ZALIS GLOSSARY: dividend
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. The amount of a dividend is quoted in the amount each share receives or in other words dividends per share.
Notes:
Dividends may be in the form of cash, stock, or property. Most secure and stable companies offer dividends to their stockholders. Their share prices might not move much, but the dividend attempts to make up for this.
High-growth companies don't offer dividends because all their profits are reinvested to help sustain higher-than-average growth
