Definition of Dividends


A dividend is the amount of money that a company pays to its shareholders.

Dividends are usually paid on a regular basis, such as yearly or six-monthly.

The company decides on the amount of the dividend it will pay on each share.

For example, if you buy \(200\) shares in Alice the Cow's Circus and Mathematical Consultancy Company, and the company issues a \(\$3\) dividend, you will receive a \(\$300\) payment from the company.
