Dividend & Dividend yield

A dividend is a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders. It is a portion of the company's earnings that is returned to investors as a reward for their ownership of the company's stock. Dividends are typically paid out in cash, but they can also be in the form of additional shares of stock or other property.

Dividends are usually declared by the company's board of directors and are distributed on a regular basis, such as quarterly or annually. The amount of the dividend per share is determined by the company's profitability and financial position, as well as any other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.
