stock dividends
Investor profit shares
Stock dividends are additional shares of stock given to shareholders instead of cash payments.
A company might issue a 5% stock dividend, meaning shareholders receive one new share for every twenty they own.
Unlike cash dividends, stock dividends don't reduce company assets—they simply divide ownership into more pieces.
The board declared a stock dividend to conserve cash while still rewarding investors.
