What are dividends?
Earnings that are distributed to shareholders as dividends. They are stated in dollar amount per share and paid quarterly. Dividend Reinvestment Programs (DRP) give you the option of reinvesting dividends to purchase additional stock shares.
Dividends are taxable income in the year they are paid Dividends are payouts to corporate shareholders based on a portion of the company's profits.
Stock dividends are not includable in the gross income of the shareholder for US income tax purposes. Because the shares are issued for proceeds equal to the pre-existing market price of the shares; there is no negative dilution in the amount recoverable. Property dividends or dividends in specie (Latin for "in kind") are those paid out in the form of assets from the issuing corporation or another corporation, such as a subsidiary corporation.
They are relatively rare and most frequently are securities of other companies owned by the issuer, however they can take other forms, such as products and services. Interim dividends are dividend payments made before a company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) and final financial statements. This declared dividend usually accompanies the company's interim financial statements.
Other dividends can be used in structured finance. Financial assets with a known market value can be distributed as dividends; warrants are sometimes distributed in this way. For large companies with subsidiaries, dividends can take the form of shares in a subsidiary company.
A common technique for "spinning off" a company from its parent is to distribute shares in the new company to the old company's shareholders. The new shares can then be traded independently.
