Dividends股息

1
Dividends are a distribution of earnings paid to investors by a company or a fund. Dividends may be paid in the form of cash or stock although a company is under no obligation to pay a dividend of any kind to its common shareholders. Preferred stock, however, is usually issued with the promise of a regular dividend.

When a board of directors does decide to pay a dividend, it usually pays it quarterly and according to the ownership interest of each shareholder.
