cash dividends
Profit distribution checks
Cash dividends are payments a corporation makes to shareholders from its profits, distributed as actual money rather than additional stock.
Companies typically pay them quarterly, and shareholders receive an amount proportional to their holdings: The company announced cash dividends of $0.50 per share.
