal value of cash, which is an indicator for measuring financial flexibility. According to the research constraints, 105 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2008-2018 using the STATA software have been investigated. The results of the research show that the marginal value of cash does not have a significant effect on the dividends adjustment speed. Also, the Liquidity shock has no effect on the relationship between the marginal value of cash and the dividends adjustment speed
