shareholder dividends
Stock ownership earnings
Shareholder dividends are portions of a company's profits distributed to its stockholders.
Companies typically pay dividends quarterly, either as cash or additional shares.
Not all companies pay dividends—many reinvest profits instead.
The board voted to increase shareholder dividends by 5%.
Dividends represent one way investors earn returns beyond stock price appreciation.
