Dividend

A distribution a company may make to shareholders, often in cash. Amounts and timing can change. A dividend is part of an investment’s total result rather than a guarantee of overall profit.

Example: A fictional $0.50 distribution on ten shares produces $5 before any applicable tax.

Watch for: Assuming a current dividend rate will continue indefinitely.
